@bart-van-der-kemp I was thinking about this. I still don't know the value of the guitar. If it's not a relic I will do the over hang and not bother with this. But if it is a relic then I don't want t...

I get your point, let’s hope it is not a vintage Les Paul. But a refret is needed, those frets look like small strips. Good luck!

Top guitar has got to be a Strat....... I am quite happy to have some of the variations - I do fancy building a SuperStrat, possibly masquerading as an Exotica..... Three pickups, possibly EMGs SA/SA...

@russ I like any that don't fall into the sound hole of my acoustic and refuse to come out again!!
