The BarneyCaster-Parts

Well time to start showing the parts that will be going onto the BarneyCaster

I say this because the UPS truck finally found Byemoor(don't ask )

First off,Barney will need something to carry the BarneyCaster in

How about a nice black with red poodle interior Fender hard case 

 Lets check this out

 

Perfect fit

 What else is in the box?

Hmmm,Gotoh locking tuners

A new uncut nut 

Electrosocket and jack

Don't want that output jack coming loose

Vintage style round string tree

Just in case you decide to do some bending behind the nut 

 

 This brings us to the pickguard

So many options

I am sure black is the color but what about the style?

Single ply or black/white/black?

I can cut it like the one on the Fircaster?

Or we can go this style

                                                    Note the horn 

Decisions,decisions 

 

Well just checked on the Glendale website

Still saying May before they even start shipping

I am going to check out Callaham.They are highly recommended too

 

 

One thing I like about these is the two extra mounting holes in the front of the bridge

Can only make things better.I'm a thinking this may be the way to go

 Now just have to decide on the saddles

Regular compensated 

 

Or their new Enhanced 

 

 I have used similar cheaper saddles with good results

They are the same price.Guess it just comes down to looks 

 

Other than this I think everything is here or on the way

 

Got an e-mail from Kinman

Pickups are finished and on the way

 

 

 JUst got a call from DHL

Pickups are in

Woo-hoo 

 

Well looky whats in the box
