2018.3.3: I bought another one from the guy who gave me the blue Talbot, lol.
I would have gone through with a regular red Talbot, but the maple fretboard models are rarely available and he was very flexible on the price...
Except for the arm being non-genuine and the lack of a back panel, it looks like it will only require light cleaning work.
2018.3.24: I was thinking that changing the bridge to satin black pegs and cosmo black MG-T and knobs from stock Talbot to SCUD metal short knobs cosmo black would give a cooler impression
2018.4.26: Purchased the missing back panel and screws from Secret Factory.
2018.7.23: The block size of the bridge was not correct, so I went back to stock for other parts while I was at it.
2018.9:I was able to do what I wanted to do with the blue Talbot, so I sold this one.
The neck was fine as long as it was thicker than the blue one, but the shape of the neck became painful after holding it for a long time and it didn't work well with me.
It seems to have gone overseas.
Thats pretty cool, thanks for sharing, I have a talbo 1983 body, no neck and no bridge, I bought the Wilkinson VS100N for it but the bridge posts are obviously too big for the holes on the body, do you know what screws would fit a 1983 Talbo SSS model?
It seems that only a special bridge can be installed on an '83 body. When bodies from that time are restored in Japan, I think the bridge specifications are modified to suit modern standards.
