Goodtime mods

From August on 3/3/2011 9:25:16 AM

 I've modified one Goodtime so the only original part is the neck and turned another one into a fretless.

Playing fretless must be pretty tricky. I'm still trying to play well with frets without making anyone bleed from the ears.

Fretless is tricky but fun, it's good to be able to go back and forth.

Did you make the neck? Funny how when your practicing everyone leaves the room. My wife sticks me in the basement.

For the fretless I didn't make the neck (never have made one). I had the pot from my first Goodtime that I had replaced with one of Dan Pennington's pots, bought a Goodtime neck (possibly a second?) from a hangout member, pulled the frets, put them together, sanded everything down, stained it all with what turned out to be a kind of strange brown stain (which looked sort of old), added parts that I had around and spent about a month tweaking everything. Sounds pretty good now.
