Autumn 2025 project starts here.

I liking the reverse P plan. I genuinely don't know why Fender (and nearly everyone else) have persevered so long with it the 'wrong' way round.

Painting is done.  Slight scar from the outline of bridge pickup, but it's fine.

And there was me, thinking it was going to be a harpsichord 

 

Should be good!

It is - the Schaller allows fine intonation adjustments of the gut strings

he will use grolsch washers on the strap buttons as it the traditional way, around these parts

A less than usual glamour shot.  Been a bit busy ripping out a downstairs loo and workshop full of said rooms new fittings, so I'm limited to doing small stuff on the ironing board at the moment.

 

Pickguard should be here tomorrow.  Machines are installed.  Neck is (like the other), great quality.  Profile is chunky.  It will need oiling and ill probably sand off the finish on the back of the neck.

 

Once the plate is here, I'll do final measurements afore routing out the pickup cavity.  The guard isn't white.
