"Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"

 

Kids need to play, Dave.

Mine are stock but will eventually get the treatment. I have one 60's pickup and will either cover the other or cover a TB plus and use it instead. I have a couple beautiful tail pieces that Bill had done, but I'll probably save Scott's bridges for later because the stock ones are great. Scott will be providing the pick guards though! New pots, jack, and cap should round it out just fine!

 Mine is already rewired with new pots and a Lull pickup............My first project. 
Custom PG in the works, I've been taking pics along the way.

I'll probably get new pots and jack and reposition the pots. (and jack)  May get one of those pickguards too!

I've toyed with the idea of sticking a mudbucker in mine right behind the neck (or close to it). Always wondered about a mudbird ... But I'm in no rush to do it.

I like the shape of the Bach pickguard better than the original. More organic to the shape of the body.

Don't forget that my Peter Cook is technically a "mud-bird" now... sounds wonderful, but I don't have the speaker setup yet to run at full throttle, yet...

I finally got a reply from Roman that said "We have no one in left . They are in our produce plan".
So it looks like I'm on the books for run #3. I did ask if he would do them in Cardinal red or Cherry. 

this is what happens when you get on the bus late I guess.

Or maybe an extra Artec at the neck?

I think it's a little bit too small.
Plus it is cut a bit to tight round the neck. It curls up a bit.

And for those who plan on converting it into a NR Tbird IV; the BaCH pickguard gets in the way of the second pickup. You'd need to cut away some of the pointy thing.

At least it looks like you're on the bus and there will be a next stop.

BaCH may have been concerned at first whether these would really sell. I'm glad they sold out, that lets them know that there is potential for small runs of offbeat models.

We may have started a little cottage industry for them.  Now....about that Embassy idea...   

[Dave W]

Maybe they will offer it with an integral counterweight on the lower strap pin.

 I'm glad they sold out, ........

I guess it works out well for me really. Means I wont be under any pressure getting funds together. I'm a patient man. Whish that damn Melody Maker would hurry up and lob.

Is that a technical term Rob? 

[Basvarken]

Something more creative please! A third strap button close to where the controls are situated from which a leather strap will go straight to your right leg ankle and fastened there. Voilà! Bass stays in place. And with some practice of your leg, you'll be able to do all kinds of fancy dance moves with the Embassy.
