verhoevenc Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 OK, so I never really actually finished the first guitar I ever tried to build. SO I've decided to re-visit it. I'm in the process of TOTALLY reshaping the neck (cause it was OVER an inch thick in ALL places, and starting at the 12th fret just sloped up to meet the body at 2" thick! Lets just say it was a horrible neck...), striping the hand-brushed polyurithane colortone finish and replacing it with a black nitro back and sides, and a clear over it all. Also, the TOM tailpiece never lined up right, so the strings would get knocked off if you tried to play. Therefore, I'm building my own stop piece out on ebony that'll cover the TOM tailpiece's recess hole and hold the strings correctly. The pics show how un-even the finish was (wasn't even grain filled!) and how the neck is coming along, etc. Will update as things get done. Chris PS: Word to the wize, ALWAYS make sure you're 100% happy with a neck before gluing it cause this is proving VERY difficult to reshape the neck with it attached!

verhoevenc Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Ok... is there some reason everyone is avoiding replying in my threads as if they were ebola?? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 *First reply about the Ebola guitar* From what I can see from the pics, the guitar looks pretty promising but it would be nice with more highrez pictures. The neck-pickup looks strange on this pic though. Other than that, I love the wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hahahaha, that's just duct tape holding it is, cause i didn't have screws, but couldn't remove it yet cause I didn't have a soldering gun. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
