NOTAM: Our target for today

[Reeltarded]

Gretsched fingerboard.. the foot for the extension has cupped and the board needs to slide aboit the width of a needle. This requires a heat lamp, some shades, a couple shims, a couple clamps.

timer just kicked brb

[Reeltarded]

Clamped

Nifty idea with the heat lamp - Are you just softening the glue and reclamping? Or are you wicking glue into the extension?

[Reeltarded]

Only heated enough to make the glue budge. When a spit dab evaporates in 4-5 seconds. That is a technical measurement.

[beasleybodyshop]

so when the glue cools down, it reseats the tongue? I always thought you had to reglue those things with fresh glue once you broke the bond.

[Reeltarded]

PING!! File's done!

Nope. Heat reactivates hide glues and polymers of all kinds.

poifect!

[beasleybodyshop]

Right on

how long did you set it under that heat lamp?

[Reeltarded]

4 second spit evaporation.. 14m40s

[eniam rognab]

nobody uses those frets anyway, just for show i guess

looks good, shiny

[Reeltarded]

And a new arm for Sparky

Welding rod...

[HeeBGB]

Could..a...we have more pictures of Sparky please? And of the Gretsch if it not too much trouble?

[Reeltarded]

Yahsur

Sparky but the lighting vs this camera really sucks lemme see if I can rep the beating this thing has taken.

This guitar's purpose has been closing shows with a Day of the Eagle/Too Rollin' Stoned or very rarely Watchtower. I got pissed off at a publisher and kicked it across a studio once and sob spun a thousand times before it busted a baseboard loose. haw!! I used to have a pretty good temper.

Never too far from the tree. We're all real lucky nothin's fallen off of me.

I have not yet kicked this guitar into another dimension, yet. First time for everything though? Ehh dunno.

Gretsches are Retsches. I wish it had filtertrons. the tailpiece is a work of art and the tiny ruby at the arrow point on the knobs makes you feel pretty and glitter and unicorns and rainbows shoot out your ass.

[Reeltarded]

Checking is massive. Natural light shows it well.

[Reeltarded]

60 refin body with replacement neck.

Take a vote. Have original dupont LPB, Sherwood, Sonic, Daphne, Shoreline, and OTM. Sonic and. Sherwood look very good under a green guard.

Have reds too. No.

In other news I need 3 black bobbin pickups. I lost the set. Trade PAFs.
