Location: New Hampshire, USA | So what did you think of that professional clear coat finish? :D
And out of curiosity - why did you remove the tuners from the white headstock? Just for cleaning, or do you have better tuners to use?
Edit to add: Never mind - I see now that they were black, and the chrome would look better. |

Location: Upper Left USA | The professional clearcoat was sprayed over the scrathes that should have been sanded out :rolleyes:
I removed the tuners and gave the neck a coat of the same finish on the body so they'll match. I will also reapply the logo and put the black tuners back on, plus one from the bin.
Except for the refinish it should be a Stock early Breadwinner, serial number E00750. |

I had to spray a finish coat over the body and then the neck so that they were uniform in color. My White Body had a few dings that I filled.
The Wood body will be sanded/scraped down and brought back to life but without the original electronics. I have a Midi Boost kit and maybe a set of Single Coils.
The Seymour Duncan Five/Two's with the 4 way switch were pretty snappy! |

That's what I need, one of those output jack mount plates.
Nice job Woody.

I'll testify to that. The set in the Telemonster you did are pretty sweet. I'm having too much fun with it (when I'm actually awake and able to play at all that is). |

My problem now is that the Buyer is quoting USPS Priority Mail for a medium Flatrate Box...
