Operation JRM2 engaged

[KRamone27]

Kevin, I've been quietly following your project, and must tell you how nice it turned out: A hardtail Mark 1!

I don't know your name but thank you , I appreciate it. The body is a 66 Mosrite 12 string body that I bought on ebay about 1-1/2 years ago and almost sold it along with a bunch of other mosrite parts and I'm glad I didn't.

I just had to do something about that darn pick guard it was driving me crazy at the hack job I did on it. It didn't look right around the neck pickup ring, outside edges were wavy and just looked like crap so I built a new one. This one has cleaner edges and shielding and just looks better.

Looking good Kevin. Nice job.

Looking good Kevin. Nice job.

Thank you Danny. While I was making this one I was also making one for the other build and the side jack plate.

Must be a nice feeling when it's finally all come together Kevin, great! Does that tailstop require a third screw perhaps? (just my inquisitiveness, as always). It must be quite a challenge building your own guitar but then I'm sure it gives you a lot of pleasure too; the entire building process

[KRamone27]

Yeah, I haven't gotten around to it yet. But now that I'll be having more time that's on my to do list.

[GattonFan]

Glad to see you're back at it, Kev. That pickguard looks like it belongs - single ply? How thick?

[KRamone27]

Hey Dennis. Yes it's a single ply and it's .085" thick

[KRamone27]

I finally got time to get the fret and side markers installed and dressed. Next I'm going to finish the neck same as the body unless it sells by then.

I like your fingerboard Kevin...lots of 'life' in it...that variagated pattern/colour of the wood grain!
