This is my latest Non-PB build. Just finished it yesterday after starting approximately 74 days ago.
It was a strat body routed for a vibrato that I block filled with Tasmanian Oak and drilled as a hardtail. In the right (or wrong?) light the block is slightly visible but not too obvious. I'm happy with it overall.
This build had a couple of detours along the way, but each challenge was a good learning opportunity. The finish job on this one was my first time spraying with a gun (kudos to those members that offered me advice when I was shopping for spray gear a while back). The finish isn't perfect but it's more than okay and a big improvement over my previous rattle can finishes.
Here's the specs/details:
Mahogany body finished with Holden "Poison Ivy" and clear coated (both Dulon Ac/Lac)
Realtone hardtail bridge with s/steel block saddles
Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups
Fender 5-way switch - standard wiring
Alpha pots with Gibson-style knurled speed knobs
Switchcraft input jack
Maple/Maple neck (stained with custom blended analine dyes)
12" radius (re-radiused from 14")
Re-fretted with medium jumbo fretwire
Jin-Ho tuners
Bone nut
Oh... and it plays and sounds GREAT! One of my best playing builds to date.
