    Project Marcy - Adventure Time Marceline Axe Bass

    Production has started so I thought I'd throw up some pics!

    For extra pics and more details on them try visiting my facebook album via this link:

    Note: I have no musical knowledge whatsoever. I'm making this purely from information on Google and my knowledge in CNC routers

    Too much detail?
    Thought it might be cool to show the process

    nice progress Bry, your CNC machine looks a good size !
    The shape looking great already.
    Once the prototype is built and tested you can source some nice tonewoods and build the real thing.
    36mm thick body would be about the minimum for a bass guitar I'd guess
    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

    Wow! If I had one of those machines I'd think about learning a new trade myself. Wonderful to see how this one turns out. :-)

    Awww man! I'm so jelly!

    This axe will look killer once it's Finn-ished. I should Prubs stop with the puns before things turn too sour though.
    On that note, I will end by saying this guitar will be more than:

    "Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you'll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you're gonna be rewarded"
    - Jimi Hendrix

    My Builds:
    #1: Non-PBG SG - "Purple Flame" (Getting Wired)
    #2: PBG MB-1 - "The Wasp" (Getting Wired)
    #3: PBG IB-1 - "V-Bay at Noon" (90% Done)
    #4: PBG SG-1F - (Getting Cleared)

    My Future Builds:
    PBG ES-1G Custom - "Dave Grohl DG-335 Tribute"
