Neck rework, thin profile
INITIAL PICS
John decided that it feels a little thick for his tastes, so I plan
to reduced the back of the neck by a measure, to give him a slimmer profile
on the backside.
Next to Rob's OME
Back apart
I wanted some shots of it to see the fade as i had it before I have
to mess it all back up again!
Nothng like a belt sander to get things going!
No turning back now.
Profile reduced, ready for final shaping sanding
First Honey Amber tint wash.
Second, Golden Brown edge , handstop and heel fade
Third, Medium brown Full fade at heel and handstop
Taking on clear coats
Assembly
While I was buffing the neck, I decided to buff the resonator, I mean why not?
This is why...
Stepped too hard into the buffer and melted my finish on the side binding off.
I will try to overcome it, but it will mean a complete removal of both bindings and then recoloring them.
That wasn't something I was looking forward to, but " " Happens.
Now I tried a skin on it, didnt like the tone, went back to what
I do like on my Plectrums, and that is a Renesiannce.
I like the look feel and sound.
Pickholder reinstalled
Resonator reshaded to match new neck finish
Final pics
Setup sounds VG to me, John will check it himself in Eureka, we will
dial it in together.
