Got some work done on neck today. Shaped headstock. Drilled tuners. Super glued finger board and got nut fitted. What's everyone think of the headstock shape?

Another view. My phone will only upload one pic per post and files aren't too big

Damn that's hot Wokka. Not using a locking nut?
Hey Pabs will see how it plays without a locking nut. Trying to keep it simple. See how it goes. Cheers
Looking great for a scratchie Wokks! Must be stoked!
Cheers Bman. Yes happy so far. Got another clear coat on body. Big thanks to DB for being my super coach!
got some more work done visited DB yesterday and he kindly helped me get the frets in and dressed, and cut the nut slots in the bone nut. I did a mock build

couple more photos. I clearly stained the headstock too dark so I'll sand it back a bit and try and get the colour closer to the body

Fretwork looks great for your first attempt. Wish I had a super coach like DB.
cheers Dan, yes DB is the super coach for sure, he has the tools, knowledge and experience !
holy cow Wokka, this gets better every time I look - that last shot of the body is really nice. I love the super cool natural racing stripe!
cheers Stan, I'll be getting some more of this tazzy blackwood, nice wood to work with and on the eye !
Lovely body Wokka - uh, the guitar's that is... :-P Blackwood is a wonderful local timber and one I've thought of using one day when I have enough skills to be let loose on a valuable slab of tone-wood. :-) A shame it gets wasted on furniture I reckon!
yer cheers John, yes it is beautifull timber to work with and on the eye. The fingerboard is also tassy blackwood. Not many axes have the same wood fingerboard and body !
Looks nice Wokks but on all the pics the bridge looks like its a mile out to the neck?
@ Jarrod all good mate, the neck wasn't straight in the photos and I haven't drilled the neck holes yet, I'll do that once the strings are on ! No need to be alarmed !
lol....
Looking great. It looks like a cross between an Ibanez RG and S, which is the way to go (IMO). RG's body thickness gives its great fat tone and S's curves give it the great playing comfort, so a design like yours is truly genius.
more pics please!!!
thanks Eshays and Stan,
I've just been putting clear coats on up to about 10th coat, I'll get some pics possibly tomorrow night
Looking great Woks!
finally dusted off the axe and started assembling it. Pretty happy how its looking. Just got the wiring to do. Then the fun job of setting up the tremelo !

Fine work wokks and nice colour too.
cheers Jarrod, you will be pumping out scratch axes with your CNC router, is that being delivered today ?
That's a pretty hot looking bit of burnt toffee, Wokka. Should have some serious sustain from that timber too, I reckon.
got all the wiring finished and strung up, got the covers on and a very early setup done. Tonerider rocksong pups sound great and I got the push/pull pot coil split wiring working first try ! Now to get the action and neck setup, can't wait to get it running sweet

Looks magic, mate. Got all your wiring/switching options sorted I take it. Really keen to hear this fired up!
another trademark 4D wonder with nice lines - looks great Wokka!
So Wokka, when do we get photos of the Volvo blue "Jandal" and the Peter Brock Flying V?
Cheers Lozza and Stan
Fretty I'll post pics soon hope to get another coat on the jandal today. There's a few pics on the 4D Facebook page
