Yep. Although I appreciate the link because I have more builds planned and it's good to be able to find reasonable priced good quality parts to try and keep the costs down.

A lot of their own-brand stuff is very good and comes off the same production line as Wilkinson products. Ive got AUD$200 of their parts making their way from them to me this very moment.

Your headstock certainly got my attention. Kind of crazy, but I like it.

Haha cheers mate but I can't claim it as my design. This is the design that Charvel and Rickenbacker have used for their 12 strings.

I have been slowly ticking along with things when I get a chance.

Got the neck blank jointed and glued up.

Cleaned up the pieces for the body blank.

Joint looks pretty good, I'll glue it up in the next few days and then I can cut it out the rough shape.

Also had a new toy arrive a couple days ago to replace the cheap blackridge spray gun I'd been using.

For everyone following along, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about this project. I've just had a few things competing for my time. But I have glued up the body blanks and yesterday I did rough cut the body.

Next job is to finish up my working templates for it so I can check the fit of a few things and then do the routing.

They look to be Jin-ho. I used some of their bass tuners on my ESB-4 and they seem decent enough. You could probably find a local importer.

This build has been just sitting in the background with nothing happening*as my focus had been taken by a couple other projects which I want to get out of the way so that I can pay close attention to this one.* But I did cut out the pickguards today.

They aren't perfect but they'll do the job.
