Well didn’t expect that 👇 this morning from #1 son….only thing it doesn’t fit in the cavity 🤬 it’s only 25mm wide where the pots including an earth wire soldered onto the pot side is 27 mm o/a. I know I could fit mini pots but as it being a gift I want to use it. I don’t have any wood working tools bar a drill so I’m thinking of using round flapper wheels obviously the body will be covered & a run off plate stuck onto the side I’m working on at a time, (just in case the drill slips) the flappers should do the trick
-
No worries give me a shout if you want some 👍
-
Cheers @Andyjr1515…..what plate would you go for the Bell or Tele like ?
-
Body’s dry now this Osmo oil is good stuff…expensive tho 23 odd quid for a 750 tin. I’ve got plenty left so if anybody fancied some give me a shout….anyway here’s the control covers. Away to give body another coat….by the way it’s 1101 oil I used
-
Body’s still a bit tacky after 3 coats of this oil stuff, should be fine tomorrow.
-
Well, being a tight Fifer I made two control plates up using 1.5 aluminium. One a standard bell plate & the other a Tele like version…I’ll probably go with the bell plate I think, dunno, not sure 🤔
-
First coat of Osmo oil/wax today. I noticed I’ve got a mark just at the back of the rear pickup which I did try to remove but got no place….could be a glue mark.
-
Are you doing that slurry method or just wiping it on ?
-
Hope it goes well for you, I’m not after a gloss finish either I’m sure the Osmo oil/wax leaves a satin finish. One thing I did buy a wee while ago for another project was scuff pads I went over the body with a 800 and it removed some hairy type bits no problem….🙂
-
What oil/finish you going for ?
-
Cheers for the feedback gents I’ll have a read up on your projects later on. The body’s even got the router hump near the neck pocket which I’ve never heard of before but it seems that was the thing away back then.

Took delivery of this guitarbuild Jazz body yesterday with a maple flame top & swamp ash. Really undecided on a finish except I’ll be using Osmo oil but not very sure how to go about sealing the swamp ash or if I need too. I’m after a natural finish really. The body’s a 60’s Jazz hence the hole emitted for the bridge wire.

@anzoid….the Wudtone finishing kit, how easy is it to apply & what stages are there ? Yeah I know there’s a web page but I’d rather read it with somebody 1st hand. Cracking build by the way & I’ll second you about Jasmine at guitarbuild 1st class
-
Nice one Paul cheers for that 👍
-
Did you get BassDirect fixed oot with your order Alain ? Was it a pulse II ?
-
That would be ideal Paul 👍 either from body to pickup or to underside/top of strings
-
Must all be practicing
-
Could some Spector gent give me pickup height for active EMG’s….there a P&J set. Either the height from under the strings or from the body. I’ve been told before but can’t remember Strongbows got a lot to answer for.

Due to ongoing hand issues I have my MIM Fender Precision in Sea Foam Green up for sale (2022). Kiogon loom, Aguilar 60’s pickups, Dunlop strap locks, Fender tug bar & tray, Gig bag & Weighs in at just under 4kg. Currently strung with EB Slinky Cobalt 45 to 105. For sale only really & don’t want to go down the courier route…but don’t mind a road trip within reason. I’ve added a specific trade + cash my way for a set of Frank Bello EMG active pickups or EMG PJX….must be solderless. Reduced price @ £650 -
Try 👇 instead of T-Cut, excellent stuff. I used it with a cheap & cheerful machine polisher from Argos. Think you can buy Spector crowns too
