And a couple more.
Man, this is going to look so cool once it’s done
I've been neglectful in not answering these questions- the sensible ones, that is.. 😉Quote:

And I will opt for an offset F-style. Not brave enough to do a scarf joint just yet.
The woods were sourced from the local men's shed- I believe they were donated a few years back.
Now the next thing to worry about is the headstock shape- I'm opting to go for a reverse headstock 4-in-line. Then after that I'll start sourcing the hardware.
Anyone know of a source for piezo bridges?
Work on the neck continues unabated...
Coming along, do you have a radius gauge for the neck profile or are you just going by feel?
For bass piezo bridges, there's the Schaller Bass 2000 series. Also Graphtec Ghost bass piezo saddles for P-style, ABM or Hipshot A style bridges (you can get the A-style complete with the piezo saddles from Hipshot). Those seem to be the main ones.
Nice work BG. That mix of timbers is looking wonderful and I am still in complete wood envy.Quote:

Purely by feel. It'll be a bit of a baseball bat at the low end of the neck but flatten out more at the dusty end of the neck.
