OK so I'm close to have sanded the whole body down to some nice wood and I've plugged the holes.
I also received some parts from brandoni. It's not unlike they told me original. The arm doesn't look the same at all and the screw for the arm didn't fit.
I found an original english sized screw and managed to get the arm on.
The knobs I bought from brandoni look original but don't the pots who are on the guitar at the moment....
here is everything "together", with a jazz bridge in the TOM timbles.
And I have installed the replacement middle pickupl kindly donated by knpknpknp. Thanks again!
Al together it doesn't look as well as I thought to me at this point, so I'll probaby going to make a new pickguard or stain/colour the body.
Lol maybe it needs spitfire tort? and maybe firebird pickups?
