@koendb but it would have looked a bit nicer if that one came in a bit more from the center. You could plug the hole and drill again where you wnt it. If you don't move it too far, the washer will c...

It’s on the bench again, ready for level sanding. After sanding flat, I’ll clear coat it again. Attachment : 3D50CD34-818D-49BF-A4B6-E984A3FE4C7C.jpeg Attachment : B7FDCF2A-431B-4882-94BB-...

I also got this pink Strat sanded flat to 5000g, ready for buffing. This is how it looks at that stage, just before buffing. Attachment : 6ABBAAD8-3FB8-446F-BC23-CC867DC9860E.jpeg Attachmen...

And then I did some buffing with the machine that @darrenking made. Attachment : CB43CBDB-0926-4229-B023-847758F13215.jpeg Attachment : B177CAF4-D931-4D90-BB81-085E543FDC48.jpeg Atta...

@russ Thanks, I hope so. I’ll box it up soon and get it on a plane back to Utah, USA. I’ll get my mate to take some pictures of when he has built it all up and when he hands it over to her. It’s a ple...

Here’s a flyover to show the reflection.

After spending an hour or so on the buffer @darrenking made, I got it looking pretty good I think. One tip I will give is that you need to stay away from the edges and keep the guitar moving constantl...

Right, I know a lot of these pictures may look the same but they are not, I assure you. I’m adding to the timeline to document all the stages. It’s all very tedious, I know, but I’m putting a lot of i...

@Rocknroller912 Thanks for that - sounds like a plan - I wondered about heat to soften glue but as you say as the bridge is not being reused then carefully remove/destroy………..

@frocesterbill Repairs like this are mostly what I do rather than new builds, so here is my suggestion although I’m open to being told I’m wrong. Recently I’ve done two bridge removals one for the loc...

My acoustic has a problem - there are two splits in the bridge at either end and in front of the saddle. The guitar is an Ashton, Australian make, China built. It was a 50th birthday present from the...

I'm glad it got to you. I've got no idea where I plucked the wrong address from. I wonder who's address that is then. @robin It was actually quite similar and one that people have said before. It hap...

What size nozzle do you have on your spray gun for clear lacquer? @darrenking Hi Darren, I use a 1.3mm tip with matching needle and air cap. 1.2mm and 1.4mm are acceptable too but make sure you have ...

Hi @boo What size nozzle do you have on your spray gun for clear lacquer? Cheers Darren

@boo I'm glad it got to you. I've got no idea where I plucked the wrong address from. I wonder who's address that is then.

@robin Just so you know Robin, you got the address wrong but my name and post code were correct so it got here. 😁🤘 Thanks again.

These arrived today in the post. Thanks very much @robin much appreciated. I’ll get it built up as soon as I’ve flow coated the paint job and polished it. Attachment : 006037F1-BA23-4046-8A67-838...
