Always impressed! Well done.

Awesome work Lawrence!! What tuners are those?

That looks gorgeous. If you don't mind me saying... i think kauri pickup rings would look even better

thanks guys, Im pretty happy with this one.

Jeremy, these are Gotoh Magnums
The original plan was to use brass topped tuners from GFS but the mountings have the screw angled out to the side and they wont fit my peghead. Im contemplating making the peghead wider.....

and Jvpp...I dont disagree
I do like the look of the clear...but I love wooden rings too --
they are a bitch to make! - I struggle to make identical rings free hand...so i prefer to get the basic shape laser cut or CNC'd, then just tidy and polish. I should get a bunch done in different woods....

Do you still have all 20 of your creations?

Nice work! Loving the obvious skill and attention to detail. What's the scale length/radius?

not quite...I sold two and dismantled about 4 to reuse parts.

this is 25" and 12" radius. I pretty much use this all the time.
FWIW this one has a rounded C with a bit of heft to it...like a chunky Gibson. I thought it felt big the first time I played it but now I like its comfort.

Amazing work!

The 14 left in the collection must still be a fairly spectacular sight!

Yep very clever you are ! Nice work
