I'm clueless to what you're referring to, but whatever it is, I'm hoping for the best for you...OK, big update today! I still can't go into details, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train.

Worthy of Prince!!! The Mad Cat tele's got nothing on this one! Thought of a name yet, Ray?
Ramo suggested this one, now didn't he?A good use for a Telecaster
For legal reasons, I've had to keep silent for the past 3 years. In 30 days or so, the gag will come off.I'm clueless to what you're referring to, but whatever it is, I'm hoping for the best for you...![]()

There seems to be some very light chipping off on the leftmost portion of the second picture and a little rolling around the same area of the third picture. But then, they're really big close-ups, so not really sure how bad those would actually look and affect performance.So Anyway...
I hammered this blade through a piece of 1/4" brass rod. Can you see any damage?

This is the current plan! I am just going to wait for better weather as my garage shop can get cold.....Alder for back and any of the two Walnuts for a top!

There seems to be some very light chipping off on the leftmost portion of the second picture and a little rolling around the same area of the third picture.
Bottomline, the edge looks basically intact and sharp... REAL sharp.No chipping at all. There is a very small depression that could be a roll or the start of a very small chip.
The pedals got here first. They feel neglected!A...PP_P__p--p_ PEDAL? bb -B--but you h-h-have a K-KEMPER
I been cranking the VOLUME on my 69 Plexi ...................
