Re: James’s indiscriminate resto cleanup thread
Removed phalanges from marmite spider and stripped the remainder of the finish off
Got bored with that and stained the headstock. Not an ideal colour but I’ll try get it darker.
Blood of my enemies etc
Went round me cousins place cuz he’s a builder and has mean glue and clamps (and I needed to get an old meat slicer going)
... aaaaand were back in one piece.
Stay tuned.

Re: James’s indiscriminate resto cleanup thread
Right, so: I couldn’t for the life of me sand the glue off. It set hard as fuck.
Had a bloke I know put it through a thicknesser - only half came out the other side
He’s managed to stick it back together in such a way that “there’s no way that fuckers comin apart again”; he is also priming it for me.
I mean - he’s got all the tools n shit and he’s happy to do it so rude not to eh?
More news when it’s back in the garage.

Re: James’s indiscriminate resto cleanup thread
bit of a bump
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: James’s indiscriminate resto cleanup thread
Right, got it back the other day primed with industrial grade joinery tier shit.
No idea where it came apart again - it has been repaired with tongue and groove so there’s no fuckin way it’ll break again.
Yes, there’s a hole that needs drilling again. Hit it with primer filler to try mitigate the super pebbly primer. Mostly worked.
This should do the trick.
Textured finish with the black over it. Kinda groovy.
And now we wait the 4 days for that to cure, then I can do the back.

Re: James’s indiscriminate resto cleanup thread
Paint is all cured and came up surprisingly good.
Will reassemble and set up once the bikes mostly dealt to - kinda worn out over the dot, ugh.
Decided to give it to a friend of mine; someone she knows has hodgkins (?) which is particularly nasty. The family are running a series of silent auctions so they can pay for this poor blokes treatment. He’s 27 (my age) and I think he’s just had his first shot of chemo.
It’s not much but it’s what I’ve got at the mo eh.

Re: James’s indiscriminate resto cleanup thread
Good on you for helping. Every little bit plus the act of kindness will mean a lot to them.

Possibly non-hodgkins lymphoma. A good mate at work had 3 episodes of it, sadly he's no longer with us.
Good on you for doing what you can to help.

Re: James’s indiscriminate resto cleanup thread
Couldn’t tell you what it is, but treatment for it is well into 6 figures. I mean I’d probably spend the sale price of it on booze anyway so ya know
