The UproariousRBG

Here’s a Re-imagination project we just finished. We took a 1972 Stella and turned it into a Rubber Bridge Guitar.

We pulled the original tiny frets, then added a 12″ radius to the fingerboard.  (Show of hands who knew that these catalog guitars had maple fingerboards hiding under the brown paint?)   Then we fit it with larger nickel frets that modern players prefer.

We added a K&K Pure Mini pickup attached to the soundboard under the rubber bridge saddle, and put in a split rail humbucker at the neck position.

A set of Stringjoy Signature 11’s make her “Uproarious!”

She’s finished in shellac.

She’s likely to hit the market next month.
