What's on your work bench?

Guitar officially 2 gram lighter after Rounding the fretboard. Didn't realise it was growing hair as well

Phwoar, I usually have to set my amp for hair and you've got it falling off your fretboard

I installed some 1978 Maxon U1000 pickups in my Greco today (same pickup as Ibanez Super 70), and also changed the wiring to something a bit more interesting.

Instead of the usual vol and tone for each pup like the classic LP setup, I've wired it so now it's:

Volume for neck
Volume for bridge
Master treble cut (bridge tone)
Master bass cut (neck tone)

Surprisingly useful.

Nice body shape too! Very 7-string metal! Are the dyes imported powder or liquid?

Thanks, these dyes were mixed from powder

Finally got around to fitting proper frets on the maton:)

Suspect a new nut will be required.

Only needs a nut if the old one is too low - the frets were tiny and now its got jumbos

yep needed a new nut a zero fret at the first fret is not a good idea!

Not on mine. This needs a full overhaul to bring it back to its former glory (if there ever was any). It is a No. 4.

BG's work bench has first right of refusal. Shipping to BG on me.

If it goes to anyone else then shipping costs are yours.

Ooh thanks muchly, I will take if that’s ok, I’ve a box of spares which may come in handy!

I got a No.3 recently which is very cool now it’s refurnished.

I need to post pics of my current hoard! As waiting until I’d made a till!

Be gone white shiny plastic dots. Made new dots with Fimo clay - Sand. Drilled the mould into 5 mm steel. Turned out mostly good, but I don't recommend using fimo - as you sand everything flat the "clay" holds onto fragments and colours the dot further. Or maybe let the Fimo harden even more (post oven baking), to get really hard. Maybe a month or two.

Still looks a mile better than the cheap looking dots prior.
