As I cannot wait until early next year for my custom order JR-1DCS, have left over wood stains to 'recycle' and with Xmas just around the corner, it was time to convince the CFO that another kit was required in the interim. And so a 'Sunday Special' SG-1F was ordered.
Although I have not yet received the kit my mind has been busy ticking over the build-plan.. Kluson tuners, upgraded pots and drop-caps are in order and maybe some mechanism inbuilt so I can easily change over the pups in the future. I have some cherry-red & black Colourtone to use up, so this will be used on the body. Finish & neck; Tru-Oil (make some space available in the naughty room, mushroom & bacon pizza my favourite ). Not sure if I will stain the headstock, maybe a veneer. Headstock shape to be my second 'live' attempt at a traditional 'G' style shape. Also plan to have a decal on this build.
Had a few practice runs on some scrap wood to 'hone' my coping saw skills for the headstock design. 3rd time lucky.. ended up with a nice square cut so a bit more confident when working on the real deal.
