Phroz STA-1M, ST-M, TL-1

They look great Phroz! The Tele looks very elegant with the black guard.
I know what you mean about keeping busy, I get asked all the time why I make so many guitars when I don't sell them and am a pretty terrible/learner player, the answer is I enjoy it.

So shiny Phroz!

Thanx guys i got new computer and having trouble loading the forum page kept getting error messages, cant remember any of my passwords on my photobucket account and everything older than 12 month UUUUUUUHHHHHHH!!!

@simon i use mostly mica's and pearls not really metallic the truss rod wont tighten up its at the limit of the adjustment be easier to just get a new neck did think about trying to pull off the fret board but too hard the neck is not been used yet so think its just a doggy one

@Dedman no ones bothered if you just learning or jimmy Hendricks i hear you mate, i love doing them as well and you always come up with some great looking axes

I was on YouTube last night watching the Andertons NAMM 2017 uploads seen some great looking guitars which gave me some ideas specially from Ibanez

Super nice builds, all of them , but that tele is amazing and the blue strat , oh man....

One handy trick is to loosen off the truss rod and then gently pull back the neck somewhere near where you think it should be and then take up the slack on the truss rod.

Worked for me on the EX-5

I tried that waz i even clamped it down for a day but sprung back i got a ibanez neck i might try fit on it but been out of action with a few thing cut off my arms which didn't go so good but started on a les paul not sure what way ill go on it yet and left hand is still useless atm

this is what can happen when you don't use protection when using isocyanate's

[Simon Barden]

That's not nice, Phroz. Hope it all heals up quickly.

[phrozin]

hi guys been working on a couple there more repairs as strat had a bad truss rod so i cut down a 24 fret neck to a 21 was a bit of messing around to get scale right for intonation still waiting on some parts its just plain ol basswood strat the 2nd is the 1st les paul i brought as i sanded through the veneer its just a lp1m mahogany has been sitting around so i figured i might as well do something with it colour i'm thinking a robot would look cool which is blue over silver for any one who doesn't know what a robot burst is

colour is tropical green mica

[phrozin]

here is the lp1 so far only primed up, both i have done with spray gun for anyone wanting to know if i used spray gun or rattle can

still got a bit of work to do on it
