mellons Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) better day yesterday- made a mess of a molly keyless the previous night during a transplant and to calm myself took out an older jackson case to work on. I had thouht shape was gone but the more i worked on it the better it became: so salvaged it! worked it up and it will now be a "slim" 6152/1 build- overal height approx. 15.5mm. If i get a southy or athaya one-piece low bezel i will shave 0.5mm off this! ingredients: older jackson case (reshaped and drilled for crown tube)- lugs to be drilled for older (slimmer) necky compression-fit bars (future mod) jackson CG sterilised with athaya lever installed: pin mod epoxied in place (rock solid "clunky"- best action yet) oakabum brass crown tube and crown solid plexi - necky 6mm taken down to 4mm approx (retained shallow outer curvature) stock bezel (tried silix but this looks better for now)- to be replaced with low-profile shallow one piece (future mod) dsn flat engraved solid caseback (1.7mm visible iir) shape turned out well but for next one i will try proper shape: will leave lugs thicker and get thicker caseback/plexi etc. The aim in this one was to retain the proportions of gen while "slimming" the whole thing down. I think I wil keep this one as a destro and wear lhs.... anyway progress shots (case still bit rough and shape not finished)- mock-up to see how shape looks on older jackson rep strap....
