Ed Elliott, Step-by-Step Building of 4 Mosrite Custom Clones

[bluther]

Ed's build has helped me tremendously. Without it I would have had to guess at a lot of critical steps in my build. This kind of info is just not present anywhere else that I know of and it is very hard to find a real Mosrite in this part of the country to measure all the angles etc. accurately.

I've got tons more photo to share going to start putting them on soon.

MAN, I WANT TO SEE THAT!!!!!
Maybe some of those 70s Humbuckers???....hint, hint

Maybe Danny can split the photos into sections: Bodies, Necks, Finishing, Hardware, Pickups and Assembly. That way we can focus on one element without having to load all of the photos every time.

Just a thought.

Sorry Dub, I just saw your post. Nevermind.

...YUM, YUM...the cherry on the cake. I'm rubbing my hands together now in anticipation for what is yet to come!

This whole process has been like a kid in a kitchen, waiting for the cake to bake.

Problem is...I can't even lick the frosting.

Could I ask you something? it's about the filling before applying the collors and transparent finish, what are you using as sealer? I paint my own with nitrocellulosic lacquer and I'm never satisfied with the finishing, the grain of the wood allways come slightly apparent after some weeks/months, it make the guitar looking vintage though it 's just few days old...

Hello everyone!

Well I guess it's about time to post somemore photos of my project.
Where I left off back on page 1 was with rough tremelo castings.
Got some photos of tremelo machineing and polishing, guitar body wet
sanding, buffing, a bit of assembly and the finished product.

Stay Tuned, more photos to come!
