Project SB-2nd-Chance

Time to get started on Project SB-2nd-Chance. First thing: see what’s goin’ on in the electronics. Of course there’s a crap ton of dust, with bonus points for being caked all over those pots. Helps seal in the tone, right? ; ) I’ll give it some love then

Project Fake Broadcaster

About a month ago I posted about starting Project Fake Broadcaster. Well, there was a problem that I have been too embarrassed to admit. After I posted about my sweet new project, I was informed that the Broadcaster body is actually a customer...

Project Fake Broadcaster-1

1986 Invader-1

Leo’s own Broadcaster pickups-1

Darragh has just installed washers and a truss rod bullet

I’m kind of stressing right now. Darragh has just installed washers and a truss rod bullet. Now we find out how “real” this neck is for Project Fake Broadcaster.

found these old guys for Project Fake Broadcaster

Darragh asked me what tuners to install. Uh...yeah...need to deal with that. So I got dusty and found these old guys for Project Fake Broadcaster.

The truss rod is moving freely and the neck is responding well

So far so good! The truss rod is moving freely and the neck is responding well. Darragh has removed the finish from the frets and tomorrow he’ll mask it up for the actual fret work.
