Scratch body experiments

It's been too cold (and wet) to get any more paining done on the double cut. So have been finalising the neck angle on the other single cut.


Looks a little high in the photo (hard to juggle everything) but the ruler is sitting about 2mm off the highest saddles. Happy with that for now I reckon.

Ye, I hate trying to pain in the cold and wet also. This one is really starting to come together nicely, good outcome there with your break angle.

Haha, thanks bro. I just realised I meant to say painting instead of paining. But same same really, ey?

Ha, the way I do painting, your spelling is absolutely more descriptively accurate!

Finally got around the applying the name badges on these 2.

I'm also waiting on the sun to come out today to apply the clear coat on Double Cut.

Looking good BD. Did you shape that volute on the tl neck, or did it come like that?

Yep, slightly re-shaped and sharpened it up a bit

I'm fairly new to the forum and hadn't seen this thread yet. Great to see Tas Oak in a build! I just started my first ever build and used tas oak. 1m length of 200 x 50mm select grade that I had to square off and joint, so I've got a solid chunk of wood for the body. I know you're sandwiching yours with other wood, but what do you think about the weight of it?

[Bakersdozen]

The weight on these are perfectly acceptable. Nice and chunky without being too heavy.

Measuring, marking and layout fun tonight on the SC Junior.

This is where a trapeze tailpiece held on by the strap button screw helps to run strings across the bridge to ensure perfect alignment. Or just string taped to the rear end of the guitar if you don't have a spare trapeze tailpiece.
