Here I'm re-fretting and setting up Huw's Westone Raider - another of his collection of Matsumoku-made 1980s classics. It has a very nice 'Japanese strat-like' neck but I had to be careful when re-radiusing the board because of the relative thinness of the rosewood. It was a straightforward re-fret and we were hoping to replace the single volume pot with a concentric knob / dual gang pot arrangement to give volume and tone on the same knob. However, the expensive US Fender pot that Huw sourced had smaller shaft radii than the supplied knobs... and just about every other knob available on this side of the Atlantic. It became a potentially expensive undertaking - so Huw resigned himself to upgrading the pot and leaving it as single function.
