JimF Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 100% Same thing with me. It gives you the larger gap between pickups a 22fret guitar has but visually looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) More routing and messy shenanigans in the Kemp workshop today. Started working some more on the competition winner build which is a Korina DC 6-string with Floyd and Seymour Duncan HSS pickups. Edit: and only 24.75" scale length, not something I do often. First up, some sawdust ... All cleaned up... Edited December 12, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, think about it. If you take your car to a garage for new brakes and it takes them an hour, they charge you £40 labour. If you take your car in for a new radiator and it takes them two hours, they charge you £80 labour. At which point, I'd be wishing I was a mechanic See what I'm getting at 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Warning: Pic heavy post Hope you're all having a good weekend. I've been wiring up some Fishman's and finished this wild beast... Full spec: 6-string DC with Leopardwood neck-thru-body, Alder body (wings), Leopardwood top with Ebony laminate, Pale Moon Ebony fretboard, Gotoh 510 Series tuners, TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge, Fishman Fluence Modern pickups and Tru-Oil finish... Sorry, I know it's more pictures than usual in one go... Hope you don't mind Edited December 12, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 My philosophy is the more pics, the better. That leopardwood looks amazing, particularly where it is carved. It should be illegal to leave it flat. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, the carved areas do look particularly good ☺ Not a wood that crops up too often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Indeed. How do the eyes work? Do they tear out easily like Oak rays or are they in place pretty firmly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had varying results on the planer. The neck blank was fine, without any tearout, one side but quite bad on the other. I didn't put the top anywhere near anything other than sandpaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
