wow for a first build Gary that looks stunning, well done. So are you almost ready to glue the neck in place ?
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Headstock is starting to come along. Rosewood veneer matching the contour of headstock (unfortunately not exact colour match of fingerboard though). This will end up high gloss to match body. Back of neck will be rubbed back to a satin finish for silky feel. Hope it will end up looking O.K.
Have re-crowned all frets. Frets are super flat as I put a lot of time into this part. Wanting to achieve low action with minimal buzz. Did I mention that I having heaps of fun? Learning heaps as I go.
