Rondos SX line. SJM, now called 'Liquid' in the new models.

problems.
strings didn't line up over pups.. bridge wrong, too..
pup routes wrong in guard..
and guard was ugly white.. did nothing for the green guitar color.

Had only a little snakeskin left but I figured out a way to cut the piece up so it would fit.

Now. you can take the lower portion of the guard off to get at the electronics and not have to take off the strings..

Wilkenson pup in bridge.. new electronics. grover tuners.. roller trees..
did a fix on the whammy.. it was clicking metal to metal.. quiet now.
Guitar sounds great.. plays really nice.. and I now like the color just fine!

You can see the tape on the bit that was missing.. I have to make a better piece for this, this is just a prototype piece..

here's the missing spot

Here's the temporary fix

You wont know it's a patch when I'm done.
