prs man Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 good looking nice choice of woods I say looking at the last picture the neck tenon is into both pickup cavities. how long is your neck tenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Man, that has to be the ugliest POS I have ever seen. I'd take a water soaked piece of MDF colored with crayons over that thing. LOL Just kidding, that is an amazing looking guitar. The wood choices/combo has to be one of the best I've seen, if I had all the choices in front of me and money was no object I believe that it would look something like that. And it's so amazingly clean, your work is top notch all around, very nice stuff man, thanks for making us all feel worse about our work. Jason PS: I see a wicked volute back there, can you PLEASE get me a pic if possible, even if it is still just rough shaped. I just want to get a feel of how to place mine and see different shapes and sizes of them from different builds. Thanks and again amazing stuff!

jmrentis Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Friggin Sweet! Thank you for doing that, I greatly appreciate it, it is a very nice looking volute. They are something that I never put much thought to, but always knew I would use one, so I needed some reference for basic placement areas and size. That pic helps a lot thank you. Please do tell us when you have your site going, I would like to check it out for sure. Thanks again and keep them progress pics coming.
