    Surf Strat

    Built a jig this afternoon to press in the machine head bushings. Total cost 70 cents. One quarter inch bolt, 2x washers, one nut and some scrap wood with a hole drilled through it.



    And a video of the jig. The vintage sized bushings are very tight..

    Update picture, quick mock build to check all ok..

    The tape is to hold in the pickguard and not an EVH effort

    looks great Ponch, what is the reverse headstock like with the longer run of the wound strings ?

    I reckon a EVH surf strat could look cool ? haha

    Are you putting a headstock logo on ? You know the judges will knock off a mark if there's no logo haha

    Feels a bit weird Woks. You don't have to bend strings so far on the treble side. As I'm a leftie in all but guitar playing the upside down machine heads feel normal!

    Decal, I'll end up veneering the headstock (to cover drill through better) so will wait until then.

    haha ok sounds good Ponch. I'm also a lefty but do many things right handed - guitar, scissors, golf/cricket bat (Mosrite haha) and PC mouse !

    look forward to seeing the headstock veneer
