    @NancyJohnson I was curious about this - I found this discussion https://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=104873 - if you read down to "58", its stated that brass plates started in the 58 model and thus would not be present in his 57 model above (if they are trying for historical accuracy of course) - I've seen them on seventies models, but no later

    I couldn’t find one like that; instead I bought this asin: B075MHP2TF

    Sure but tips for not going wonky when drilling through First ? The string holes I have a bradawl so pilot holes not a problem

    @kodiakblair can you tell me the knack of getting the string thru holes even ? thanks

    I have, and I think they were steadily getting better from about 2005 - mid-to-late 90s was a bit duff, but then I owned Leigh Gordon's late 90s model (Morcheeba) and it was at least "okay" quality even then. I think they got an undeservedly bad press since 2000.

    That's pretty much consensus then, thanks all

    All; I’m aware that the sanding is a bit rough on the grain filler photo. I’ve not done graim filling before and I was foolish enough to take only a small piece of sandpaper to work. I’ll sand the grain filler sampler down a bit before I try sealer or paint this coming week: 1. sanding sealer on the sampler; assuming this will change the colour a bit based on something MGT wrote about clear coats on his site 2. Drill holes for neck plate, bridge, straplocks, rear pup wires. Ferrules and string thru holes might have to wait a bit until I can liaise with Norris 3. Blowing some paint onto the sealed and sanded grain filler on the stick weather permitting

    There is a picture of it in the gallery, also one with the neck (mighty mite) dry fitted so you can evaluate the gap. I’ve seen worse on fenders edit : and for two components coming from totally different directions it’s not too bad

    Bump some dark j and p plates left

    I had an rb45 - it was a good piece of kit

    pictures updated - if you click on them you see captions @Rikki_Sixx includes grain filler porn will be adding sanding sealer on Monday really wish I’d sanded the wood smooth First as its rough nature Is counter productive

    a few coats of blonde will be needed. I have doubts about how good the burst will be as the paint is quite thin as @Manton Customs noted
  24. Geek99
    will do, I learned a few vitally important lessons today never, ever do a spray test on scrap when 1) its even a little bit windy 2) you own a black car 3) you're late for work I do this stuff in my lunch break, if I have nothing better to do, so progress is sadly a bit slow.

    perhaps a link would help ?
