hooglebug Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 side is off again. cut the neck pocket - sooo carefully - and the shitting mirror cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I like how modest you are on here compared to Facebook Nah, but really, that's no good. The neck pocket has to be cut after the mirror goes on? Also, not to sound like I'm concerned about the weight of a guitar, but would you say this one is going to be really heavy with the mirror etc? I've never had a full mirror wrap before.

hooglebug Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 doesn't have to be, but its just easier to line the neck up with the edge. and now I'm going to have to put it on after so... ugh so annoying. I was going to do some long thin slots to get the weight down a bit anyway. i'll do them from the back and stop a few mm before it goes all the way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Why does no one sell nickel or x-gold gotoh parts but gotoh japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They do, just have to know who/how to ask. Gotoh dealers can order the parts in when they restock, so takes time but you can get them. Have you got 'the catalogue'?

hooglebug Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I've got a catalogue, but I don't know how old it is. unless you're talking about something else, in which case no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Just the Gotoh with the parts numbers for all the stuff. I'm pretty sure you can special order at WD for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 them, but with the small buttons. that's what I normally get. its just really expensive getting them one set at a time from japan. I've found a nickel bridge over here, but no x-gold. the plan originally was to have nickel parts with gold higlights - saddles, screws, washers etc. then I could use the opposite ones on another. but I'm not too sure how that would look. I am liking the look of those worn gold ones, but you can only get the tuners in that finish. which is a bugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has all separate parts available to order, but I'm not sure how much cheaper it would be to order from Japan to Canada to UK, but it's probably a bit easier http://www.japarts.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 that's just it. by the time it gets here with greedy customs its probably about the same. I don't know. i'll have to see what it looks like and decide whats going to suit it. I just covered the top in superglue so when that's dry it'll give an idea of what it'll look like with some finish on - the plan is some amber and a slight red burst, but really really subtle, but it'll give an idea to start with anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
