Oooh. That’s going to look purdy.

Ooh... What are the layers here?

The core is rock maple 25mm, 10mm slices of Zebrano either side.
There is going to be a .5mm slice of red maple veneer between each of the zebrano halves to accent.

Wow! Watching with interest!!!
I'm getting closer to pulling my finger out and doing a scratch body. (will definitely do a manufactured neck)
I haven't decided on the shape though. It has to be "not a tele" "not a strat" though. I wish I had an Igor...
Geez, that looks nice Frankie. One day I'm going to use REAL wood.

Mate I'm lucky I'm not living in Brissy. There are so many folk selling hardwood slabs and Aussie timbers/Recycled timbers up your way I'd never have any money for beer!Quote:

It's always a case of "I'd like to do my own body shape" but then trying to find something original. I find everything I start to draw ends up looking vaguely Ibanez RG or stratish.Quote:

Yes, I get that. I am a strat guy through and through, and I think it's just ergonomically (near) perfect. I don't don't want to reinvent the wheel nor go OTT just to be different.Quote:

From looking at the grain of the two pieces of wood you're using for the top of the guitar body, I just know that it'll come out looking great once the build-process is completed, definitely going to keep an eye on this thread for sure.
Probably better to use timber rather than wood ;P........Quote:

All the little jointy bits are in alignment

Just the hint of red veneer to break up the brown and black.
All I have to do now, is build a sandwich press.
