NTL Shop haps, Kev's Floyd'd Sunburst Pictorial

[murkat]

Kevin had this listed for sale, no takers, too bad. It rocked. Now it really Rocks.

He wanted the frets replaced with Jumbos,

with the fret ends to the end of the finger board, binding, ( aka Jackson style).

Not an easy thing to do since the edges are now rounded, rolled.

But, can be done with time and patients....

A few concernes to the body binding, delamination, recessing, finish bumps and scarring, etc.

All taken cared for.

Oh, and a WCR Custom Murkat special pup....

The perfect marriage of beauty and brawn.

TY everyone.

cloudy, overcast day...

So I did not get the full effect of the maple top popping out in waves

After repairing & filling some body dings, binding miss haps, etc.

Then wet sanded and buffed and polished, man, it really popped.

maybe a shot or two during the sunset.... mmmmm....

[mail4kev]

I'll let you keep it till you manage to get good pics of it.

Excellent work as always Jay.

Killer.

[Scottcrud]

That's great!

[tbonesullivan]

looks awesome! and i'm sure it plays awesome.

Would it have been easier to have the frets cut back just a little from the edge? I've never had a guitar refretted, so I'm ignorant about these things. I know that standard procedure when refretting a bound neck where the binding is added after the frets is to shave off the nibs and extend the fret over the binding, like I believe Martin Guitars does.

" Would it have been easier to have the frets cut back just a little from the edge?"

I recieve requests to do what was applied. No diff from Kev on this one.

frets to the end, almost straight up, the rounded.

widens the feel.

for whatever reason that they requested it to be for.

I prefer them to the edge myself. I just hate when they are over beveled. Just me, and if Jackson USA, and other great builders do it... Then they must agree. I always find myself widening string spacing when given the chance (i.e. new nut, or saddles). Then again, I'm nearly 6'6", and have longer fingers I suppose.
