Fix, looks to me like you're one of those people who actually should give up his day job !

Superb work, you must be feeling very fulfilled.

Just like I want it. Thanks Tom..... we'll seal the details of the price next time we meet. :shock:
:lol:

Still at the same place waiting for the finish to cure somemore. I got a few pictures outside, shows the color nice. More later1

 

[Fixit]

Well it's been awhile! The finish has cured up well and the final wet sanding and buffing are complete. I've been busy with a lot of repairs lately but now have a little time for the SF. Here are a few pictures of the guitar after buffing, and a few more with the tuning machines installed. Things should move along pretty quick now. Enjoy!

I really appreciate your taking the time & effort to post this, thanks

Thanks, your welcome. I see you are in CT. I use to live in Mystic. Are you going to the factory tour at Guild in the fall? If so see you there.

That guitar's just beautiful Fixit, and I'd love to see it in the flesh. Any chance you can bring it to the factory tour?

I didn't know about the tour, but I'll look into it and be there! Did you used to work in Westerly?


edit: I just emailed Chazmo, If you'll have me, I'm there

Once in a while something here causes me to commit adultery in my heart, in spite of my complete satisfaction with my happy harem of 3.
That guitar is one of those things.
I hate you but thanks for posting! :lol:

[dapmdave]

Wow... it's looking great.

And, just in case anyone has forgotten the "before"

Dave :shock:

 

[coastie99]

Looking very fine Fix !

 

[bluesypicky]

That thing is gonna be hotter than the day she left the factory.... Can't wait to see it in the flesh!

Hello,

I hope everyone has been well. The last few evenings have afforded me a little time to work on the Starfire. Not much is left to do except a good setup. I am having a pickguard made by a gentleman I know, who has a laser engraving and cutting setup. I'm working with him on one that should look alot like the one you see on the bay. I didn't have much luck with the one on the bay, tried to get him to make one like I need, communications were a problem. Well with out further ado, let me show you where the project is at.

Getting close! Have a nice day! "I'll be back".

 

[RussB]

I'm luvin' it! 8)

 

[Fixit]

I know how much you like pictures, and I had a few more. Enjoy!

More soon.

Good work, fixit.
And natural light on the bench? What a luxury!

 

[adorshki]

God. Just leave it like that. 'At's as sexy as a Victoria's Secret model. You know, 'cause they're not completely naked but they're not completely dressed, either.

 

[Fixit]

I have to at least get her to where we can play together :wink: :wink: Might have to name her Victoria, she does look a little sultry. Kind of has a ring to it don't you think. We could have a vote, :idea: yea or nay :idea:
