Here’s are some photos of a recent customer project.
For more details, you can read about the full project here.
-
- The remains of the original neck
-
- New 5 string peghead copied from original
-
- BAck strapping also inspired by Gibson banjo mandolins
-
- I cut a fleur de lis inlay for the fifth fret, to continue the peghead theme. Note ols five star planetary fifth tuner, I wish they still made these, they where great.
-
- Fingerboard overhang was designed to echo the mandolin fingerboard.
-
- Heelcap is based on 5-string Mastertone lines. Note original Gibson label still in pot.
-
- Original inlays transferred – a painstaking task as they were all cracked 🙂
