That mock build looks great, don't know why they took so long to sell.
Looks like we'll be needing some more once you finish this one Euroa.

Today did lots of work on the neck pocket and heal, the routing in the pocket was pretty rough with lots of tearout and the neck sat in the pocket on an angle (sideways). After lots of filing and sanding on both all looks good. Checked the break angle and thats fine too.
After sanding to 400 I decided to whack some stain on the back to check the colour and what the grain was going to do. Turned out too pinkish for what I wanted so have now grainfilled and then will sand back and I may add a little red mahogany to the cherry red to get the depth of colour that Im after.
Gotta love rainy days when its too wet to do normal work!
And yes Wokka I'm practicing my AHa Aha... thankyou very much.:cool:
PS Has anyone tried GFS pickups they make a pretty cool looking goldfoil that fits a humbucker rout
looking good Euroa.
Most reviews I have seen of GFS pups have been good
Going to look good Euroa. But I wish you guys would stop showing off these semi-acoustic hollow bodied guitars, they look sooo good.

Thanks robin, I had to sell an Ovation I had for ten years to justify buying this one, so under pressure to do a good job:eek:Quote:

Thanks waz, I just read your post about the ink, I used colourtone cherry red on this and it was way too pale. I bought the cherry for a custom job I did and mixed it with mahogany came out looking like redgum which is what he wanted, but I might have to try the fountain ink!Quote:
