I can't remember if you said what pickups you used. Are they stock? I have a set of the PB stock humbuckers and have been thinking about what I might do with them....

This one has the stock pups. On the weekend I can hopefully give them a good test! And also decide if I need to add a treble bleed.Originally Posted by fender3x
I also have a couple of stock humbuckers and single coils hidden away. I was thinking of making a few "Guitar Nut" paper clip stands or a magnetic knife rack!

Will be interested in the type of treble bleed you use.
I was thinking along the lines of swapping out the magnets...but now that you mention it they would make a very rock-and-roll way of sticking the grocery list to the fridge ;-)
Actually, the MBM-1 did not need a treble bleed. I only tested it on my practice amp, but it sounded nice on the clean and distorted settings. So now I can call this one done.

It has been over a month since I added the oil-based wipe-on-poly to the custom MBM-1 build. It should have gassed-off by now!
So, today I sprayed on 3 coats of Cabot's water-based polyurethane. The headstock also has a Cricut cut vinyl sticker for the logo.

Wow that is a really gorgeous color! It's going to look great! Now that it's getting close, what are you thinking of putting in it. Curious about the pickup and circuitry.
As usual, I am also impressed by tidy portable workbench. You could market that. Mine is made from stuff that was lying around, including old boards my kids broke in Tae Kwan Do--and it looks like it. Philadelphia Luthier Tools is not interested.
Thanks fender3x.
The pickup will be a Tonerider Zebra Bridge Humbucker (if it looks cool with the colour combo!), and the electronics will be volume and tone, plus a multiple coil tap circuit and a Varitone circuit. See https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...l=1#post227525.
Today I have also completed burst 1 - Sprayed on Cabot's water-based poly with a maroon dye.

That looks amazing!

If that baby sounds as good as it looks when finished, it will be a showstopper. Great work.
Thanks fender3x and XP Rider. I'm very happy with the way it is looking, and I hope I don't stuff it up on the next part. This weekend I can hopefully get a few more clear coats added.
