Awesome, looking really nice. 
And through an Einie? Yeah, that's 100% win right there. :-D
Yeah, a bolt-on built the right way does sound huge*. There's something about a relatively lightweight body bolted to a stiff neck that gives an amazing response.
* I don't own one, but have played the prototype B6 and there's something really alive about this style of build.

And if you do a set neck, and you ad bolt on it, it might sound 2 times greater!
(sorry for the troll but I can't prevent myself when I read this kind of things...)

seriously, this is an amazing build. congrats on the NBGD walterson great work!
great work!Just a last note to close this thread:
I was able to finish the setup last weekend, filed the nut slots to their final depth and was honored with a ridiculous low action. The Neck didn't move at all under String tension, it kept dead straight. I dialed in a minimal recurve to keep the guitar buzz free.
The sound is awesome, I really dig the TB-6 in this machine. Tight but massive with nice high end...
The tone pot isn't a pot in fact. It's a 3-Way rotary switch. I did some "electrickery" with some resistors and capacitors, think of a switchable tone control:
Position 1: raw, unchange TB-6 sound
Position 2: more middy, less output "PAF like" tone
position 3: "womans tone", nice for solos...
So this is not the one trick pony one might think it is...
I hope you had as much fun watching, as I had building this Axe......
Cheers,
Walterson

Got Hype(machine)?
That's a great idea on the tone pot/switch! I definitely approve, I'd like to hear this now. Kthxbye

Agreed on the tone pot trick, that's such a cool idea man. Love this build.
Thats a little difficult for me... I do not have the equipment and skills to record something decent... maybe I can ask a friend to do some soundclips...

Hey Walterson, it doesn't have to be something perfect you know, we can get an idea of how good it sounds if you just record it through a camera mic
. We're probably as excited as you are because to be honest, it is a very very good build!

Your whole thread is brilliant. I don't normally comment on much i prefer to just observe but your work is exquisite. The rotary control was the just cherry on top for your build. Can't wait to see what you do next.

After all the teasing with pornographic pics like this, I think it's the least you could do for SSO.
We want to hear it!
@all: I'll see what I can do about soundclips, but it will take a while...
I got 7 headless tuners and two deathbucker 7 in the mail..... and a permisson from someone called "Ola"... I'll let you guess whats next....
