Post some quick sanding of the front and back. And a quick cheeky rub down (couldn't resist). Much more sanding to come.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9cab52a5c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b4230e1064.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9244d293fc.jpg
Ooooooo some figure coming through. Are you going set neck on this or bolt on?
Ahhh, I've got a clearer idea now, thanks for explaining.
I like seeing how others improvise to achieve what they want with what they got!
Never has the expression "Necessity is the Mother of invention." been more true.
Very cool. Are you in Brisbane, or am I mixing you up with another member?
Oh yesss [emoji2]Quote:

I totally agree with you mate. And this is why I love this forum as people always endlessly inspire me too.Quote:

you could do a faux(or real) binding top edge and then colour the back of neck and body a covering shade. Perhaps a similar timber headstock veneer?Quote:

I have access to a machine shop at work, so I was thinking I could machine some brass bushes in varying widths to compensateQuote:

Maybe just as well your not in Brizzy. I'd likely become a serial pest! :o
