This thing turned out beautiful. My thanks to Glade Rasmussen for his as always perfect fret job and final set up. Also to Adam Jackson my favorite wood worker in the world for adding the correct doweling to the body and real clay dots to the neck. A fine guitar is in the attention to detail and this one has it.
Body is a lightweight Alder finish with Valspar and McFadden’s Lacquers done by me.
Total Vintage 59 Roundback; compound radius neck with a Brazilian board on 1/4 sawn maple that wound up with a lot of nice flame. I lacquered the headstock and the end of the neck and oiled all the playing surface so it looks and feels like a vintage guitar.
Vintage clay dots added by Adam Jackson
1 5/8 non-bleached bone nut done by Glade Rasmussen.
6100 frets leveled and finished by Glade during final set up.
Callham H/SRV special wind Fralin pickups, RS Guitarworks 280K volume and audio taper tone pots with a Lux white phonebook cap.
Trem and saddle assembly are exact 59 repo's from the UK. I am going to change the block to a DeTemple this one is a little to dark for me.
Kluson Series II vintage repro inline tuners.
Beautiful dark Brazilian board with clay dots.
Every fret is finished perfectly.
Beautifully cut and finished bone nut.
I like these TonePros series II a lot.
