I prepared a slurry of cedar coloured Timbermate wood filler and hand rubbed it onto the body. Hopefully this will raise and fill the grain.

Added an arm contour using a Shinto rasp-saw. Then sanded with 180 and 240 g.

Good point. I have not done one before so it must be time to learn! I'll order it ASAP.

Wouldn't push pull pots be neater than extra switching for splits

I have some p-90s ready to go. I'm not quite sure how I intend to connect the rhythm/lead switch yet.:confused:

Ditto about authority!!

I have widened the Pup pickup routes to allow for a humbucker in the bridge position (and also routed out the neck just in case I want to use it...

That's why you're the king ;-) The agonizing is because I am not considered an aesthete around my house. I am generally not authorized for fashion...

I love those bathtub routs. You can use any sort of pickups you like with them. Any plans for them? Also curious what you plan to do with the...

I do not like agonizing over choices, so I probably would have built a guitar in each colour!:p

Sanded the body from 180 g to 240 g. Also, noticed a couple of dents in the back, so used the soldering iron with a damp cloth to fix them up. I'm...

I am glad you like it! The color choice was dictated by the pickguard--and I agonized over it. The donor bass was black, and I bought the pickguard...

It looks great. I love the colour combo of the body and pickguard.

FINALLY! I decided not to do anything job related today, and failed, but did manage to get the bass put together, shielded and wired. It is...

While I had the new G style bridge out, I thought the comparison between it and the bass bridge would show how really massive the bass version is. ...

Looking good.

I have a feeling that these chrome plates have been in the warehouse for a very loooong time. The protective covers had changed to a sticky goo. I...

Finally corrected finish/hole mistakes and did the final polish of the body. Work is very busy these days so I won't be making TD style progress any...

Not my first Sung Il bridge...but the latest, and it has a bit of an oddity. I have used three bass bridges from Sung Il and all have been quite good...

Better than me. I never polish up the metal parts on the theory that it won't look played unless there are finger prints. That sounds better than...

You're flying through this one!

I have added a stamped "serial number" to the back of the headstock. This has been filled with Timbermate ebony wood filler and sanded back to 240g....

Added a stamped "serial number" to the back of the headstock.

Fair enough, my mahogany Thinline Tele is a nice dark(ish) brown

Similar to Jag. Shaped the headstock and sanded the neck to 240 g.

Yes, sometimes it does feel like it. Today I have shaped the headstock and sanded the neck up to 240 g.

You nearly have a factory going ;-)

Same as the Jag. I have changed the nut to a bone nut and sanded the base to a good starting height for the slots. Filed the fret ends. Adjusted...

I wasn't actually suggesting that GH's tele was walnut. I was suggesting that a dark Tele like GH's or TD's would go well with a fur coat and a...
