ambient Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I’m quite pleased with the results. I’ve never considered myself much of a handyman before. The last time I tried to solder I burned myself and the carpet. My dad usually keeps his DIY tools locked away, out of my reach. He’s away on holiday though, and I know where he keeps the key. 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 An interesting solution, what problem is it solving? The scratch plate (if you envisage having one) construction should be trivial based on progress so far:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that you're going to fill those holes in with cement before you gig the Instrument? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimalkin Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It's a pickup joint guitar. Unfortunately done in the wrong order... Supposed to reward yourself after you've done the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
