I told myself I wasn't buying another PBG after that last kit and yet here I am.....I guess you just can't fight the GAS.
I'll definitely be mocking up and measuring before I even look at a tool of any description.

wow Welcome back Barge, good to have you back bro !
we going to break the 31 page diary record ?
The Barge and Woks show IS BACK !
Welcome back Barge! Please don't throw this one away mate, the other one seriously would have made an awesome wall clock for the studio!
He's back! :)
yeah there's no point fighting GAS, it will get you in the long run !
whats the plans for the build Barge, similar to the last one with veneer and your own shape ?
those example axes look choice as Barge.
Look forward to seeing it progress bro
Welcome back mate. :)
yeah thats a super sexy axe Barge
maybe Karijini red could get that colour
Aw man that sandblasted ash axe is nuts! A combination of all those choices will be quite cool Barge!
the blasted one is awesome, but the flame maple one is the ducks guts
whatever you choose Barge, this will be cool - you have a title to defend....
sounds good Barge, what was the last build diary think got to page 10 before you made a start !
sounds nice mate, you'll do a nice job of it too
Hey Nige , welcome back bro
Cheers dude;-)Quote:

That I did, hopefully we have a bit more success this time round and avoid the wheelie bin:-)
No wheelie bins there banned .expecting something special this time around Goodluck
Yeah, welcome back. The GAS got the better of you! Looking forward to your new creation.
hehehe, I chuckled:-), as long as we can get a kit without errors this time it should be all good Kim.Quote:

Presume you still got the bridge to upgrade and maybe other goodies
Will be the very first thing I'll be checking Wokks;-) Yeah that mighty mite bridge should work just fine. I got hold of a sandblaster for the compressor today so I'm gonna have a crack at texturing the top.Quote:

I got a compressor gathering dust.
Better practice the sand blasting on scrap wood hey bro !
Good stuff, the Wokka & Barge show is back with a new series :)

Here you go Wokks, my NOTM entry;-)
nice one Barge the neck from the last build will save you a heap of time - one you prepared earlier !
Hope its a nice fit in the neck pocket, they generally swap over pretty good having built 400 odd strats myself hahha
Naa I don't think I'm gonna use on this one Wokks, might run with the red and black theme for the headstock I reckon, might even glue on a veneer.Quote:

"And here's one I prepared earlier...." I thought this was a guitar building forum, not a goddamn cooking show!
Well there's a result, the instrument's actually to scale this time, happy days.
Grain's pretty tight for ash so the sandblast effect probably won't have as much impact, time will tell.
Headstock holes are way too far south for my tastes but otherwise a nice tidy kit.
Preliminary carve done.
Some nice carving action going on there. Ash grain looks like my TLA, factory must be going through same batch of timber.

cheers,
Gav.
Just gorgeous carves mate. Really love the lines on this one
@Gav@Nick Thanks guys, it's really hard to convey the lines in a pic with a monotone piece of wood. I think it's gonna be one of those things that will make more sense once the colour goes down.Quote:
