Sp8ctre and RVA's Guitar Adventure

[RVA]

As I've never done this before I'm not sure what I'm looking at. I'm guessing trying to high spots down again, this time from the fret and not the neck...

Yes, but they worked out OK. Now I am crowning

 

[RVA]

Taking shape

 

[RVA]

I have crowed thee!

Tomorrow, I work the fret ends some more and polish the frets. Then....the neck goes on!

 

[Sp8ctre]

Woo Hoo!

 

[eSGEe]

intercourse WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pardon my french but --- if it plays 1/10 as good as it looks ---that IS A KEEPER there Chris---- or send it to me

 

[RVA]

I am impatient. The neck is ready to go on.

 

[RVA]

Tuner is back where it belongs

 

[RVA]

A nice couple

 

[JohnnyGoo]

I polished and finished the fret filing, but getting strings vibrating on this guitar will require a fair amount more work.

[Sp8ctre]

Holy Shnikes!

That is beautiful work. Seriously well done. I was pretty well convinced that neck was going to end up a write-off, but you turned it around.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

^ it's not on and playing asitlooks yet, Don.

Certainly some excellent work by RVA, but the proof is in the pudding.

 

[DonP]

Well, it's straight and the frets are flat. It should be all downhill from there.

 

[RVA]

That is beautiful work. Seriously well done. I was pretty well convinced that neck was going to end up a write-off, but you turned it around.

Thank you Don. I have been looking forward to saying publicly that I attribute much of my knowlege and the confidence to endeavor into guitar repair to you. It has brought me much joy and I am eternally grateful. I will always consider you my mentor.

OK, no preliminary celebrating. Tonight we shall venture forward.

 

[Mr Grumpy]
