• Glued and clamped together the body that was separating using wood glue.

• Cleaned and polished the frets using frine fret cleaning kit.

Project: Hail Mary.

This was a fun, inspirational mod project: taking this limited-edition black sparkle jazzmaster and making it worthy of the 11.9-light-year trip to Tau Ceti. With its new matching pickguard and modern appointments, it will have you saying, “Amaze.”
It’s time go 👎 iykyk.

Most importantly, this guitar is a reflection of someone very special in my life, constantly reminding me of their love for outer space and their childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. 👩‍🚀 🚀
