Old/New

Postby SHAKEY » Thu May 22, 2014 5:04 pm

I built this guitar back in April 1989 as a college project (job restart thingy,) it sat for years in the bogey hole of my brothers flat (which is another story.) Any way after spending a lot of time and money I have rebuilt it and this is it. John Davis saw this when it was a Black pull release thing with 3+3 which worked really well but I thought it was time for an update. I shall of course stick a video on youtube as soon as I can. final pic is next.

Yes Tony I wondered if anyone would notice that, It's actually a temporary fret board until I get my new one from Tom Bradshaw. Maybe I should leave it. HHHHMMMMM!!!!!!!
