I've been thinking about it for a while and I decided now (because I don't have an acoustic at the moment) it was a good time to put together a Harmony Monterey like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker used at Newport.
I bought a Monterey Archtop as a base in the same finish. Now I need to finish it off. I basically need a replacement strap button for the bottom, a strip of binding for the neck and a pickup.
Anyone know the exact model pickup used, I'm sure it's a De'Armond of some kind?
Also anyone know a good place in London to get the binding on the neck repaired?
Is there anywhere that sells the same strap buttons online?
I know everyone loves pictures so here is one I quickly snapped on my phone, I'll get a better one when it's all done.
