Paint Job ~ Dirty Thirty

Posted by Uncle John on May 19, 2014 at 11:30am
I built Dirty Thirty with the license plate all rusty. Over time, I decided to paint it. I like it better and that is what counts.I redid the nut with a wide spaced thread screw. Dang, two of the strings buzzed. An easy fix was 2 small nails as string 'guides' above the nut.Not a lot of acoustic volume, but plays nice and sounds good acoustic or plugged in. Fretless and GDGB. I can use a slide and/or do some simple finger chords.

    I agree on not cutting the old plates.

    Oh yeah.  You re-found this one after the plate was painted and the 4 string conversion.  Yup on the prices of old plates.   I did cut into this one for the pup - but prefer not to cut the plates on the old ones.

    This is cool, have you priced plates that old now days? There not cheap.

    Looks great John. I'm currently putting a license plate git together, but I'm having some teething troubles, you could say!
