musecam123 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Wow Looks very nice! I love the in construction pictures too, I like seeing it all come together. Haven't looked through all the photos yet, but was masking tape all that was used to glue the aluminum to the sides? Also, what glue did you use for the aluminum?

james90 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Looks great! I've been following the build pictures on facebook the whole time What's the body made of on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampudd Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 very impressive work. Just out of interest, what are you using the three smaller knobs for? Obviously one will be tone, and Im assuming another is piezo blend? But what about the third... Also I didn't know allparts sold bloody HAP Gotoh tuners... I bought a set of the non HAP ones from mansons for eighty fucking quid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what glue did you use for the aluminum? just masking tape, and i used a glue called Gorilla glue, i think its water-based as it has no smell What's the body made of on this one? Poplar (tulipwood) very impressive work. Just out of interest, what are you using the three smaller knobs for? Obviously one will be tone, and Im assuming another is piezo blend? But what about the third... Also I didn't know allparts sold bloody HAP Gotoh tuners... I bought a set of the non HAP ones from mansons for eighty fucking quid... ouch. the 3 lower knobs i believe on the original are tone, Roland volume and piezo volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly. Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Don't put fret dots on it, looks frigging amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It looks like he was going for a spot on replica though, but it does look better without musecasters, are you going to relic this one a bit so it looks like Matt's currently does, or leave it like it is? Seeing as... I like how it looks now actually - the aluminum doesn't look too shiny, but not too dull... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampudd Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Where did you get the spoke nut truss rod attachment? The spoke nut hotrods from Stewmac are absolutely useless in that the spoke nut doesnt actually come off (despite the fact the instructions make out it needs to come off), the substance used to weld the spoke on in some cases spreads too far down the thread meaning you cant tighten it too far, and in one case, the nut was actually on at a slight angle...

zooropa1310 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 the last one i relic'd, this one will fade naturally I really cant tell the difference That looks PERFECT. So Kev, you CLEARLY have the skill for this. Are you just not that into it in terms of doing it for a job, or does your sign business just eat up all of your time?
