That looks amazing. The figured tops a great touch. Out of interest, have you tried cncing the fretboard slots?? Other companies do that so Id guess that itd work and save you some effort.

I don't have the cutter yet but to be honest it takes 10 mins on the saw jig. However to do fan frets and multi scale which is next on the menu then yes I shall be cutting them on the cnc.
Fanned fret 8 string baritone? Go on!
Ooo big call for first time that one
Maybe a six string to start with
Eight string fretless multiscale Bass.... I dare ya, J-Rod! :)
Come on guy's, how a about i just build a fricken harp. Lol.....
haha yer Jarrod sure you can program the CNC to make a wooden harp !
I'd stick to a basic 6 string bro and if you can work out a multiscale I'll be one of your first customers bro !
And I'll be second. Even for a standard 8. Or even an 8 string body and neck. Whatever, I just have insane GAS for an 8.
Wow just ticked over 500 posts , finally classed as a mentor lol...
Only 1500 to go for OVERLORD status ;)
And quite right sir. You know you've helped me out.
Quick update. Body has cured after a good 3weeks so polished it up. Not so good news I just bumped the back of my neck on the corner of the table , although a tiny ding I can't live with it so a small repair to do. Well here is the up to date pics.

In the words of little Britain " I want that one!!"
Man that looks amazing. Orders??
X2 on the orders. That thing is so good. Curious about these secret painting techniques. But seriousley, can't wait for the vid mate, that's a killer instrument.
Simply breathtaking work.
The love & effort you have put into this one has been richly rewarded.
Better 'fess up on the secret though, or you'll never hear the end of it :P
Thanx guy's,
I'm more than happy to help with peoples paint and clears but some things I must keep to my self incase these somehow make it to a showroom floor lol...wishfully thinking.
There's no if mate, but when.
Class act man - that thing is gorgeous.
Holy F$%^!!! That is, hands down, one of the best custom guitars I have ever seen.
So, when and where can we get these custom orders going? If you ever want to do commission work, I will be one of the first in line. Awesome.
Professional! Definitely Rolls Royce standard there Jarrod!!!!!
Jarrod, this is just excellent work.
As good as any custom guitar, you are rightfully proud.
Thee craftsmanship and attention to detail are awesome - now get your logo on the headstock!
top work, very ,very nice
