Love a good EX build, look forward to following the journey.
Nice one Phil, that 3d printer is earning it's keep. I need those two in my kit for next build.
Looks great Phil, may the production line roll on
I'm interested in meeting up and putting some named to faces. Not really a player but happy to bring both builds along to muck around with. My musical tastes pretty much same as Sonic, but love ZZ...
Due to some unfortunate timing I am going to be away next month for work and am unable to use my ticket to see the Pixies on Friday 13th of March. PM me if you are interested, $100
Cheers Brendan
Well done mate, true testiment to your perseverance, sounds pretty good too for a first run. May there be many more
Thanks for the review Simon, looks like a good simple upgrade for most builds
Wow, great looking top on that, can't wait to see how this one goes.
Loving the finish on that Phil
Looks dead sexy. Proceed by all means 😁
I'll try to get some shots tomorrow
Thanks guys, definitely wouldn't have worked out this well if not for all the assistance and advice of the forum members. Congrats to Ozzbike, Sachin and Tommygun for their awesome builds, especially...
Cheers Tony, I'm sure it's not what you envisaged when you got it 🤣
I'm happy to assist with a build, but probably not up to scratch building necks. I'm based in brissie. I have a mate with a fractal burner that can give some cool effects for neck and body.
It plays very nicely, good low action. Still feeling all the sounds out as I've never had an electric before, but there are plenty of options there. I'm not much of a player, but my neighbour is...
That Camphor laurel looks really nice, love the stain colour with it. What did you fill those small surface cracks with?
Nice find Simon, can't wait to see this one come back to life.
Probably would have ended up as firewood if not for yourself, Waz and many others helpful advice along the way. This forum is a great place to learn new skills and extend yourself
A few more pics
Well, after a year and a half, this axe is done and submitted for December GOTM. I'll some pics here to finalise the build diary.
Spec are as follow.
Artist bullbucker pickups, wired in split coil...
I ran into this issue last week, when replacing a Bourne push pull pot, which I think are 19 spline. The DiMarzio pot looks identical and was told they were made in same factory but spline count...
Probably some body parts too that you would rather keep attached as well.
I am not that brave Frankie, I'd be a dead man if another guitar turned up. Next thing I have to build is a rack to hold them.
Few more glory shots
Well, been a long time this build, but it is finally time to call this one done!
May I introduce 'BLAM!' this EX-1 was adopted from Tony here on the forum over a year and half ago, and my plan was...
