Re: Number One (in progress)
Thanks guys,
She's all one piece now and rocking. I got some pics from last night's surgery for now....
What a nightmare it was.... It must have taken me about 2.5 hours.
All of this has to go through the F hole
Bits of 'rope' going through every hole to the piece that belongs in that hole....
The pickup selector switch was easy.
All done. See those two little black switches.... They took forever to get in and I admit, I needed help from my mate Jeff to get them in.
Hopefully I can take some photos of the final assembly tonight.

Re: Number One (Finished)
All finished bar pick guard. Not sure if I will put one on. She is a heavy beast at 4.5KGs and has some interesting sounds. Really pleased with the Dimarzio mini humbuckers. Strung with 11's flat wounds. Here some pics - (only 9).
That little black spot on the binding is a little fly.
Next build will be a stratocaster....

Rhett, breathe deeply and stop counting....
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

No, but I'm worried for the boy. All those pieces of timber might just be too much for him.BG wrote:it doesn't say gibson...slowfingers wrote:Rhett, breathe deeply and stop counting....
