Tredding, your work is amazing. Love that body shape and color. Very unique but still very classic, and classy. I am in awe of the talent on this board.

Is that a US SD Curlee or the MIJ version? I think it's a really cool guitar, no matter.

the headstock decal says S.D.Curlee int'l, so i dont think it's made in usa, the only word i found on any part was "japan" on the inside of the tuners

friend brought it over for me to check out, the constuction was interesting enough for me to take it apart and while it was apart i went and drew up some blueprints

here's a link to a photobucket album of pics i took taking it apart

I guess it's a Hondo. I've played a couple of those back in the 80's, I really liked them and the construction is quite cool. I remember a US SD Curlee bass that had a non tapered neck, it felt awkward at first but once I got use to it it was great.

the hondos i've seen all say hondo on them, who knows, i'll set it up the best i can and give it back, theres a 3/8" space between the pickups and the strings

, i'll raise the pickups and see if it sounds any better

treddingjr · 10-25-2010, 01:15 PM

Done.

Compared to a 335 and a Les Paul.

RAHAZ · 10-25-2010, 02:41 PM

This came in today. A 16 year old kid brought it and asked me if I could refinish it and make it smell like new

When I opened the case it had that sweet, slightly musty smell that really old instruments get. It was beautiful.
After I explained to the kid what he had and that it was not a cheap beater, he agreed that it was not to be messed with. So it's just going to get a nice set-up.

Freddy G · 11-10-2010, 03:27 PM

This is on my workbench today. Can anyone guess what I'm building?
