$130 for a tasmanian blackwood blank?
Adam, DB, you are now officially my favourite people in the world!

I saw these this afternoon as well. Even for someone like me with either the tools or the ability these are very interesting...

Thanks to my 18th a couple of weeks ago I've acquired a few goodies that in
theory will allow me to try a scratch body build.
Hey DB, since you're routing the pre-made bodies is there the possibility for custom routs?
e.g. humbucker routed tele.

Mmmmm... I can imagine the real StratoPester and even my LP being built out of these woods.... *drools on the floor*...

Adam, can you reveal any other wood that DB can get??

No worries Mate. I have the templates so I can do this for the same price :)

This is torture. I getting close to finishing my first kit, and I've got the bug now. So you introduce these beautiful things....

Wow this is great news. Just last night I was searching for body blanks, then you hit us with these gem's.

Any chance you will have some top caps. 5mm/16mm.
Also some thickness dimensions in the product description would be handy. Even if its just approximate thickness.

I am ludicrously excited by this. My woodworking father is going to go nuts on the Blackwood....

I'm convinced Adam is trying to ruin our lives by offering too many things that we just 'must have'.

Are all the blanks two piece, or does it vary?

Alrighty then.

In answer to your questions guys.
There is the possibility of caps in the near future. They will be two piece but because I am such a nice bloke they will have the edges dressed :)
The blanks are 45mm and the bodies are 40mm.
Brendan, I am sure there will be Bass bodies in the future...
All the blanks and bodies are two piece.

Adam and Phil, you are both evil!!!

Some more gorgeous wood to drool over.

By pure coincidence I had pogressively improved the frets on my first build (ST-1) to the point of total annihilation and was pondering between a refret or a new neck. I think this new addition to the PBG range may have helped me decide.
