killemall8 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Got the fretboard slotted and glued. I was almost going to go with walnut or rosewood binding on this one. Its still a possibility, but i am not sure. Pics in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelvock Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Board looks really nice man. You decided on a finish for it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks. I had planned on doing a trans finish with black grainfill. I think i will just do the black grainfill and clear it over though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelvock Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Kool, I know you we're worried about the board looking dirty with time if you left it unfinished, but I think the grain fill makes it look dirty in a good way if you get me.

westhemann Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Cool...if you put a reverse angle on the neck heel I think you could get the action back to normal.Just a tip...word to the wise and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 That's pretty flippin' sweet K. The more I see your tweaks to this body style the more I like them. Too bad you don't have that nice green background for contrast, like you normally do. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Good call.....that is just killer, Kill! (someone had to do it). Seriously, that is awesome. What did you do after the dark grainfill? You're gonna have to do another one and do the same thing to the fretboard, to see which one you like best. You've really got something here.
