There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Looking sweet Gav love these riccys yours and DB's
Yer maybe a loud scratchplate may bring out its best features but up to your tastes.
Keep up the good work big fella and conch girl aint that bad a colour!

Nice one Gav
will post dome pics of the Riccy I am building soon.
Time for a Riccy off!
The fretboard on this one was sensational. Set up to do the fret job, did all the markings, gave the fret a soft run with the block and it was done! Reckon some one at the factory must have known what they were doing!
The colour combo is very nice,nice work..
Done!!!!

Beautiful Gav! Even Tortoise shell pup surrounds! Much work to get the scratchplate right?

Well, there goes the bar up another notch.
I know I'm old and old fashioned, but how did anything that beautiful ever go out of fashion.
Lovely job Gav. Well done
