Oh snap! Outstanding work. That looks unreal.
nice inlayed walnut 3Bass, you have given alot of other builders a cool idea
The Walnut control plate idea would really set things off and truly look unique.
Thanks for the feedback and advice everyone ... definitely going to recess the control plate.
;)
I'll use the chrome one to start with and see how it looks - the idea of having one also made from walnut is a nice idea, but since the control plate really needs to be something that is removable I figure I can do that later on. Thinking I could even try a few different materials to see what looks good.
I've decided that all the other hardware on this build will be chrome too, so thinking that the stock control plate will look good too ... watch this space!
:D
Sounds good and should look great all fully recessed.
This is just out and out WOod Porn dude....too cool!Quote:

Another day well spent!
Started off by filling a couple of minor glitches around the scratchplate and created the space for the control plate ...

Control plate fits OK ... little bit of sanding work required to tidy it up, but looking good.

:cool:
I gave the body another good sand with some 400 grade paper and then applied the DT colourless stain coat.
I think it's going to work well ...

Wow, looks even better than what I had imagined.
