 |
| The 'Live Aid' Rossi special is taking shape in Tony's workshop.. | .. note the amazing attention to detail as the body is being constructed out of three pieces of Swamp Ash sized exactly as per the real thing! | The guitar body is routed.
|
 |
 |
 |
| The 'Live Aid' body... front.. | .. and back. | The body is now in sealer. |
 |
 |
 |
| Tony gets to work on shaping the neck. | No CNC cutters here.. | |
 |
 |
 |
| ... its all done the traditional way... | ... by hand! | One beautifully shaped neck! |
 |
 |
 |
| And from the front. | Tony's able assistant Izzy! | The 'Live Aid' body is looking good! |
 |
 |
 |
| No lacquer has been
applied at this point.
|
Contrast the routings on this body to those
for the Lace Sensor configuration.

A close-up shot of the bridge pickup and plate. This particular pickup is an original 1958! Note how the red tape has been added to replicate the detail of the original pickup on Francis's guitar! |
 |
 |
 |
| The neck pickup is also an original pickup from the 50s, and the above picture shows the back of the unit. | The body has now been relic'd.. | .. front and back. |
 |
 |
 |
| A close-up shot of the detail on the back of the body. | Another angle, every mark has been faithfully replicated. | And shown with the scratch-plate. |
 |
 |
 |
| Again from another angle.
|
At the time of Live Aid the neck was displaying a series of wear marks. Once again, Tony has exactly replicated every mark! Amazing stuff! | |
