Hooley Dooley, this is "shaping up" to be a real cracker!

Just checking out the photos and the dots are fair glowing, Woks. They look great!
got the spring cavity and control cavity routed, I won't be able to contour the body top as much as planned as I should have done that before routing the control cavity. Oh well change of plan will do an elbow and tummy cut and round the edges.
Just need to route control and trem cover recesses.
Really enjoying this build as its a great challenge and love making up the design as I go.
Do I get a get out of naughty room card for wearing a Pit Bull shirt DB ?

The neck is Canadian Rock Maple/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from wokkaboy on April 14, 2014, 16:16
cheers Dan. The neck is rock maple (think it was queensland rock maple) and the fingerboard is the same wood as the body, tasmanian blackwood. I'm thinking about a blackwood veneer for the headstock too, got enough offcuts from the body blank
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Looking like a very impressive chunk of wood Wokks! Also looks like lots of fun!

It's amazing what a difference rounding over the edges makes. Top work Wokka.

cheers Pablo,
yes rounded edges makes it looks and feel like a guitar. Next time I do a curved top I'll know to route the control cavity AFTER shaping the curve top. Oh well now its like an Ibanez/super strat cross look
