I'm really digging this build so far, all the colors and materials you're using are beastly, and everything is coming together beautifully! The only real gripe I have is with the bottom of the body; it seems like a bit much just there. After the bridge, there's lots of wood left. Maybe it's just the picture angles, or maybe it's just me. Other than that, I'm loving your non-superstrat FF build.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I can dig what your saying about the body, the pickups and bridge ended up being rather close together. I had thought about going with 22 frets to be able to spread it all out a little more, but I really wanted the extra note access. It might have a bit to do with the angle of the pics too, cause it doesn't seem very bothersome in person.

Here's a couple shots to hold you guys over. The angle of the light makes the beveling looks slightly more dramatic than it really is. More coming on this one tomorrow!

Thanks! It was my first time designing an inlay for a multi scale. Most typical designs create an optical illusion on the fanned frets that make the neck look as if it is bowed to the right. This one had a good feelin thought. Thanks for the comment!

Had a bit of a hangup with the headstock. When I glued on the "ears" I stuck a pinstripe purple heart veneer behind the mahogany which became exposed on the sides when I was sanding. I could have left it, but I just didn't like the look of it. Beings I had some extra flame maple veneer and some leftover from my cover plates, I decided to veneer the sides of the headstock and do a bookmatched cap on the back. There are a few small gaps near the binding, but nothing a little filler won't fix. I'll be staining these portions later on anyway! Got some of those dome knobs with the pearloid caps and replaced them with some gold mother of pearl to match everything. I also for got to route my wire channels before I glued the top on (noob mistake
...Haste makes waste they say) but luckily I had one of these 90 degree drill attachments and just enough room to make it happen.
I know this building is taking forever.... Thanks to everyone for checking it out and commenting through the process!
