    The Strumpet - Build #2

    An RCM-1 kit with the following mods:
    Replaced stock tuners with black Grover locking tuners.
    Replaced stock plastic pickguard with hand made Eucalyptus wooden guard (grain was filled with Timbermate Jarrah)
    Replaced stock tailpiece with black open trapeze
    Replaced stock bridge and posts with black rollermatic bridge
    Replaced stock jack plate with black version
    All chrome screws replaced with black ones
    Humbucker pickup covers spray painted black
    Fret markers on neck were removed and filled with epoxy resin with glow powder. Strings are Elixir Polyweb 10s
    Replaced stock strap knobs with locking versions.
    Body and neck were grain filled with Timbermate Mahogany, top filled with Timbermate Hardwood and then all sanded back to 1500 before finish of 6 coats of Feast Watson clear varnish in matt, applied with HVLP sprayer.
    Have to say I'm a mite pleased with this one though for some reason I can only add 5 photos.
    Oh, and it plays well too!
