Well, aren't you a busy little bee. Where the hell did this one come from?
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
cheers Tony and Pabs
@ Pabs about 6pm Friday this axe was a 70mm square length of pine. Spent quite a few hours on it over the weekend, glued it up Friday night. Sanding it flat was the killer as some pieces moved a bit while the glue was drying.
It was all KB's fault he posted the pic from FB on Wednesday haha
@ Tony I won't be staining it, it will just be clear coated leaving it natural.

Hey Warren, looking good mate.
You can get a guitar built from scratch in the same time as it takes me to research what guitar to make next. What you need now is a fanned fret job and it will really spin people out when they look at it.
cheers Westie07 ! Not a bad idea with the fanned frets/multi scale.
Luckily I didn't have much else to do on the weekend so it freed a heap of hours to work on it.
I just ordered a black tele hardware upgrade for it

Dude, that is looking sick. I can't believe how quickly this has evolved, Is the Glue even properly dry yet?!?!?

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

Ah of course, the glorious west with low humidity and nice high temps. Sweaty Sydney does not allow such things. I am loathe to touch stuff laminated like that in anything less than 2 days, but i'm probably also being over cautious.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
