Thread: Andrews prs

  1. #1
    Hey guys. Here she is. I'll do some investigative work tonight with a damp cloth to see if there are any glue spots. First impressions, the cap looks real nice, only one scuff mark on the horn. My only major concern is that the truss rod has broken away from the glue in the channel and it almost falls out. You can push it back in though.

    looks nice the cap Andrew good score mate. Did you put an allen key in the truss rod slot to see if its still tensioned ? I've had this happen to a LP neck and it pushed back in and is fine.
    Thought you would have given it the damp cloth 1st thing, fingers crossed the glue isn't too bad on the cap !

    I might in a sec actually. My wife brought it into work for me. I'll keep you posted. Hoping it just doesn't spin in circles.

    Nice cap on this one mate. What was the problem with it again?

    nice work mate. Yeah I'd test the truss rod and get a damp cloth on the cap, bit worried about any darker areas may be glue but could be darker parts of the cap too

    Yeah, check that truss rod doesn't spin freely asap. The only reason I can think of it moving that much is it's not attached at the other end.

    Alright, so I pushed the rod in til it butted against the end of the channel and dialed in a bit of relief and she is stuck good and solid. Might just be when the neck approaches straightness that it can slide around a bit. Here is the cap. Glueless apart from one tiny bit where the veneer is holy due to the spalt and the glue has come to the top.

    Hows' the neck fit in the pocket nice and tight ?

    Yeah it's nice mate. Truthfully, my wife coerced me into getting this kit to build and sell to fund pickups for the ib7 that's coming. After seeing that it's 24 frets and pretty clean, I'm in 2 minds. Maybe if I sell the lp I just finished and the candy thinline Tele haha.

    yeah I'd be keeping the PRS kit for sure. What stain colour you got planned ? It would look pretty awesome with just clear coats !
