Sex on a stick.

excellent routes man.

The day job has been annoyingly consuming these past few months - but hey, if I didn't have it then I wouldn't be building I guess!

The nut is cut, bolted on the neck, and the tuners and bridges have been fitted. I strung it up to confirm all the various alignments and now it is disassembled and ready for Tru Oil.

This thing will really come alive when the Tru Oil hits it. This weekend.

This is turning out really beatyful; can hardly wait for that oiled wood
The pup arrangement puzzles me, it'll be interesting seeing it all mounted up.

 

[s_k_mullins]

This is a really interesting guitar.. I can't wait to see it finished!

Looks a bit Charlie Hunter to me.

This guitar looks incredible.

 

[Erik Hauri]

Yeah, interestingly Charlie Hunter was here in the area not too long ago. I was all set to go see him play, then that morning Snowmageddon started - 52" of snow in one week.

Have you considered adding another fret or so on that little fretless corner of board?

[Eddie Loves You]

Very Wes Lambe; can't wait to see it w/Tru Oil.

Those are the voices inside your head - ignore them and they will go away.

As it stands, there are 22 frets - not enough room for 24 - and 23 would just be awkward.

 

[Erik Hauri]

Yeah Tru Oil

 

[Apophis]

looks incredibly good, I just love it

 

[Erik Hauri]

Got it all together this weekend - fretwork done, neck on, hardware on, strung up, set up - and it made its first noise. I LOVE that moment, it is like a child being born.

Or Frankenstein coming to life (take your pick).

Only bummer - the dual-concentric pot I ordered for the stacked bass-tone knob for the bass pickups has a wierd center detent on both shafts, NOT what you want on a volume pot. :angry: So I ordered a Fender one, and they sent me the wrong pot! :angry: :angry:

Updated pics.

 

[paintkilz]

[Durero]
