Hope it goes this time, trouble is I have forgotten what I was saying so I'll just send the pics.
1st pic. trying to show off the shine from using that stuff I'm using on Taylor, the pic wont really show how {almost} nice it is.
2nd pic dont know what it's showing.
3rd pic, basically the finished guitar, still fiddling with it a little. Noticed I put .008s' on it so might need to take them a bit heavier.
Never changed the electrics as there was no room left in the control cavity.
SOoooooo! thats it for this little lot of messages. May be I'll put up a little demo in a few days (if I can get the recording going.)
Rick.
looking good Rick, be interested to hear how the intonation is now that you moved the bridge rearward.

I got a feeling Stan this axe may have already been entered but I could be wrong.
Sure Rick can confirm that

Hi Guys, Yep it was on GOTM last year some time,
Strangely enough, Wokka, I'm still not happy with the tuning, it keeps going out. Might have to put a curfew on it. (ha ha)
Just not too sure why, maybe when the strings stretch in a bit it might be stable.
Rick.
How quickly do they go out of tune? Are you using the Bigsby, using lots of string bending, or strumming heavily before they go out of tune?/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from surfmusic on May 20, 2014, 19:09

yer Rick good chance its not the bridge position causing it to go out of tune quickly, run the strings in so they stretch on the pegs and could be the neck setting in as well

Rick, leave it for a few weeks and keep tuning it up, it eventually does want to stay in tune
yeah, Thanks Keloooe, noticed it is getting better. Won't be using light strings again.
Been trying to makea demo but don't seem to be able to get a sound that I am satisfied with.
It's either too distorted or too much bass. (and it could be my ears, too deaf)
Rick.
