Daily Run Down, & Round Table-P/Us

[big_teee]

I think that is a good line of business. I have worked with several builders that I met at guitar shows. One of them ended up going back to his original supplier on price. He makes mid range archtop types and I couldn't get my P.A.F. price low enough for him. Still working with the other one kind of off and on, because the particular model I'm working with him on is pretty unusual and doesn't move fast. He is on the higher end, and makes all his bodies and necks and has some cool designs.

Just about any guitar shop will let you park your pickups on consignment.
That way he has nothing invested.
I have a few parked around.
Guys will see my parts then call me, or the guitar shop will have them call me.
I got a call friday from the guy I rewound the buckers for the Dean Vendetta Resurrection guitar.
It Sells for 499, and some guy wanted to buy it for 1200.
He wanted me to give him a statement that I reworked them.
I sent an email, and called it good.

Waiting list, does that mean your waiting for more names on the list?

That is kind of the deal I have with the recording studio. I have a display case with some examples parked there, but since they are custom models, the shop gets a commission on the referral, and sends the customer to me to make them. Now that I have a few stock models I need to park some of those over there that he can sell outright. But it is a pretty good drive over there, and I haven't gotten around to that. Another thing is most of their bands are metal types and my vintage models aren't that much in demand. I also have a music school over there that has said they would let me park some in their school too, but haven't built up the inventory to do that either.

I'm all caught up with most of my little pickup projects.
I've got some dead pine trees piled up, I need to burn.
Maybe I can get that done before I get busy again.
I'm curious about the plastic bobbins, I may order a half a dozen of those to play with.
You can buy the .195s from Mojo that are already beveled.
My wheels are still turning? lol

**I bid 801, anyone bid 802?

I'll bite. With over 800 posts, are we setting a record yet?

I may get back to buffing out my red guitar I painted tomorrow.

I received my B-Stock Rondo Strat Test Guitar today.
It is supposed to have some finish Blems, but I can't find them.
Pretty nice Ax for $69
The Parts are worth more than that.
I will test Righty Pick Guards with it until someone wants it more than Me!

The sad thing about buying any guitar from Rondo ,Well from Canada anyway is we have to pay about 85 bucks for shipping to get it here

You need to open the Canada Rondo Outlet.
Then you could rob your own hen house.
I think shipping was $18+.
It's going to make a good test guitar.
At that price if I scratch it or beat it around, no biggy!

My next tester will be for Jazzmaster pups ,Rondo don't carry on ,I don't think ? But I do have a guitar here that will work ,Not sure if that wacked out tremolo/bridge has positive influence on the tone

I will wedge the Tremelo on the RH Tester, and tighten the 6 screws.
Good enough for testing my Pick Guards.
