Steve "Buckocaster51" Dikkers THANK YOU!!
A little while ago I sent a hunk-o-pine and a neck out to my buddy Steve "Buckocaster51" Dikkers. You know this guy:

Congratulations, Arlo!

That thing is a stunner.

So after the excitement of seeing it for the first time it was time to get excited about what to put in it!

But first a few more pics of the fantastic paint job Steve did!



Your trademark checker board binding is outstanding Steve!



Even the King's outfit ain't that Gleemy!

Ok, so for parts I went with a set of "Titanium" Glendale saddles.





And a "TaipanTone" Half bridge. Brushed steel.

Lindy Fralin "Stock Tele" pickup.



"TaipanTone" Aluminum knobs custom made by my pal Vince Stadler. I also used a brushed steel neck plate from Vince as well.



All wired up with the "cocked wah mod" since I am doing the Esquire style. I really am digging the Esquire set up lately. Converted Ol' Piney over to an E too.

Thanks for the kind words Arlo.

It is a sickness.

Deep down in my soul.



I hope Buckaroo was one of the first things you played on it!
