Very nice indeed.

Thanks Sonic.

The downside is that Northern Ash is even heavier than I realized! It will be a heavy guitar.

Yeah the Shoegazer is ash and is very heavy - it does make it a bit less likely to get picked up and played. At some point I'm going to pull it to bits and machine about 6 mm off the back of it for some weight reduction.

Great work on the headstock.

Dang! that's looking good.

Nice build indeed

That’s lovely Christodav, beautiful how that has come up. Great work!

[christodav]

Thanks gentlemen.
I hope I can get a bit more done over the next few days. I really want to get the back and sides 'timbermated' so I can finish the dye and clear coat it.

Slowly, slowly.

[christodav]

Slowly slowly.

That's about 10mins after applying it.

I also want to add a middle s-type pickup. What's the best way to cut out the hole? I am thinking drill press with a forstner bit and a trimmer/router to tidy it up? The tricky part will be cutting out the hole in the pickguard I guess?

Oh and the neck is close to being finished.
