Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
I like it!
Now off to the shop for a packet of jaffa's.
cheers, Mark.
Okay! The hardware is in. That said, the "Overlord of Music" bridge (who the hell came up with that?!) had its tuner's teflon spacers crack and fall out upon first string intall, rendering it nearly unusable. Without those spacers, the tuning pegs are impossible to fine tune, even with a screwdriver.
I have ordered an upgraded J-Custom tailpiece from Jeff Babicz' group, Headless USA. I'll keep you posted.
BTW - the depth in this finish is just crazy. It was a lesson in patience for sure, but sooooooooooo worth it.
Cheers!
Yup, exact same thing happened to me on my KH-1 build. You'll like the J-Custom bridge. It's worlds better. Take a look at their headpiece as well.
That really is a great-looking instrument. Nice work.
What Did You Play Today? ~PJS~
Build #1) KH-1 - November 2019 GOTM
I ended up getting the head piece, too. And you're right - I love it.
It even looks better.
