First step is to do a bit of work on the neck, getting a protective build up on it before I start shaping it. The customer went with the Burdekin Plum fretboard, which was the darker, richer colour of the three. All were beautiful options, but I think he made a good choice for this build, it’s going to come up looking nice.
The next step is to position the controls and get everything measured out and in place. It’s nice to see it all starting to come together.
The Bigsby roller bridge will need to be lowered from where it is now. It’ll be a low sitting neck with a 3 degree neck angle. Plays some good slide guitar at the moment though. It’s looking quite Viking with those two horns…
