Re: NDIYG day
Lovely wood, cool design concept. So how does it play and sound? Did you diy the neck as well?
Not sure im into the sketching on the back but hey, whatever floats yer boat.

She told me baby when you race today just take along my love with you, and if ya knew how much I love you baby, nothin' could go wrong with you.
Re: NDIYG day
yes i diy everything except the hardware n electronics. the neck is like between a trapezoid n a chunky les paul size neck, the body shape can b a bit uncomfortable at the beginning due to the shape while sitting, but u sorta get use to it. sounds pretty mellow on the p90 pickup with mild distortion, the brigde humbucker is only good for chugga chugga metal kind of soundVorbis wrote:Lovely wood, cool design concept.

Re: NDIYG day
once upon a time in auckland, i ordered a slab of mahogany from adrian. it was as thick as 60mm if im not mistaken, which is huge for a solid body gat.
since im cheap, im ripping it to a 40mm + 20mm with my $8 hand saw.

Re: NDIYG day
since i dun have a bandsaw, i drilled holes around the body shape, then freehand route it. got it plan flat by adrian(yes i gave up hand planing). there r some issues with the planner, its leaving some lines on the surface, prob the blade is chipped. so i have to hand plane all the high spots, but thats alrite.
the top is now 15mm thick.
