Woltz's 3rd Scratch Build

[Rabbit]

And there's "Mountain ash", which is also often sold as "Tasmanian Oak"

Assembly time. Need to file a small amount off the pickguard where it goes around the bridge.

Nice. Love the grain on the body. The dog isn't very impressed though!

So you've decided to keep it?????

Looks great!
And those are your own wound pickups too, yes?

I'm still on the fence about keeping it because it's probably going to get very little use.

Yep these are my own wound pickups, very curious to hear them for the first time!

It's quite stunning. I still reckon if I was in Canberra I would have been tempted to take it off you.

That's a shame. Maybe you could mount a chin rest on the backside and make it a 6-string fiddle!

All hardware now on. Time for a weigh in.



And for those of you who speak the historic language of pounds and ounces.



A couple of shots from today. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow when there is a bit more light.





I just need to level and crown the frets then I can string it up.

Very nice work, looks great.

I'd have to fit some fretboard markers, not just side dots, if it was mine; but that's just my preference.

Under 3kg all fitted out is pretty good going?
