Hello everyone
i really really want a special starfire long long time ago
and i have seen Carter Vintage Exchange 's selling a Starfire XII last month
so i get this guitar and start my "Project"
firstly , Carter Vintage Exchange's Starfire XII have a Non Original 12 string saddle and harmony style tailpiece , fender style knob [NO WAY!] and Seymour duacan pickup
i want to convert it to 6 strings , so i have to ready few things
a good build saddle [ Gotoh Japan]
a real guild knob, so i ordered some amber knob from offical
a bigsby [im bigsby fans]
the mini humbucker have great sound [seymour duncan] , im not gonna change it
i setup many many guitars
this one spend like 6 hours to finish setup
1.Fret level,
2. setup [pickups height, Saddle raddius, intonation, nut slotting]
3. adjust the truss rod
4. relic the knobs
5. make the Gotoh saddle fit the floating
6. remove the harmony 12 string tailpiece, fill back the extra screw hole , and fit the Bigsby b3
7. reglue the headstock plate lift off part
8 ah! i have to RELIC the bigsby black paint too, but still waiting the shipping item, so..
finally the result is perfect to me
next project i think is 12 string Bigsby, i have idea how to do it already ,let see!
thank you!
