bubs_42 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Vintage Natural, I alway's wanted a Vintage Natural Standard... The Zandards that have been on the board look to yellow, it maybe the light or not. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/bubs_42/Rick-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyB Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 This morning I cleaned the binding channel and got the kahler patch flush with the rest of the top. Through all this stuff the serial and logo are still there. Now I just have to find time to veneer the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCR Greg Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I may have a factory unused veneer in my stash, call me today. I know that I have a few for Sunburst/Specials, so I might have one for a Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheThighs Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm getting the feeling this re-fin is gonna be bad-ass. Nice looking work so far. Any decision on the finish yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyB Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm getting the feeling this re-fin is gonna be bad-ass. Nice looking work so far. Any decision on the finish yet?Well I have two other cherry sunburst/59 burst Standards, so I think it's gonna be just ambered natural with a cherry back.

cornjulio Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Can't wait to see the next step! By no means would I've imagined what the guitar really looked like when I saw the auction but now I'm just curious what's coming out of that restauration work. Bonne chance!

BTMN Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 One of my favorite shades Hamer does. This is a 2001 Standard Custom. That is my Gloss Natural 2003 Dean Z Time Capsule in the first shot also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elduave Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Roy, that's great, inspiring work you're doing. Bubs, as for the Zander Standard color, it was spec'd to match the book pic, in which the guitar is patina'd, hence the yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyB Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well it's been some time since the last update, so it's new top time. Here is the body 100% ready for the new top. Next I made a poster board template to test fit around the neck. Next was to make an MDF clamping caul. I pre-glued two layers of veneer and jointed them. Then cut it slightly oversized. Last part for today is it all glued up using hide glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
