Hurrahhh!!! FINALLY!!! Managed to source some in Europe, 2 different suppliers too!!!

The project is now off the back-burner...I'll keep the pics coming!!

Mark

Hi Colin, thanks for the advice...you would think there would be someone for sure, but I've drawn a blank at every turn!!

Do Ric use ABS now or are they still using celluloid?

Mark

Hi folks, not been in for a while, and still my search for white celluloid has proved to be fruitless!!!
Therefore, I have decided to bite the bullet and use ABS instead.
To recap, I've already applied celluloid checkerboard binding, so my question is: what's the best way to glue the ABS to the ...

Great stuff Dom, probably the most versatile sounding Ric on the planet!!!:)

Glad it's gone back together successfully Dom...looking forward to seeing the pics!

You're probably spot on there CJ...getting me thinking a little, just need an explosion-proof lock-up now!!

Yeah, I could become the sole UK distributor of celluloid binding...now there's a thought!

Hi Jeffrey, I'm not sure what they use as standard on new build instruments, but as I'm using celluloid checkerboard, I'd prefer to stick to the same material if possible for the outer binding...the annoying thing is that I could buy a ton of the stuff from China, but it would literally have to be a ...

I'm having major hassle getting hold of white celluloid binding here in the UK. I need some for my 360 resto project, but seem to be drawing a blank. I obtained my checkerboard from Shellex in Germany, but the other binding they sell is ivory not white, also it's only 6mm high, needs to be 7mm ...

If only the previous owner of this guitar had thought about using double sided tape, it'd have saved me a heap of trouble, but never mind...

Acquired a mint plexi TRC today to replace the original raised letter TRC...a good day's work in itself!!

I can't wait to see how this one pans out Dom, you're a braver man than I, but I reckon it'll look cool!!

Thanks Dom! The holes have been put there by the previous owner who installed a Roland Midi pickup to the guitar (I know, unbelievable eh?)...I'm going to have to plug them with maple... fortunately, I have a lump of maple that is exactly the right shade, I don't want to have the plugs too big ...

Hi guys, made a bit of progress this week...had to make up some cement with acetone and celluloid scraps (white Fender picks!!), and I've managed to get the checkerboard fixed to the body. Just waiting for a consignment of white celluloid binding to arrive, then I can finish off the body!

Great looking project Dom...looking forward to seeing plenty of pictures along the way!!
