    Been slack updating but service/mods have been coming in so builds and the rest have slowed up.
    Missed off a couple of the Teles that've been through a fair while back, @ThePrettyDamned nice Thinline and one with TVJs and more orange than an actual orange.
    Apologies for poor phone pics taken by a poor photographer..

    And a custom-spec neck for @SnazzyGeezer ;, the neck is flamed but doesn't show at all (phone pics again), it'll show itself when lacquered

    Just because I really like ageing hardware, a bridge with metric comp'd saddles altered to take vintage fat-head screws

    And a new harness install and refret in 6000 size for @BluesyDave on his rather lovely CIJ Tele, sounds great too





    ^^that shadow's not my hand, honest!

    Excellent fret job from Bill on my MIJ Tele Special.  The guitar plays and feels great.  Can thoroughly recommend Bill's services and the Jescar 6000 frets.  The new harness came from 'Charles Guitars', standard 3 way switch and CTS pots.

    Many thanks Bill.
    No Darling....I've had that ages.

    Had a good lot of mod/service type things in lately with 9 due in but thankfully spread out, so not much building been going on but back on it very soon.

    @monquixote's nicely battle-scarred Strat, routed & converted to HSH. I love that thing!
    Also did a bit to a Bullet converting to string-through bridge and pickup swaps but pic fail on that one. That thing plays really well considering it's price.

    Another one of @guitarmangler's Lead II's, refretted with 6000 Evo gold and routed from 1PU with a new pickguard




    Others include a brand new imported CS Strat with a pickup DOA... Dean Caddy, was never keen on these looking at pics but in meatworld it's very nice to play and well made. Also a Hagstrom Super Swede with a hefty ski-ramp at the neck join

    Also been working on illuminated side markers (not retrofit) with a guitar builder mate, with adjustable brightness. I've taken apart one of my personal builds to be a smoking beagle for a full build trial.

    Always beats me why makers release a nice guitar and then cheap out somewhere on it, like the plastic nuts Gibson use and the collapsing bridge studs on the MiM Tele. It's work though so I shouldn't complain..

    Strikes me that, just within our actively-posting members here, there's enough range of quality guitars being built (and re-built) to satisfy most of our GAS for the mid/top end market for pretty much all time.

    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Nothing very exciting, just binned three of the brass shielding plates + glazier points that give partial shielding, fully shielded & linked all cavities instead, and changed the grounding to suit.

    Not like the mod we did on mine then...where you made the volume pot actually work ;)
