The frets were leveled and dressed in the neck jig. Also the disconnected pickup jack was removed and replaced with StewMac's "NoJak" endpin.
I really dig the comfort of this body shape and size.

1966 Gibson B-25 Natural in the neck jig for a fret level, crown and polish. There were some high frets that were interfering with capo-playing on the 4th and 5th fret.

1966 Vox Bobcat [4.9 lbs] :: missing tuners ... and everything else
This 3 pickup 335-style guitar is a "husk-only" project (no parts). The owner was initially looking to restore this guitar but is working out a deal to trade for a Vox Lynx body (same guitar, 2 pickups). We decided to just install new tuners at this time. Glad to find that Grover Sta-Tite tuners install with no major modifications required other than slight reaming to fit the press-in bushings on the face and tightening the fit of the mounting screws.
