Paging ICTGoober to the operating room,
Hi again. So I bought the cheap Allen Eden hardtail body. Nice weight, paint is reasonable, routing is not great on the inside and on one spot on the platform where the neck bolts. For ~$100 I don’t feel ripped off. It actually sounds pretty darn good.
Here’s the issue, on the platform where the neck bolts to, as mentioned above just cries out to be fixed. For a case like this, could one mask the back of the body, set the body so the orientation is perfectly level, sand a touch and fill with clear CA? It’s not too far off... so I’d think you might see a little variance if you look hard enough.. but it should feel right. Here the masking tape would be a dam to get the fill right then sanded square.
Thoughts? Thanks!
