I know the body is rounded, but have you thought of a veneer through the guts of the guitar.

Oh and Stan - I'd better start deleting some of your old threads and keep you under the "Overlord of Music" title - don't want Wokks to be ursurped !

haha, I might make it to Overlord, but I'll never catch Wokka!

@Brendan - the veneer is a great idea. i might look into that!
@Stan - i better make a couple more posts so I can creep closer to overlord myself :P .

cheers,
Gav.

you're not far off Gav!

And pretty soon you will have built one of each kit - Overlord of Construction!

haha go for it Stan and Gav, more Overlords the better. My next goal is 5000 posts and hope to get a new tag for that !

hi guys,

The kit building has slowed down of late as I'm in training for my next karate grading. The upshot is that there has been little to no progress on my two builds. However, yesterday I received a custom scratchplate from Pabs for my ash mosrite, so I just had to spend an hour looking it over a re-routing the control cavity to fit. You see, the plan is to swap out the stock pickups for some P90s - to be specific a pair of Entwistle X90s, and Pabs has created the perfect scratchplate for it! It fits perfectly, looks awesome and the P90s seem to be positioned perfectly with respect to the neck and bridge. I havent done a mock build with them installed as yet, but by eye it looks perfect to me.

I'm planning a poor-mans tobacco burst, with walnut timbermate to pop the ash grain and finished off with the white scratchplate. I hope it's going to look as good as it does in my head .

cheers,
Gav.

looks awesome Gav, good to have you back !
nice job on the pickguard Pabs as always.
What colour is it Gav, Black or white ? looks white from a small tear off of the adhesive paper

[gavinturner]

Yep white Wokks. Thought it would look best with the tobacco burst. kinda like this..



cheers,
Gav.

yeah looks good Gav, a black pickguard may have looked too dark

[andrewdosborne]

Looks like another awesome build in the making Gav!
