Well Folks, time to bid farewell...

This is the last of my old locally sourced Tassie Blackwood builds....

The quality on offer last time I visited my purveyor of fine timbers was unsatisfactory.

I now source my Tone Woods from a saw mill in Tasmania.
Costs more but the quality is assured.

So is that a neck-through, or have you just built the body with a separate centre piece?

@ Fretty,

Three piece body, the central chunk is much denser than the wings..

Very nice looking body DB! Can't wait to see it completed! Is it just me or is the body a bit longer than normal? Could be the camera angle though...

nice one DB, must be a bit sad the last of the Tazzy blackwood builds. I've had great experience with this timber on a scratch body and a few fingerboards.
Where's this axe destined for DB ?
Where's the output jack going on the pickguard, usual position or side mounted ?

Headstock to neck....
I want to keep this neck.

wow looks sweet as DB
that neck would look fantastic on a 4D axe hahahaha
so whats the neck timber looks too light to be tazzy blackwood ?

Beautiful neck DB! Would love a transition like that on the Bellamy axe!

Nice work DB. Great contours around the headstock

Are you just going to finish this naturally?

DB, that looks really really nice and the grain is just awesome.

Looks great DB - if that it the same supplier that you suggested that I visit, I fully concur - they even admitted that they are not really carrying anything for guitars...
