Postby mfdu » Thu Apr 05, 2007 10:35 am

i'm fixing up an SG short scale 4string, and need a few parts (it was stripped of neck screws and stuff by its previous family)

i'm having troubles finding the minor pieces i need. anyone got a tip on where i could track them down?

neck>head screws
neck nut
1 machine head

see? not much at all . . .

hope that helps.

Chris...try giving http://www.mumfordguitars.com.au a bell - he just restored my semi-acoustic 12 string for me and did a fantastic job. He seemed to have a little bit of everything on hand, including a spare piece of matching pickguard (very non-standard) to fix a hole on mine. Really nic bloke as well.

He's based in the country but comes into town regularly.
