The “Inspector” guitar tribute build

[Don O]

Would those green key tuners be the same green key tuners that were sent to Robert from @kevinpaul

I thought he put those on a different Gibson, but I can’t remember which one. It’s probably contained in an old thread.

Here’s the yellow Strat and Mustang laminated to the back cover. Still need to trim it a bit. The last item to do is the water slide headstock decal.

Finally looked that up. From June 2019.

I still get choked up thinking about Rob.

Well I finished the project today with the headstock logo. A laser printer does not print white so I chose a bright yellow. Does not display very well though. I also added this little Easter egg on the back. It’s what he has on the back of the yellow Strat.









The guitar is now heading north to Porterville CA. That is where Nita, his mom, lives. I spoke with her the other day to let her know she has a Christmas present heading her way. This guitar will mean far more to her than to me. It was a pleasure to finish this for him and now give it to his mom.

Just more proof that this forum has heart. Really nice job sir.

 

[Don O]

Oh crap, I just realized I didn’t put the WH strap buttons on ! And, note to self, record a clip of it.

 

[Don O]

Yes, it setup pretty well. I need to record a clip before I send it.

 

[DirtySteve]

Very cool, Don!

OK, now I’m done. Test fitted into a Gator case for the journey north.
