JM-1 The King's 2nd PitBull build

"The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey".

(Brian Johnson, BBC commentator, at a 1976 England Vs West Indies match).

I reckon Cricket was invented with 'double entendre' in mind.

B.J. produced a few

'There’s Neil Harvey standing at leg slip with his legs wide apart, waiting for a tickle'.

'Ray Illingworth has just relieved himself at the pavilion end'.

'As he comes into bowl, Freddie Titmus has got two short legs, one of them square'.

Hi Andy4O thanks for the comment.
Bevel was done thus, but with patience patience patience.
Will probably finesse it again in a few spots as the glaring errors attract my attention.


cheers, Mark

Just caught up with this build KC. Nice work and mods mate. great job so far.

How did you do the bevel on the pick guard material?

[Andy40]

Old School. respect

[king casey]

Finally some movement at the station.
Wired it up and getting ready for re-fitting the neck.


Into the final straight.
cheers, Mark.

[king casey]

Nearing the finish line.
Decided to re-do the headstock which will require yet another veneer application.


cheers, Mark.

[king casey]

As the headstock is having to be re-done, decided to 'streamline' the butt end to allow greater access (cheers, neverwas).

plugging all the holes first.


I'll veneer both sides and (hopefully this time) get the tuner holes right.
[edit] oops...missed one hehe
cheers, Mark

[neverwas]

It's always a pain to go back and redo your work, I know.
Happy that someone else has found a mod I've done to be useful.
Cheers

cheers, Grant. Still it's good to get it 'improved'.
Well it's now completed, up to a point.
The tremolo has never worked to my liking. I'll investigate it some other time.
Plays really well but it did so before I had to re-do the bridge.
Not a basket case anyway.


I'll have to work out how to upload video again.

cheers, Mark

After a considerable wearing-in period, thought I'd assault some ears with a demo of this monstrosity.
Getting a constant buzz that isn't present in my other builds.
Shall investigate in due course.

cheers, Mark.

[I’ll give it a go]

That sounds good KC, I only heard a buzz right at the end. Nice playing as well, I hope one day I can sound like that.
