| Nice birdseye on the neck. Can't wait to see your future updates. It's essential you take your time and don't rush. That's paying off on my build thus far. |

... thanks for the props (I think you're referencing me... see below...)
... I'm trying to figure out if I've forgotten something I'd promised, and I don't think so; is that me you're referencing as sending reflectors? If so, I'm unaware =]
Thought I'd get some clarification on that; are you talking about Scott(b5150)?
Cheers. |

| I will elaborate more when I update my build but I had to sand on the neck a bit too to get a tight & straight fit to start with, once I get it mounted I can adjust the pocket for the "loose fit" look......... |

wise thing to do my friend, get it put together first and then take it apart and start the painting/relicing process.... |

| I suggest you either print out scale shots of the front and back or scale them on the screen and take calipers and measure each stripe. My theory is that he used electrical tape for the first layer because they are all a bit different and ET being stretchy that would account for the variation. it also contours to the upper horn better. |

wolfensteine i understand that i am doing a complete build !!! then tearing it all back apart ,at that time is when i will start refinishing it, drilling all holes screwing everything together playing it set the action up , intonetion, then tear it apart and the fun will begin , i will take pictures of every step !!!!
YMI5150 i agree with you last one i did i used electrical tape , not to mention i think its the only thing u can use to get correct stripes on the horn cause it is stretchy !!!! thanks for the idea of scaleing them on my screen , and measure the rest of them good idea !! thanks ,mike |
