close-up of the fingerboard before sanding, it's glossy but not smooth at all...
Worked on the fingerboard for a few hours today and get the upper part polished to a satin finish, the epoxy at the end is a bit thin, another layer will be applied on the bottom part...which means the painful sanding have to start again.....ar.....

Fretless bass conversion + epoxy coating

Filling the slot, level the surface with 14"radius sander block.....

Carefully mixing a ratio of 3:1 of epoxy and hardener.........

Finally finished the back plate with transparent black acrylic sheets, looks great, feels good...still need some ideas for the battery cover plate..

cracked neck repaired...

glued and sanded flat, add a little oil and wax to the neck.

relic trial of fender squier

嘗試在一支fender squier 做relic，發覺在polyester body 上做relic 是一份苦事，的確不可能做到好似nitro lacquer 般的fade out 效果，不過在neck 及 pickguard 的relic 效果不錯..

a recent mod job that needs to enlarge the neck pocket in order to fit a new neck, it's a pretty simple job but requires accurate measurement and placement of the template(thanks Franky for providing the template^_^).

By the way, I'm planning to start a relic project, hoping to achieve results that close to Nash guitars....

這幾日的進度很慢，有很多細微步驟唔急得.....

1.將個POD 上落個body 度，發覺唔可以上得太緊，唔係會頂實d按鈕...

2.放pod 時發覺個位真係好細，剛剛好FIT 沒有餘下一點空位...

3.上NECK 後面的四粒FERRULE，激死，個平底鑽剛剛細了少少，諗了很久才搞得掂...

4.control plate 後沒有太多位，焊線及將control plate 上body 時要好小心....

現在差塊back plate 未搞....ar.....要休息一下先..

因這個body 是tele shape，所以保留了少少tele 味..hehe..

這幾日的progress:

1.上了conductive paint

2.修整了不夠位的地位，route 多少少邊

3.裝了tone, volume pot, LED, 3pdt switch

4.裝了pickup...用了兩隻yamaha cheap single coil 打孖上，無mud 特別，致在夠型...

Pocket Pod in guitar pocket---ultimate guitar for practise

Line 6 的 Pocket Pod 已經出了一段時間，到近期先忽發奇想有這個idea...

之前有諗過將自己部Korg Px5d 放入支結他，因為自己很懶，心想如果成功放部機入結他，練結他時只需用headphone就搞掂，又可以line-in 部MP3 jam 歌，不過Korg 部機d control 實在太複雜，打消了念頭..

後來比我諗起line 6 部Pocket POd，剛剛Tom lee 又做緊特價，$699 有部，而且個size 又ok，於是買黎進行這個project...

一開始計劃的時候就想到一個很大的問題：電力。嘗試開著部機玩，4舊AAA 電(6V)用唔夠3個鐘就玩完，點算？如果要長時間練歌或出show，突然無電係好大問題，用乾電好唔環保，但用濕電0下0下都要用火牛........諗來諗去終於比我諗到用搖控車電池，咁arm 有一排5舊的電池，又係6V，有成5000mA，估計應該可以用成日！

今日route 了電池及Pod PCB 的cavity，下一部要上conductive paint 做shielding，install 多一個電力開關及bypass switch，等我可以有時bypass 個effect，淨係出clean signal 出amp..
