Hey Guys
So been away for a while im just now recovering from a very nasty chest infection that's had me down for a month or so...
Any hows haven't had chance to get to the workshop for a while but as i started to feel better in the past 10 days or so i got a itch for a new build (still got many other project to finish but you know how it goes)
Trigger for this was i found a very nice RGAIX6U-ABS (fuck ibby guitar names...just wow) neck on evilbay going pretty cheap @ just £75, hit the BIN and started to mull over what to build body wise for it....
After a bit of mocking in PS i came up with this based on ryans knights LACS tele shape
i already have self designed templates cut for this body shape i used on another build that i was very pleased with so it's a no brainier to re use them here,Not sure if i'll go with an Ibby bridge or just slap a floyd rose on this (i think i have an Edge II kicking about in a box somewhere)
Spec on this woods wise is
Neck:3 piece Maple/Bubinga/Maple with Ebony board/bound (brown ash headstock veneer will go)
Body will be 1 piece 40mm Idigbo with 7mm Black Limba top
Just got chance to cut & thickness the body today and mark things up,should get chance to do some gluing tomorrow see how it goes from there,don't fancy spending to long in a unheated workshop this time of the year
