Skr4ped Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) This thing took me 6 months of not-so-steady work, and good amount of cash for high school student. But the lessons I learned were worth ten times that There are definitely some things I will do differently next time, and things that I feel like an idiot for doing this time (though I won't point them out unless someone notices, haha), but all in all I think it turned out pretty good. She plays nice, looks nice, and sounds nice, and I had a lot of fun doing it. SPECS Body Mahogany Back Flame Maple Top StewMac GoldenAge humbuckers 2 Vol / 2 Tone / 3-way Switch Schaller Strap Locks Neck Maple Neck Ebony Fretboard Jumbo Fretwire 13° Head Angle Side Dots Only Graphite Nut The neck itself is on roughly a 3° angle.

I'll have to take a look tomorrow and see if it's just the camera angle, or if the pickup is off. I had the board radius'd and slotted by LMI when I ordered it, but I did everything else.

Skr4ped Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 What is going on here? ← If you're talking about the stuff on the side, it's a bit of tung oil I missed. I have no idea how I missed it, and I didn't notice it until I took the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
