What the!!!!
You been holding out again!
Looks fantastic! Just bl**dy brilliant! Love the binding!
Are those the Rocktron pickups in there!?
nope, just the ones that came with the kit, Gav.
That binding didn't come with my kit! Looks spectacular. What is it?
The binding is a super secret DB special.... aww OK, I will tell you...
Red, white, blue pearloid and red perloid.
One and a half hours of routing, Five hours of gluing and swearing and two hours of scraping, sanding and polishing...
Oh. My. Dear. God.
Just beautiful!
It looks like it was worth it DB, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I hope you re keeping this one!
Red, white, green - isn't that the mexican flag - are we looking at a mariachi ricki? :D Just kidding - that is an amazing amount of work to go into a guitar!
The body is actually Azure Lagoon.... for some reason it looks green in these pics...go figure...
I don't like my chances of keeping this one Gav....
Forgot to mention the three hours spent cutting and shaping the white perloid scratch plate and pup surrounds... the most time I am ever likely to spend on a scratch plate....
Mate, you shoulda told me, we could have put the body on my binding router jig, i reckon you could have traveled here done the binding and even had time to spare for a coffee before travelling home and it would still have taken less time than the hour and a half!Quote:

I really must invest in one of those binding jigs...
Mate, it takes an hour to travel from the deep south to the far north, not to mention the passport checks :)
Are you bringing those Celery Pine bodies up this weekend to play with the Bandsaw?
Not sure at this moment in time... got a Pit Bull staffie on Saturday and Miss Fiona is working on Sunday... will let you know how things are shaping up later this week.
That's Azure Lagoon? Could have sworn it was Surfer Girl when I looked at the pics, very deceptive!
Yep, it was one of those WTF moments when I down loaded them from my camera....
Yer I saw this Sunday and the body looks much bluer in the flesh. Awesome job you have done there DB with the binding and scratchplate, and believe it or not this axe was a return !!
I'll just leave this here...

Can't believe it was a return. Maybe a worthy sacrifice to the Pitbull Gods to keep the baritele?
That's right, this was returned. I can't remember why now. I recall the corners of the scratch plates were chipped a little. DB, was there an issue with the neck?
WTF!!! THAT IS AWESOME DB!!!!
You should have given it to me mate,that could have been my birthday pressie lol!!! but seriously, damn that is sexy!
That is an awesome looking guitar DB
Just a minor cosmetic issue really.Quote:

The scratch plate was slightly chipped and the neck has a tiny bit of damage that will disappear with a light touch up with sandpaper.
nothing a cup of concrete won't fix hey DB ?
well I know who the winner is here !
great looking axe DB, see if you can padlock the Riccy down for a bit longer !
It's all been said before. Fan ken tastic. My poor Ricky takes a bow.
Lily Allen, Just Lily Allen....
Looks amazing. With that binding, did you glue each layer individually, letting it dry each time? How'd you achieve that? Where do you source your binding?
Hey Walrus.
Each layer is applied individually, I use medium Stewmac superglue and hold the binding in place with binding tape- also from Stewmac.
The binding was sourced on ebay.
There was also quite a lot of swearing involved.....
Doesn't sound like you... :PQuote:

I've never heard DB swear ONCE, several times, but never ONCE!
Bloody nice looking guitar you have there, DB.

Adam saw her today and I think a little bit of wee came out...
Had she been finished she would now be hanging on "That" wall... :)

Awesome job DB. Absolutely love it.
