19 Nov 2006.                                      SG DONE!!

I was beginning to think this one was jinxed..LOL!! After getting the rub down done a week or so ago I spilled thinners on it & had to rescue the bottom side & top. I was moderately successful. You will probably pick up the patch on the back since it was affected most.

Here are the specs:

Warmoth Neck:     Mahogany with Rosewood fingerboard

Scale:                     24 ¾”

Body:                      Myrtle

Tuners:                  Schaller, locking

Pickups Neck:      DiMarzio PAF Pro DP151

Bridge:                   DiMarzio  PAF Pro DP151

Bridge, Tailpiece:  Gotoh tune-O-matic. TonePros locking tailpiece Studs

Strap pins:             Schaller Strap Lock

Wiring:                    1 vol (treble roll off) 2 tone. Coil cut. 3 way P/U Selector

Finish Neck:           Water-soluble dye stains on timber, then 'hard’ shellac. Satin finish as per p64 Polishers’ Handbook. Headstock rubbed to    gloss.

Body:                        Feast Watson Proof Tint - Red - in 'hard' shellac then sprayed with nitrocellulose lacquer. Rubbed to gloss.

Here are the photos:

I used it at a wallpaper jazz gig this afternoon & it was fine.  Rolled off a fair bit of treble & it was sweet!!

Of course it just rocks on "Highway to Hell"  LOL!!

This finish is an improvement over the finish on the LPS (even though the flame is more eye catching) probably because  I had a better idea of what I was trying to achieve. ( No Rub Throughs)!! I hope I can take the CS336 a step further. Should be  soon now.

My soldering is still rough as guts,...but hey..it's sticking!!

CYA
