    Nice one Gazz, the old groove inna chunk of tree works really well for crowning frets.

    Glad to know that I am not the only one with a workshop supervisor

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Wait no more Gav
    Job Done (you gotta love an extra long weekend)
    I was surprised how smoothly it went with aligning the neck/bridge and setting up the action
    As DB mantra goes taking your time and attention to detail is the way to go (sorta like meditation via guitar building)
    Really happy with the tone and sustain and the over all feel of the axe and looking forward to playing it in

    Ive posted photos seperately as had probs doing them 3 at a time

    While I was at it made the new toy a jarrah guitar stand

    Its great to have a new toy but there is mixed feelings about finishing the build because it was such good fun!
    It also forced me to learn more about wiring set ups and oh yeh that sanding is good for the soul.(Ill miss the aroma of saw dust in the late afternoon)
    I guess this means there will be another build down the track
    Cheers

    nice build Gazza, love the Gazzacaster headstock logo.
    Have you stained the fingerboard ? looks a bit more yellow than the maple colour.
    Nice setting you took your photos from.
    Is that a home made guitar stand ? looks cool

    Thanks Wokka
    I used the ageing neck stain on the finger board and then some Dr Dux axe wax
    Get to show off to the boys tomorrow night at the weekly jam in the shed
    The guitar stand is a homey from some jarrah floor board off cuts that I ripped down
    Yeh I'm lucky enough to live in those surroundings
    Very musically inspiring
    Cheers and good jamming
    Gazz
