Tyler’caster Part Four
Parts have arrived! I went with Callaham vintage hardware all the way around. I’m really stoked on the quality of the stuff they sent me. The bridge plate is actually a NOS bridge that I relic’d myself. I use the muratic acid technique, leaving it sit in a tupperware box for about 4 hours. I took it out, and it did exactly what I wanted, tarnished the outer metal and added some brown dark spots all over. I then put the bridge in another plastic box, and taped it shut with screws, coins and some small rocks I found in our driveway. After 15 minutes on air-fluff in our dryer, this is what I got.
Tomorrow, I’m heading down to Nashville to assemble the guitar with James Hedges. Pickups are Lollar 52′ on the bridge and a stock Fender single up front. Here are some other pics of the guitar, pre-assembly. Please excuse the poor quality of my macbook isight.
