Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I asked a friend for ideas for how to reshape the headstock of my PB50. He suggested using an angle grinder with a velcro sanding pad and various grades of abrasive. I would never have thought of this and had no idea of how well it would work, but as he had the necessary tools and offered to do the job, I took the neck over to his place yesterday and he had a go. I think it came out really well. I just need to do a bit of hand sanding and it will be ready for refinishing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 I used a superfine sanding pad to remove the remaining parts of of the logo. This came off easily and the face of the headstock still has a complete layer of the original thin finish, so it won't need any additional finishing before applying a waterslide decal. I have ordered a new decal from voodoo decals in Portugal. He doesn't have any harley benton ones so I had to order a Fender Precsion bass (1957 style) one instead!

Bigguy2017 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Stick a walnut truss rod plug in there too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 good idea. If I can find something cheaper than the Fender ones I might do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
