Something different for me - a scratchplate!

Post by demonx » Thu Nov 19, 2015 3:19 pm

A while back there was a thread where Simso and myself were discussing scratchplates, this is the guitar I was making at the time of that discussion.

This was a bit of a drawn out build as it's a "stock" guitar in the background of customer orders, so it took no priority and was a case of "it''ll get done when it gets done" and well, here it is!

Multiple setbacks included breaking the scratchplate and having to reorder new stock.
Both the neck and body were painted twice due to a few trials and them not being "up to par".
Ordering right handed tuners as opposed to the left handed it needed for the reverse headstock.

Other than that it was a pretty smooth build which now just needs to find it's new home!

Thanks. It plays even better than it looks!

The bridge is a Hipshot. They are a very "popular" bridge at the moment.

It's a hardtail stringthru, so ferrules are also required in the rear of the guitar.

Love the birdseye fretboard, rest of the guitar looks good too.
