RGT-7 QL RBB XL

[RGGR]

I get my lumber from local specialized lumber store. They have a nice supply of almost everything. It's a matter of dropping by there once in a while and see what new supply they have in stock.

I always say I don't pick out the wood, but the wood picks me. I go in for piece of Bubinga, but somehow this super light Swamp Ash finds it's way in the trunk of my car...... not sure how that happens.

Although lumber guys last month were complaning I was stopping by there way too often. Guess, thats a sign to complete couple of my projects, and not start any new ones for a while.

I don't think they ship to the UK. Not sure if they ship at all. Normally you shouldn't want to source your wood from too far away. Shipping really bites you in the ass on that one.

[7 Strings of Hate]

man, beautiful work, i'v been thinkin about trying to work a rg7620 body into one of those cst ibby bodys, do you just hand sand the contour on the face of your projects there?

 

[BRUTALIZER GUITARS]

RGGR man Its About damn time you got over the the SS.org

 

[RGGR]

do you just hand sand the contour on the face of your projects there?

Not sure I understand your comment about the contour on the face.

The top of this guitar is totally flat. Just a contour for the fore-arm on top of the guitar, and a body contour on the back of guitar together with halfmoon shape contour near the neckpocket.

The contour on the face (the fore-arm contour) is done by hand. Just with some (hand cut) files of different grit/teeth type and some sandpaper.

Coolest thing on this project is how the neck turned out.

And all that was result of screw-up I had earlier in the process of making it.

With black hardware, a triple bucker humbucker, a solid Lamborghini yellow color on body and headstock this thing will be a killer.

The swamp Ash body is very very light.

It has been there for ages.....but finally I will be able to finish the guitar that started my love affair with building guitars.

Yessssssssss!!!

In mean time I have been slowly finishing the Axxion I'm building for my brothers. It's almost ready to be dropped off at the painters.
