Dream Catcher LP

Thanks for the tip Gav. I will try that.
So I finally got home from work last night and today I took Dream Catcher and used some rubbing compound made for clear coats on the little spot I was concerned about. After a couple minutes of work the spot disappeared. Just like it had never been there in the first place. My smile must have reached my ears. Very happy indeed. Next cutting the headstock.

I also found some blank water transfer decal paper so I'm now trying to design a head stock logo.

Cheers.
Brian

That's excellent news, Brian. I can understand your relief. And go for it making a decal. It's a great way to personalise your guitar.

Well, after some thinking and looking around in the garage I found some lumber that I wasn't using. Gav's suggestion about clamping to a saw horse led me down a track and I made a jig to clamp my headstock to. I now have a cut headstock and I'm really happy with it. I know the design won't be everyone's cup of tea but I sure like it.
Here are some pics

Cheers,

Headstock shape looks cool Brian!

cheers,
Gav.

[lawry]

Yeah. That's a great shape. Even by itself it has attitude.

I thought of doing something like that for my RC-1 but, I wussed out, yours looks really cool.

Just a little teaser pic. I've been polishing the body today and will be starting to paint the neck today.

Hi all, when installing the bridge and saddle is there a ground wire that should be soldered to the post during installation? I just want to make sure before I go headlong into putting the posts in the body.

Cheers,
Brian

Yes, there should be a ground wire. You won't need to solder it to the post, but when you need to make sure it is in contact with the bridge post "socket" when you push it in. I had to strip an extra section of the wire on my Bigsby Thinline TL-1 to ensure contact.
