cheers G-axe, the fretboard is way wider than the outer string spacings will be (about 55mm at bridge), the neck/fingerboard is just under 80mm wide. It doesn't matter how wide it is as it will be a slide only axe

got the project finished yesterday, assembled, wired and strung up. The pics were taken just before the first test run. Needs some setup but happy with the early sounds ! Tuned to drop A tune so the low E string is tuned to G - nice and low ! I've got baritone strings on gauge 0.014 to 0.068". I had to drill out the bridge string holes for the E and A strings they are so heavy. Even the G string is wound !
It's great to hear the difference with the 3 pickups sounds a fair variation in sound. I might even upgrade the pups from stock PBG ones to some hotter ones.

I've put a temporary bone nut on. I've got a wider blank to slot the strings a bit wider. Once I've got it set up and some different open tunings I'll post a video.

Gorgeous Wokks, can't wait for a sound demo. What pickups are in it? PBG specials?
cheers,
Gav.

Looks great! Can't believe how quickly you've turned it out. Looks like an absolute beast, but I guess you're not slinging it off your shoulder. Love your countertop too.
Yeah... liking that!!
I do, however, take issue with the ".... it even has a wound 3rd!!"; I use, and have used a custom set of EBs with a wound G for absolute eons!! I hate the clanging sound of a plain G....
"If it's Blues music in a bar and it helps people swallow their drink of choice, or it's a dance song and people get up off their chairs and shuffle their feet, or it's a Jazz tune and the Chardonnay tastes so much better... then it's all good."
