low end fuzz Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 update body rounded over palm rest tummy cut neck pocket routed and heel fitted theres my lil racing stripe that i want to start doing again on unfaced haedstocks; i screwed up alil by sending the entire length of the neck through the router for the truss rod on the first pass; (that lil square under the fb add-on) but im doing my inlay there cause theres no room at the top; i was torn whether to do it there or on the heel cap, but it made my mind up for me.

low end fuzz Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 body is all routed, grainfilled and inlaid (faux pickguard) and no it dosent look like a cavity cover......... the neck is all fretted and awaiting some leveleing that should have been done if not for a serious case of A.D.D. i decided to bran my logo i the front as opose to a removable heel cover and the headstock will get a brass serial stamp ; if for no other reason to be different. the colour grainfill was a bitch to match to the padauk (which is gonna change in a year anyway!) and when i rushed it on it was athousand degrees and was not very cooperative in the sqeegeeing phase, so there was alot of sanding; it never bothered me with clear fill but this was another beast; both trying to get off excess w/o removing to much and making sure not to sand voids; must practice and fix air conditioner; next post should be a finished product, or an update of disaster. grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Looking funky! I haven't seen a take on a pickguard like that before and I think it looks pretty cool. Can't wait to see it all finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
