Kay Progress
I sprayed the neck this afternoon. I got the neck color right on with the original finish on the body.
Also, we’re stocked up on all sizes of black and grey T-shirts.
Some progress on this Kay re-neck. For hardware it’s getting a single C.A.R. mounted at the bridge, volume and tone control, custom pickguard, aluminum nut and bridge and Bigsby B-6 vibrato.
Summer Update
I made a new vibrato pattern for some builds I have coming up. I have a few extras that I put for sale on store here. I think they’re pretty sharp looking. You’ll need to shim the neck or cut the neck pocket at an angle when you build your body. I use a 3/4″ to 7/8″ bridge height.
Progress Picture
I’m getting close on a couple of Specials and these two 5 string mandolins. The finished one is my personal that I built while I had the Glenn Tarver Bigsby in the shop a few years back. I was lucky to have access to it for a month. I also had it X-rayed.
Check back in about a month for finished pictures.
Happy New Year.
