I've lost track of the numbers. Do you knock these things out in your sleep?

Incredible skills. Wish I had a fraction of them. :thumbup:

this one took forever...
Firstly, I tried out a bevel instead of a curved edge...Which looks kind of cool. Its like my take on a SG.
Then I stained it black and left the bevel clear...but it didnt quite work so I sanded it all back...you can still see it around the Truss rod cover cos it soaked so far in. :oops:

anyway...its a chunkyish C neck. Its quite bright (those alnico 5s) and its very light. My scales have no battery so Ill get around to weighing it at some stage.

Its ok, only old fellas like that care about weight. They can't get through a whole 30 min garage session with anything over 1 kg...
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Stunning (as usual), and that is very light indeed.

(You could almost support that with a decent erection when on stage) :shock:
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Thats awesome, great work. Loving the bevels on the body. Neck joint extend under the neck pickup? Excellent truss rod cover as well. Did you keep track of the hours for this one??
