Oh yeah I know, I have come at this hobby from restoring cars, I'm just having trouble locking down a stylistic direction for this. It's like having a nice big blank canvas and having no idea what to paint. I keep changing my mind. At any rate, it's too cold and windy to spray here at the moment so I'm doing some other aspects of the build. You can see there is quite a ways to go getting all the curves and stuff looking nice enough for paint. The laminated oak board is a pain in the arse as some of the bits are a lot softer than others and there is heaps of endgrain so sanding nice and flat (or curved) is a bti of a challenge.
Some pics, hopefully I'll have the pick guard worked out today.
Got my screws and ferrules
Lining it all up
Screws in the bridge and control plate and some real strings to confirm its all good.
Starting on the pickguard
