StingRay gets a Do-Over!

reverendrally said:
looks great. what are gonna do about the decal for the headstock?

I'm actually going to call Ernie Ball Music Man and see if they'll send me a new one. I was considering having the pickup rewound and the preamp looked at, and they told me that 'as long as you have the original and/or the serial number, you're good'

I'll keep you guys posted!!!
 
time to start buffing! I found an old orbital automotive buffer, so that's what I use
