ptm1diver Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 From a pile of parts to as close a replica as possible of Johnny Winter’s white Lazer guitar (no star stickers yet, still looking). Shannon Huss at H. E. L. Guitars went above and beyond. It was great meeting up with Shannon yesterday. I even left him more work to do. A Luthier’s job is never done. Thank you my friend.

Steve Haynie Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 That tailpiece with the tuners looks like an impossible part to ever find if you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I saw some on the HEL guitars Facebook page. I love looking at repair progress pictures, so I get notified every time BCR, HEL, or many others post things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dave Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Interesting looking guitar. The tailpiece reminds me a bit of the tailpiece on the 'Status' Headless Bass range, only a bit more complex looking https://duckduckgo.com/?q=status+headless+bass&atb=v169-1&iax=images&ia=images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-easy, barely an inconvenience. Just google "wraptail to headless conversion" and let the hilarity ensue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A machine shop could make any of those parts, especially once you have the originals, as he does, to copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 And yet a run of sustain blocks keeps eluding us Hamer nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Very cool guitar! What a relief...when I saw 'Lazer' in the title, I was afraid it was gonna be a Peavey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
