Thread: 1st Build LP1m

    The whole project is coming along just brilliantly.
    I am going to steal that stratified (nothing to do with fender) headstock trick.

    Gaz - neat idea with the veneer on the headstock. Personal point of view, ditch the cheap plackie truss rod cover and if you still need one, make it up with the veneer (even better, use something like maple)... You've done all this fantastic work, to have the cheap plastic reduces the overall impact.

    Hi all, have taken Brendan's advise and knocked up a neat little truss rod cover from Maple. It even has a little flame in it and will match the body nicely. Nice contrast to the Rosewood. ( Progress is a little slow as work keeps getting in the way). Hope to start with the wiring soon.
    Cheers

    I think everyone's gonna be pinching this idea, way too cool.

    Hi all
    Have encountered my 1st problem. One of my tuners has not been threaded inside the spigot part of the housing (as shown). Not sure what to do?


    Cheers
