Simon where did you source that lovely piece of Rosewood from? If you don't mind me asking?

Hahaha love Arnie's old films.
Franken I got it from guitaraust.com.au. It's the grade A Indian rosewood. It was actually from LMII because it arrived with its label on so I guess the owner imports parts from LMII. The wenge veneer is from LMII too.
Cool, thanks Simon. I need a similar sized blank of Rosewood/Ebony for a scratch build.
Its all starting to look seriously cool on this build mate, eager to see your body style for this!

Thanks mate! Hope to see some the FrakenWashie completed and scratch builds!
Hopefully I should be able to finish the body by the weekend! Then I'll wet sand and buff the second project.
Unfortunately FrankenWashie has a way to go, there are some unique challenges with that one! Until I get that off the bench I probably won't start anything else. Wee bit time poor at the minute.

I reckon you could just get a hacksaw and cut off 5mm the trem block!
The beauty is, that if I have to go there, I have a fully equipped engineering workshop at work so I can get that milled properly!

Wow that's awesome. You could totally make your own hardware.
I finished shaping the neck and I'll upload a time lapse showing how I did it with nothing but files, a chisel and sandpaper.
The result:
I'll glue a piece of blackwood on the back of the headstock after I'm done with the body wings. As for now I'm not a 100% done with the volute.
