Palm Pedal Partscaster!

RichardWitt · February 10th, 2008, 04:05 AM

Hey y'all!
Just got back from a week long holiday.
While I was on holiday I picked up a Tele body and neck from a new supplier I was put onto by Telechaser.

I had just about everything else in parts lying around, so I thought as a way of relaxation, I built myself a partscaster.

The Palm pedal is taking some getting used to, but it's a lot of fun learning!

Hey mate. Looks good. The palm pedal thing looks interesting. Did you get the tuners from NC guitars as well?

I might get a maple/rosewood neck (pots, switch, bridge, etc as well) from them as soon as I get the Thinline body I got from eBay.

The tuners I got from eBay (Klusons). They didn't fit the holes on the headstock. I ended up drilling the holes out to fit the Klusons. I'm guessing that the holes are metric?

The body and neck feel fantastic! I put one coat of Danish Oil over the body just to keep the grubby marks off the body, but I think I will go with a solid colour somewhere down the line?

I checked out the rosewood necks. I was thinking of one myself for another partscaster, but I didn't like the look of the fretboard. Very dry looking, but with some oil it'd come up a treat!

The pickup came from NC guitars aswell. It's slightly overwound. I'm thinking that I'll change the wiring to an Esquire configuration later on?
