Yamatji SC1 - Semi-Scratch Build

no worries Daz, would have been easier to replace frets before you set the neck. Are you going for a larger gauge fret ?

I like the stability the body gives when changing out the frets. Seems like it’s too fiddly when the neck isn’t stable. Extra jumbo frets. Both thicker and taller

Oh I like this...

All done. Just gotta fit the truss rod cover once I’ve made my final adjustments, but other than that, it’s good to go. Really happy with it. It plays like butter - so smoothly! I can’t believe I made this with my own hands. Sounds awesome. Every note rings out. The action is great. Best guitar I’ve played in years!!

awesome work Daz, all that blood, sweat and tears has really paid off nicely. Can't wait to see more pics and hear a sound demo !

Stunning work Daryl, really wonderful vision brought to fruition. Standing and applauding.

That looks awesome! I like the earthy colours contrasting with the bits of black burst.

Its turned out great Darryl. Awesome job.

To give you guys an idea of weight - my kit LP guitar comes in at 3.4kg and this guitars weighs 4.4kg (9.8Lb) and is a lot brighter sounding acoustically. It has better sustain too. I’m not sure if that’s because of the extra weight, or the harder woods (the Tuart cap is ridiculously hard, and the maple neck), but I like it so much. Definitely my go-to guitar now!
