Hi folks,
it's been really long since i've posted. Still, that does not mean i am not doing any more modification etc! It's just that most are small scale repair jobs and i've been really busy with my band
RazzlePlay .I'm so glad my regular clients are so patience with me! Thanks peepz! You know who you are! :)
I wonder how many of you remembered this bigsby B5 installation?
After i've posted that blog, i received quite a number of emails asking me to install a B5 for them. I'll now take this opportunitity to announce again that i do not carry in any Bigsby product and as for that installation, my client provided the bridge he bought off ebay.
Anyway, he came back to me recently and this time round we worked on something better! Mother of Pearl Star Inlays! Some people emailed me before on what is the difference between a real inlay using plastic, shells and sticker "inlays". Inlays are nothing but decorative but having a decorative on your guitar that does not last can be really annoying. It is also a form of art pass down from skillful wood craftmans that served their king. A good inlay are one that have defined edges without excessively big routed slot and is completely flat and smooth with the wood beside it. Buying stickers to stick on the fingerboard will not be able to last a fraction of the actual inlay and when removing, it'll cause gooze to sip into the pores of the fingerboard. Yucks!
So here's some pictures to look at the result of his request.
(i fake an email that claimed i spoilt his fingerboard, i wish i could see his expression when he saw this picture! :P Don't worry, it's part of the inlaying process)
Here we go, the first star that shined!
There are more projects that i'll be posting, please be patience with me :)
