Cheers Dave.
Ya see that's the beauty of doing video demo's.
You can display to your colleagues how to do it wrong!.

cheers, Mark.

Being wrong something I'm rather an expert at just ask Mrs DK

Tis a very nice demo though and given the mangling that YT does the tone is excellent

[caseyone1]

IT has the perfect tone for that song, it really sounds good. Actually I hear a bit of Mossy in the tone come to think of it (Breakfast at Sweethearts.)

[king casey]

Thanks Dave and Casey.

I record the guitar with a JVC camera and the guitar going into one of these...



...and then into Sonar.

I then us Movavi to edit the 2 together.

So youtube ... bring it ON!!!

cheers, Mark.

I have some nice Shadow patches on my Boss Katana 50 mk2. I'll have to brush up and do a demo too!

As Build no:2 has reached completion.
...and no:1 is in hiatus awaiting finalising fretboard radius.
My attention is now back on no:3.
Call it OCD or whatever but I am not satisfied that the dimensions are not a standard Tele.
Therefore, I am going to take the next colour change opportunity to put this right.
The white pick-guard is standard issue Telecaster and the control plate/bridge assembly as you can see is out.


It will mean some more sanding and wood surgery.
Also have a 22 fret Kmise tele neck coming.
Undecided about the colour so far.

cheers, Mark.

[king casey]

Hardware removed and re-positioned in the 'correct' place.
Looks like some routing and hole fillling is in the offing.


cheers, Mark.

Nice job on the string Thru! I love the colour scheme on this one.

[king casey]

?? cheers, standby for a change.

The Kmise neck 22 fret neck arrived.
I'll probably add a few mm to the butt end to bring the scale length forward.



Still contemplating possibly fitting a Trem-King to it.

cheers, Mark.

[king casey]

Ah nothing like a fresh packet of dowels.
6mm this time.


To plug the mis-placed string through holes.


cheers, Mark.

[king casey]

Now have it in standard Telecaster scale.
If I do go ahead and install a Trem-King it will mean gouging out all the dowelling work that I just completed.



I still have some pickup cavity routing to complete.

I think I'll stick with RED, however a standard candy apple version as opposed to the darker.

cheers, Mark.
