Home Straight Home

Well, back from Holiday-Camp-Hell it is immediately into the final days of bratski holibob, err, Hades and the only thing on the agenda that is likely to happen, is for the rest of the parts to arrive for mar lasses' Lightning Dragon, as that just-has-to-be-done before the week is over.

Left to do on the finish is the addition of red spots/splodges and some golden forks of lightning. These we're cutting from vinyl and then dusting with a lacquer cloud for goodly measurement.

The scratchplate is going to be smothered with gold leaf. I'd got some 24 karat left so that is cool McChilly.

Pickup-wise, I remembered a Catswhisker hand wound PAF 'bucker I'd got in a drawer from somewhere or other, so that is getting a golden can to live in, and should look good and sound pukka.

Other than that it is all Wilkinson tuners and steel blocked trem, with matchingly glistery strap pins and string trees too.

All of which is pretty groovy if you wear shades.



Of course, the parts aren't here yet in the most case, but fingers crissed and all that.

No pressure.
No pressure at all, at all.

La la laaaa
