On the plus side, The Bigsby is on , nice and straight thanks to a couple of bits of string, and I've even put the right neck on and quite beautiful it is too. I think I'll be using a lot more of Warmoth's necks in future, as this is peachy.
I also drilled the holes for the pots, switch and jack plus and fitted the scratchplates too, so all is looking pretty groovy.
And I was just about to drill the wee holes for the pickups (the Mojo Gold Foil Toasters are flat bottomed so that is all that is needed), when I thought I'd fit the leccy bobbins - which is where I discovered my mistake. I had ordered the wrong parts and they don't fit thru the top and give me enough room to put a nut on.
Harrowing.
Marc over in Mojo Pickups land is doing me a replacement loom, and I'll fit the pickups, but it was a tad on the deflating side of bugged, but I had vague hopes of playing the thing and that isn't going to happen.
Though saying that I could put the strings on and play it acousticalified, but it wouldn't feel the same, so I'll wait.
I have to say I am rather pleased with it so far though. Tres bon indeedy.
La la laaaa
