Cool HSS set. Vintage specs singles and alnico 8 medium output humbucker. I didnt have experience with pairing singles and humbucker. So I called local hairy metal guy. Answer was simple: I gave it. Make favorite humbucker and classic singles. It will be fine.

I took this old project and try to finish it. It is pitty that I haven't any bass for complete only.

One new set :) I waiting for fully recover my leg and then I will work on new instruments. I have in queue one shortscale project, one 5 strings for me and 2 modern style guitars.

Today I tested yesterdays work. It was been tested by my brother, an excellent guitar player and really critic person in good way :D. He said that it can be better (as always) but it play quite good. Hotter side of strat.

Leg is still broken. So I try new discipline for me.

Thank you both :) I think that my "tru oil" mix (have two recipes, one contains more varnish than oil, second more oil than varnish) can be suited on this well. Only add mineral spirit for thinner mixture. Must try that on some scrape. What about future maintenance? Must be oiled with classic...

Interesting headstock joint. It is simpler than scarf joint, what about its strenght? There will be plate over?

One is enough for 2 basses with 21 frets. First rule, not drill much deep. Second use fret pliers for cut it as close as possible to surface

Fretwork on PRS SE. Not good fretwork from factory, some dents from strings and tragic fret material. Now it will be better I think.

I know that most of you are probably from US but I will try it :). Have somebody experience with Nitorlack water based finish? Nitoraqua Lacquer | guitar paint NitorLACK

Quick question, i wouldn't create new topic. Carbon reinforcement rod vs. screw on bolt on neck. Can I route them full length and no scare about placement rods through them?
