Detroit Stars #2 is done, pending further adjustments after playing it for a while.
This build fought me hard. This has a blend pot for the bridge Area T and StewMac P90. So fussy wiring by my own choice. I had to flip the bridge pickup polarity. The Intonation refused to dial in. Frets buzzed and needed leveling. I Broke three high E strings getting the set up done. It seems to be settling down but I need a break. Let’s see if this thing can get through a gig!

Detroit Stars Jr. #2. One coat of lacquer done. Five or six more to go. Using the Preval sprayers recommended by Dan Erlewine. Much easier than firing up the compressor.

More progress on the Detroit Stars Jr. project. The pickguard template has been made and a prototype cut. After a bunch of trial and error, making pickguard templates and custom pickguards from scratch is now a satisfying part of the build process.

Back in the shop after some road tripping. Following the steps in Dan Erlewine’s book on guitar finishing to do a variation on a TV yellow finish for this commission. Start with a white wash. The final color coat will be light gray, with a special piece of art on top.
More to come.

The custom LP Jr project progresses. Added a German carve. I also put the pieces together to make sure the dogear pickup fit properly with the bridge and bolt-on neck. Miracles do happen. It worked! Now comes the hard part: A custom finish and a stencil. Stay tuned.
