Now I'm restoring Mockingbird Tremolo with Japanese repair shop. It was modified by previous owner. The Synchronized Tremolo was changed to Floyd Rose, Pick ups might be changed from 3 single coils to 2 humbackers. It's OK to heavy metal player. But it had very dirty pickguard that someone changed later. This guitar had factory original pickguard. I decided to change the pickguard to beautiful figured maple. |
Woo, very ugly cavity.. It must be modified later... |
Very dirty solder works.. |
At first, we made rough master pickguard by paper because there is no real master. |
We had to change the curve to protect over routed cavity. |
This is wrong pickguard that was removed from the guitar. |
We made master by clear acrylic resin. Wow! very beautiful figured Maple! |
Rough cutting. |
2003/Feb/22. Just finished to route. |
