Longish post incoming -
After my last post yesterday, I painted the headstock on the Jackson neck (for the GSR) black to cover the logo up. Hopefully I'll get my own logo on soon, as soon as I figure out the cricut...
Apparently I never posted an update about the pickguard and pickup trim ring for the Cort, so here's those with the pickups mounted -
Also, rather than putting on another clear coat on the Cort, I decided to call it done and proceeded to sanding (320 > 400 > 600 > 800 > 1000). Then I mounted the pickguards (oh and the battery cover and neck plate I made) -
Mounting the bridge pickup was a little challenging, in terms of making sure it lined up, so I got kinda creative -
I think it worked out okay -
Mounted the tuning keys -
With the neck mounted, I lined up and mounted the bridge -
I've also mounted the jack but I didn't make the jack plate so no picture. I have conductive paint and a 3 way blade switch on the way - once those are in, I can shield the cavities and wire it up, then strings and see how it plays!
