PerryL Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I'm at the point where I need to figure If it'll be a glue in or bolt on. Until then I'm at a stand still. The warlockington, is getting her pickup route done and a full neck shim today. The neck for the V may get the scarf joint today. Dunno Yet tho.

PerryL Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Nope. I'm a lazy guy and had to work the last few days and Saturday is my day off, and when I get most of my guitar work done. I don't like getting started on a project and being stopped to go to my other job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Thats cool cant wait to see more progress when you have a chance. Thanks !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) I ordered all the router templates from stewmac today and will be working on this asap. I'm tired of dinkin around with these small details and wanna get started on the meat and potatoes of the woodwork itself. The small details can get worked out in the final stages. The bodywork is my strong suit and I'm sticking to that for now and "may" purchase the neck for this one.

!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Yum!! I cant wait for those meat and potatoes !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I'm doing a flat neck for it instead of a scarf joined neck. Similar to the strat type with no headstock angle since it'll be easier and functional. I got the tools today (Whoosh) and the V and the Warloky will get minor work done tomorrow. I'll keep you all posted to progress then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Well, I seem to have gotten sidelined again. I bought some basswood today and started a Jackson Roswell Rhodes LYKE guitar in the works, mainly the planning stage and set the V to the side for a while. I'm going to center on the neck building end of things for a while as well, since the V needs a neck as well as the RResque. When I bought the basswood, I got enough for 2 bodies and I may make one like my avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javacody Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Perry, if you make a guitar like in your avatar, could you sell me a tracing of that guitar? That is a very sharp v like guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Javacody, I share well with others, I'll send you a tracing of it when I get it done. I've been planning on tracing one up anyhoo. I'll PM you when I get it done and you can gimme your address and I'll send it out. Hmmm, How could you reimburse me for the shipping? Your first born? GUITAR. Not Child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Instead of starting another thread, I decided to use this one for the RR Reverse I started. It needs trimmed up a lil bit but It was a fast body cut and will be a fast finish as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I cleaned it up a bit and need to sand and route the pickup and control cavities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-Murray Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Wow, that looks cool man. Like some guitar you'd see a guy on star trek playing. Is that your original design?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javacody Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I can reimburse for shipping. How many beers you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Cool a new flying-V I hope it works out any way any new progress yet? !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Wow, that looks cool man. Like some guitar you'd see a guy on star trek playing. Is that your original design?? If you read a few post above you will see that he said it was a Jackson Roswell Rhoads, Here one in aluminum and here one at the bottom in figured wood.

PerryL Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) this is the Jackson body NOT mine. It'll be a reverse but......Jackson would not be proud of this one. The back body wood had some bug holes in it after I sanded the profile, I noticed them. Originally, I planed to just throw it together but now it's getting interesting.

!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 So how's your first V doing any new progress or has the new jackson copy taken up all your time? !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted November 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I did kind of a dumb thing. I ordered a Jackson style neck and I'm gonna use that for the V and gonna build a neck for the RR. It's been raining the last few days and haven't gotten out to the workshop.

PerryL Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 (edited) I finally started the neck for the V today. I started with a trial piece of Scrap Maple I had in the shop and it will be fine. I'll be making a similar neck for the Roswell but Nothing is set in stone yet as I ordered a Jackson style neck that I may use on one of these.
