Duff Beer Man Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 My cousin saw me building my jem and decided he wanted one. He has never built a guitar before, he asked me to help him. Here are the specs of his. Ibanez Jem: Rosewood fretboard w/ some crazy inlay in it (he is buying it pre inlaid) Birdseye maple neck Ash Body Dimarzio or seymour duncan pickups Flody rose (not sure if cheap or pricy yet) Some paint job that he wants to do. So far we have the body cut out and tomarrow we will cut out the neck and i will post some pics. He let me be the ginny pig and make all the mistakes first so he didnt do the samething lol, jerk.... ill keep ya posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Beer Man Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Alright finally got some new batteries and took some pics of the body. Now i know what ur all going to say, yes there is some black substance right by the pickup cavity. The substance is fiberglass resin. It works perfect for fill parts of the wood that tore out. This happened to have tore out when we were routing the pickup cavity. Also, more is going to be taking out of the pickup cavity thats why there are drill holes.

Guitarfrenzy Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Nice grain pattern on that Ash, that's gonna be one beautiful guitar once you get it done. Just curious though is that Hard Northern Ash or the light weight Swamp Ash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Beer Man Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Well, i was wondering the same myself. The wood store just called it ash. I however do believe i heard the guy say northern ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
