Piezo pickup

I bought these Piezos off ebay for £1, they should pick up the vibrations of the soundboard once installed inside the guitar. With the jack strap pin it will turn Goldie into a stealth electric guitar :)

New Tailpiece

Changed the rear section and drilled hole for jack strap pin, just holes for fixing screws

Tailpiece Jig

I've made a jig for the tailpiece, cut the bad out and inserted new.

Crack

Houston We Have A Sh#tload Of Problems

My nuts too small, the tailpiece has a crack, frets needed extra work, strings snapped with all the on and offness and machineheads pegs are loose. Sounds nice though.

Artist Impression

Tailpiece

I tacked the tailpiece together. Once it's fully welded it's gonna get polished to a mirror finish

Shabby Chic

Goldie told me to cover her in wood filler. While sanding it off she said STOP! All the parts with filler on will be covered with gold leaf as Goldie likes the shabby chic look.

Lemon Oil & The Talking Guitar

I've oiled the fretboard, it keeps sucking it up so I'll keep doing it daily until she tells me that's enough. I've noticed that while drinking wine with her she tells me things, like her name..
Goldie Horn.

Up or Down?

Like JB said
Get Up
He did say Get Down too mind...

Inlay Timelapse

Side Inlay

Side Inlays look nice, the third fret inlay is on an angle because of the chip. I quite like that though.

Fretboard Polish

After a polish working up to 2500 grit the fretboard has come up amazingly well.
Left the chip as is as it looks ok, the glue dried the colour of a turd.

New Inlay

Not Straight

Missing Piece

A bit is missing on the third fret. I've mixed up the dust from sanding using a clean piece of sandpaper with wood glue to make a nice pink coloured paste to fill the gap.
See what it's like in 24 hours.
