PaulThePlug Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) So after the failed 'Dip' i've sanded back and gone for Natural in Danish oil. Unfortunatly there is still a little white primer in the grain... but had enough of sanding... As the saying goes 'Close Enough For Jazz...' Jazz body with Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage Alnico P and J Pickups wired with a @KiOgon VBT loom... wearing Adagio flats...

PaulThePlug Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) So with a bit of a truss rod tweak a few hours after re-assembley all seems OK... Only checked it out thru a Zoom B1On in SVT Amp/Cab SIM... Sounds as warm as the weather! Maple Neck and a bit of the J added to the P makes for a bit more lively sound than the P Bitsa with a Rosewood Fretboard and a Pickup out of an SX? (thanks to @Rumple) not sure how the SX Pickup rates, or if Ceramic compare to the Alnico Magnets of the Kent Armstrongs etc... Quite unique looking, and sounding good for £200ish... although I wasted 6 Months and another £50ish on Primer, Paint 'n Sanding Paper! - Oh well Live 'n Learn... Spose if the Dip came out OK it would of been worth it! Edited June 20, 2022 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kent Armstrong will be much better, The KA hot P pickup is a good one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
