Grangur Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Just arrived on this thread and, as you havent started: If you want a split-coil tele-P pickup. Jess Loureiro would probably make one for you. He hand winds and his pups are amazing. http://jlguitars.eu/shop/index.php?id_product=25&controller=product&id_lang=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Finally got started on this build! I've filled all the old cavity holes just waiting for the glue to go off then I'll fill it with two pack then sand it all down lovely and flat The body is a slab body so I've got to do the belly and arm carves 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 It's now all filled and sanded, I like to put a coat of primer on so I can if there's any slumpage (I think that's a word 🤔 if it's not it should be !?!) But it looks like this had come out OK? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Two Three Yes, it's a word according to some dictionaries. It is mildly amusing to find that neither Oxford, Cambridge nor Collins online dictionaries seem to carry a definition of the word whilst happily promoting the use of amazeballs with impunity. Good grief. If you do get as far as the third link, there are a couple of interesting variations of the root word - slump 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoBass Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Which colour is it? I managed to find a BS reference that was almost identical to Capri Orange, yours looks very similar. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 I'm thinking of maybe incorporating a Jazz pickguard and control plate into this build? I would have to modify the shape slightly and alter the angle of the control plate but it will look along these lines not sure what colour pickguard? I'm thinking probably Black?....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the pickguard and control plate made out of one piece of polished and laquered brass? You could have it chromed if it didn't look right in brass. Hammered and laquered copper plate perhaps? Worrabout a textured chequer pattern on brass/copper/chrome plate? @Jabba_the_gut made a lovely control plate for one of his builds. That was brass to start off and he then had it chrome plated. His pick guard was made from the plastic cover of a note book. Boy did it look good, the textured black plastic pick guard with the chrome control plate.

Not really a fan of brass but chequer plate sounds like an idea! 🤔 All I'm worried about is the extra weight if it's chrome but I'll see if I can find plastic chequer plate..........

SpondonBassed Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 You'll soon be knocking out some industrial grade grooves with no fear of slippage at all. Trouble is, you'll be told to wear Toetectors by the safety elf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
