So for my resurrected EA-250 I installed some home scatter wound P90s. But the pickup tops ended up at quite an angle (~4.5 degrees) with the strings due to the higher neck angle than on a Casino. So I made (3D printed) some wedged spacers for them. For this guitar I found it to provide much better sound, dynamics, and “smoothness”. I think it’s definitely worth doing. You might be able to see on the marked up photo of the bridge pickup attached.

Ok! "Patches" the barley recovered EA-250 with retrofitted neck and P-90s is nearing completion. Just final setup work to go! This was a loooong time coming and what a learning experience it was! "Patches" has some cosmetic flaws (other than the obvious patches) because, well, I messed up. But "Patches" sounds very nice to me indeed. It's defiantly got that hollow body, P90 vib going! Even with the action still a bit high, it . is . fun!

The neck for the EA-250 has been finished. The nut’s been installed. The next step is putting on the neck & I need to shape a shim. I’d noticed I needed to accommodate a bit more bridge height so I got a .5 degree shim from StewMac (spendy!) This picture shows how I’m roughing out the shape so the shim sits nice on the neck mount tang. I used a dremel drum mandrel with a fine grit band mounted in a drill press & very carefully sanding to the traced line. #guitar #GuitarRepair #luthier

EA-250 Recovery Status: I know I sort of dropped off the radar, but I had to wait for my headstock decal, warm weather, and life craziness to resolve a little. So here is a quick pic of the headstock being clear coated. Hope you like it! #guitar #GuitarRepair #luthier

Finished Tru-Oiling the EA-250 body. I think it looks great, it’s not perfect but the best I can do with what I’ve got. You have to look pretty closely to see the imperfections, so I’m happy!

If I haven’t got this backwards or topsy-turvy or anything here is what the logo for the EA-250 ended up looking like. I am sending it off to get water slide decals made.

Hi ,
I’m wondering if y’all could let me know which of these 2 headstock logos looks nicer? They are for the repaired Matsumoku EA-250 equipped with a neck made in China sourced from Yinfente. Hence it’s not a Matsumoku or Epiphone or mine etc.
The kanji is supposed to mean “Rebirth” or “Resurrection” (hope I got that correct!)

Good news! I got some time back to make progress on the RA-250 and I finally figured out how I can finish the neck. I also started Tru Oiling the body. It’s gonna be nice, not perfect but nice! Can’t wait!

I have not made much progress due to other duties, etc. That continues for 2 to 3 more weeks. I did reshape the top of the headstock a little, worked on preping the headstock veneer, and decided to see if some kanji decals might look nice (this being a Japanese made hollow body). The kanji between the pickups means “dream” and the ones above mean something like “Luck exists in the leftovers”. Seems fitting…
The parts are just set in place, lots to do yet.

Trying to make sure I drill the neck mount holes juuuuust right…
(Pay no attention to the messy bench top)

Here is a photograph of the completed wiring harness sans pickups. It also shows the bottom side of the patch repairs. I ran out of braid covered wire and will have to order more for the pickups. This was the last job to finish before glueing the top back on. I’ll remove the wiring harness before I do that.

Progress:
1. Glued in the neck block.
2. Glued in two floating englmann spruce quarter sawn braces from the neck to tail block. I learned that these late 60’s early 70’s MIJ #Matsumoku thin lines usually have a neck joint flex issue. Found 1 #luthier that installed a floating rod from neck to tail block and reported success. Since I had the top off anyway, I’m trying this. #luthiery #guitar #GuitarRepair
