Wicked, man. Congrats on what looks like a beautiful guitar.

Cheers guys!

Your new guitar must be a cousin of this one. Neck/FB wood from the same planks, recycled/recovered wood, one Ash pickup and also Christchurch resident.

Never realised my tawa was from that Musicworks warehouse! Hopefully that bit of NZ history gets me an extra mark or two

And that's a bloody nice guitar... I have to get a Coden or a Heilo one day!

I don't remember which bit was which, but some was from an unused plank that was getting chucked out and other bits were recovered from destroyed shelving and cabinets. I suspect the neck was from the plank because of its size.

Got the last of the problems fixed! Fretboard is a million times more comfortable to play on, and I fixed the wiring! The nut has also been trimmed and glued in place. This weekend I should be getting the logo screen printed. Yus

great stuff!

Btw guys, I got the logo screen printed this weekend. The decal for the back didn't go so well though, the screen slipped a bit and smudged it. A bit of some solution made of idontknowwhat cleaned it off though. I think I'll just leave that one. Next guitar I may try make a jig of some sort to keep everything stable so I'm not relying on my hands to keep everything in place

You can see this one still smudged slightly on the bottom of first squiggle.



I quite like the screen printed logos, they just seem slightly more professional. Or maybe that's just cause most people can't make their own professional screens at home? At Dad's work they have inks in pretty much every colour you could imagine, along with fluoros and metallics. I might just have to get a bit creative next year...
