it came out real pretty
I tried to keep the original vibe but could not help changing a few things here and there.
Flipped the logo around, did not really like how it was before, only makes sense for guitars standing in a display :-)
The original bridge was not too bad but it cut into my hand when playing so I replaced it with a roller bridge.
Along the volume and tone knob, the third knob has a rotary switch with various caps to cut lows.
It plays surprisingly well. The neck, although I shaved quite a bit off, feels like half a tree trunk.
The trem has a tendency to not go back to place, creating slight tuning issues. Will see if I can improve that somehow.
The pickups are fairly weak and not really bright. But boosting the highs makes them come alive. Still deciding whether I leave them like that or try to rewind them. In the end, I don't want this guitar to sound like any other guitar I have.
It's definitely fun to play with and so light compared to my Jazzmaster :-)
