Now the Nate Bass is done, dusted and demoed (see the Pit Bull Guitars facebook page for clips of my "playing") it is time to get cracking on the other three projects sitting forlornly on my living room floor. Firstly the djent-machine IB-7.
After initial pre-fit the only problem I can see is that the pickup cavities are just a smidge too tight. Rather than bend the lugs on the pickups, I have opted to open the cavities out a bit for an easier fit.
Let's see how we go.

Success, and surrounds pre-drilled! Now onto the forty days and nights of sanding...

Nice job! Either you've lucked out and found a couple of friends who'll support your guitar making efforts, or you're a top bloke who looks after his mates (or both)! - Either way, your friends are winning out - you've put together some nice stuff and obviously take it seriously.

@wokka- I'm thinking Hot Auburn with matching headstock. Not brave enough to attempt a burst yet!
@Brendan- ah, but this one is for me! I do however have a lefty Explorer in the queue which is for a friend's son's 21st... So I hope I get some nice guy points back on that...

Cool hot Auburn will look good Eliot. Haven't seen a IB7 built on the forum yet. The pickups look wider to accommodate 7 strings so maybe the pup routes weren't wide enough. Good work on the JB videos you are a talented bass player

Hey Elliot, if you look at my thread and see the burst pics that are going up today, I can post the instructions on how I did the burst??? It's fairly simple, remember that I am doing a burst for my first Wudtone project, you could give it a go, have faith in yourself mate!
Hot Auburn on the Mahogany... Nice choice.
It will come up as a very deep red- brown.... I like it
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Is the IB-7 mahogany? For the PBG2 I was thinking Carmine Gypsy....
And while you're there DB, any word on the Amaranthine?

My bad, got the IB mixed up with the PBG....... Anyhoo, the Hot Auburn will look amazing on the IB......
Aramanthine is at least two weeks away, so plenty of time for, you guessed it, sanding...YAY!
