The Science
A little update.
Im still pretty well busy, but in about a month i get a whole lot more free time.
I have made myself a bit of a better plan.
it turns out i got a little overzealous when i was buying guitar hardware before, so i have enough components for 3 full guitars (all 6's however
)
1) les paul/tele hybrid, ye olde' styling (open back tuners, brass highlights ect), an old rocker.
2) Iceman(or fireman), veneer top, possibly trial run at binding, tom wraparound bridge, a "suit" guitar.
3) RG shape, EVH pickup ect, however a fixed bridge, a different kind of flame guitar (explained later)
I also decided since the hardware was kinda the majority of the cost, i upgraded my timber a bit.
To make it a bit more... fancy?
Thats the padauk there on the right, up top (from a prev post).
Its sitting on a lump of fiji mahogany, enough for another 2 bodies easy, 3 if im cram them in.
top to bottom:
Fiji Mahogany (body)
Tasmanian Blackwood (2 necks)
Tasmanian Blackwood also, this just has been planed already (neck)
US Maple (fretboard, seenn previously)
Sheoak lace (fretboard)
Gabon Ebony (fretboard, seen previously)
Here is what blackwood looks like once its finished.
That's the other 1/2 of the planed piece, i used it to make a nixie clock.
nice veneers i aquired.
The RG, assuming i dont ruin anything again![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
I have the number of a furniture maker nearby who may be able to pass the mahog/padauk over a jointer ,to make the bodies, which will be a great help.
I cant wait to get started again![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
