slyd Well, a little while back, I said I would share the pics of this refurb job. It's a 1961 Italian EKO model 400 v2. This looked to be a fun job, so I made sure I had the camera handy at all times. Commentary is on the pics themselves, so I'll let them tell the story . . . . . Lotsa pics! 8) Still busy with her, but this is where I am so far. . . Phew, so many links to copy . . . ☹ Will continue shortly, . . . just gotta make lunch . . . ?
Chocklit_Thunda Hey man, how does that trem work? I'm thinking of building one and that design seems cool ?
Wizard Vague guess: Is the bridge not perhaps on backwards? Are the intonation screws perhaps supposed to be on the other side?
slyd Wizard wrote Vague guess: Is the bridge not perhaps on backwards? Are the intonation screws perhaps supposed to be on the other side? My thoughts entirely , . . . I checked out a coupley hundred pics of these guitars, and there was no definitive assembly diagram. Some had the screws on the neck-side, and others on the tail-side. Obviously, this one needs the screws to be coming out on the tail side, to allow dropping of the bridge assy. Upon reassembling the bridge and saddle assy after cleaning, I reversed the saddles to allow the screws to face the tail, not the neck. We'll see how it all comes together 8) Right, a coupley more pics . . ..
slyd Okay . . .. Got time to upload some more . . . . . Been working on this project in-between other jobs, always excited to get back to it ?
slyd Allrighty then, . . . movin' on . .. . Back to the tuners !! ??? . . . . . moving on , . . .. ? . . .
slyd Right, the pics have finally caught up to where I am now with this job . . . :? At the stage where I am about to begin re-assembly . . . .whooo-hoooo :dance:
