low end fuzz Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i23/lowendfuzz/misc/ its a set neck with an inlaid 'pickguard' 1 tone 1 volume with 3 way its getting a coat of red sodona stain that really helps match the colour variations that i hate; the neck and body are from 2 sources and even though the body is from the same, when wet it has more of colour difference than body to neck; ah well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

low end fuzz Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 the colour variation ; imean how it looks like the body is cut from 2 different slabs; like the neck was; i dont like mahogonys muddiness and i dont trust it for necks (bass(and dont like the extra routing for reenforcing rods)) but when a piece of mahogony comes into the shop everything turns that light brown, and its impossible to keep up with cleaning; but its definatly the fastest wood to work with; after my gluing was done all this only took a little over a week and all the carving is done now; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'm covered in mahogany dust as we speak. I love the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I love the smell of freshcut mahogany in the morning. I also like sanding it and watching the grain move around as you work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) Is it a bass or a guitar!? The pickup routes are confusing. J in the bridge, humbucker in the neck. MAKE UP YO' MIND! But yeah, I like it, a lot. Edited June 16, 2007 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 its a bass Oooh, so what kinda pickups are going in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 **** ones from stew mac; i was asked to keep the cost down any way i could so i told him to go with the cheap pickups, cause theyre the easiset thing to change when he gets more money; originally he asked for a pj setup, but i showed him how dorky a pj setup would look on an sg and so we ended up w/ this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonsg26 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 thats pretty sweet looking. I dont know i kinda think the difference in color looks nice i cant wait to see how it looks when its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 just showing the set neck (with ebony trans. heel) waiting for my gf to finish "her" build and we can finish them together i decided on going with the wipe on poly for her her so its easy and for me because buddy wants a rubbed look but hes a rocker so it needs some protection http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i23/lowendfuzz/misc/ and a few more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubab0y Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 i'm digging the ebony in the heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 going to level the finish a little before i put on the last few coats; but this is comig along nicely for a project that is unlike what i usually make ie. first set neck; actually carved at the joint as oppose to a bolt on stlye that is glued; inlaid pickguard and zero fret; which im starting to dig hope it looks as nice to you i thought i was so clever inlaying the pickguard; then i visted LeCompte's site...................bastard. if anyone hasnt seen this guy, he is definatly worth checking out; such intricate creativity, on a pretty big scale! heres some other progress shots with some other ones of me standing stoned w/ my bass thanx for looking! http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i23/lowendfuzz/misc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTU 7's. Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I love the idea of the inlaid pickguard. IMO it will look better on a maple or flamed maple body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
