I did make the edges a bit softer but not as much as it looks.
I'm still not done with the clear and it needs a level/crown but I didn't know what the neck was gonna do with strings on it.
I've had it for. . . awhile, and I don't know how long it had been disassembled before that. I considered going with another color due to its battle scars but I realized its never gonna be new again. Its a rescue. And when you get it just right, the grain really pops.
I have a couple of projects that are strung up for evaluation so I figured this should be no exception.
I gotta say, one CS was bad enough. Now I gots two!!
The main difference between this and my CS Deluxe is how/where the neck joins. This one ('81) ends up being about a fret further out than the ('84) Deluxe.
I got a bunch of honest guitar tools for Christmas and this is gonna be my guinea pig.
