All; I’m aware that the sanding is a bit rough on the grain filler photo. I’ve not done graim filling before and I was foolish enough to take only a small piece of sandpaper to work. I’ll sand the grain filler sampler down a bit before I try sealer or paint this coming week: 1. sanding sealer on the sampler; assuming this will change the colour a bit based on something MGT wrote about clear coats on his site 2. Drill holes for neck plate, bridge, straplocks, rear pup wires. Ferrules and string thru holes might have to wait a bit until I can liaise with Norris 3. Blowing some paint onto the sealed and sanded grain filler on the stick weather permitting

There is a picture of it in the gallery, also one with the neck (mighty mite) dry fitted so you can evaluate the gap. I’ve seen worse on fenders edit : and for two components coming from totally different directions it’s not too bad

Awesome for about the last decade

I had an rb45 - it was a good piece of kit

pictures updated - if you click on them you see captions @Rikki_Sixx includes grain filler porn will be adding sanding sealer on Monday really wish I’d sanded the wood smooth First as its rough nature Is counter productive

YES @Rikki_Sixx I scored some cheap Geddy Lee pickups on ebay

I’ve got one in my car from the same supplier @Norris if you want a look

a few coats of blonde will be needed. I have doubts about how good the burst will be as the paint is quite thin as @Manton Customs noted

will do, I learned a few vitally important lessons today never, ever do a spray test on scrap when 1) its even a little bit windy 2) you own a black car 3) you're late for work I do this stuff in my lunch break, if I have nothing better to do, so progress is sadly a bit slow.

perhaps a link would help ?

Updates: the body is very very light and the neck pocket is a perfect fit for a mighty mite neck I’ve tried a single squirt on the scrap wood and the jury is out- time poor today and very windy Teak grain filler arrived Tugbar arrived sanding sealer arrived Have kind offer of pillar drill services for string through and ferrules next: neck plate screw holes a spray test on the scrap to see if I can do a blonde burst, then prototype grain fill and sand seal bridge placement pin placement

as did I

mining, scientific experiments, clearing chimneys and stealing from houses?

I’ve got a scrap piece of wood to try it on today

Nor me - saw a clip once and thought “occasionally amusing American sitcom .. ho hum”

you're right, as Homer (Simpson) said, "if its hard, its just not worth doing"

Squier VM J or P would get my vote.
