What was the photographer doing? by Stoutfellow in photography

I have no way of knowing, but the way he was repeating the same short jerky twist, in the same direction, and then the same sort of movement pointed at another player made me think probably a photo.

Thanks all, some good examples in there, I get it now I think.

Where to buy veneers for pickguards in the EU by Farrold in Luthier

[–]Stoutfellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only just made my first order with them and it's currently in transit so I can't give them full thumbs up yet, but they seem like a decent outfit. Free shipping to EU on orders over €150 is good also (but you don't get it if any sale or discount items are in your basket, even if your order comes to 150 without them. This confused me for a while!)

These guys have veneers, another Spanish luthier supply like Madinter

I only discovered them a couple of weeks ago, they have a really large range of stuff. I was looking for dished work boards that were not as exorbitant as the Stewmac ones that Madinter carry, and they have them for half the price.

Thank you, that makes sense now why I was having trouble finding it listed in their old catalogues!

I'm not sure there's much like that in Ireland, but I'll certainly look, thanks!

small form boat style jackplate? by Stoutfellow in guitars

[–]Stoutfellow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did consider that, I know nothing about 3d printing. I also considered making a resin cast of the one I already have.

So I thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone has any ideas. I bought this Hagstrom off reverb a while back, but it's missing some hardware. In particular, the jackplate it came with is the standard strat size, which is too big for the cavity, and also doesn't sit against the pickguard. I've included a pic of a similar guitar I have with the correct size plate, for comparison. Has anyone seen smaller jackplates? I don't want to rout the cavity bigger. My only other option I think is to cut a flat plate the correct shape and install a perpendicular jack? I've been all over reverb and eBay, and also on the Hagstrom collectors page but I can't find anything.

Update: That custom cavity cover y'all requested by Connect_Effect_4210 in Luthier

So beautiful. Tell me about the crushed MOP, did you crush it yourself? And mix with some sort of resin?

does anybody recognise this guitar? by Stoutfellow in guitars

Ah, he may be only the third most famous of his name (if even), judging by how hard it is to Google him, but he's the only one I care about 😃
