I've been a little neglectful of this thread whilst being away this summer... but the project is complete!
Here's a few progress shots...
Body stripped and prepared:
Primed!
Looking waaaay too blue!
Ready for go faster stripes
Stripes done
Big chunk out of the fretboard...
Seamlessly repaired... i can't even find it in person. New frets whilst we're at it.
And here we go... she's done!
Here she is with my other recent acquisition... a 1967 Hofner!
I couldn't be happier... she sounds stunning and plays so well. The one I've been looking for for a long time! Going out for our first festival outing together tomorrow (Monday), if anyone is at Twinwood this weekend!
https://www.eternal-guitars.com/... I can't recommend Dave highly enough. We've had so many geeky chats about the minor details on this, and it's turned out better than i hoped. His own instruments are stunning too.
