jaycee Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 This was an uncomfortable time, it's the first time I have done this and as the Bass isn't for me I was a little unsure. When I started to sand the edge off I wasn't very happy with it, but it started to look better when I worked with the grain by hand, up until that point I was using a drum sander in a drill. Got onto the back with 220 grit on the orbital and a little tidying up by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Fretted this morning. I put some titebond on the tang and put pressure on the fret ends just in case they want to pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scherzo1928 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Oh I'm liking this build a lot. I got an idea for a guitar that involves some serious chambering, and this thread is giving me ideas on how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Oh I'm liking this build a lot. I got an idea for a guitar that involves some serious chambering, and this thread is giving me ideas on how to do it. Cheers scherzo, I pick up a lot of ideas by just reading the build threads, using the templates for the chambers is something I would allways do on future builds. Anyway Neck is completed, just needs the varnish put on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaycee Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I have 2 weeks to finish this. Just the electrics to wire up, bit of sanding on the headstock, make a truss rod cover and put it together. Got the ferrules put in this morning, flush mounted.

jaycee Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 managed to get some pics before it was whisked away by the new and very happy owner........My first commisioned build so it was strange to let it go. It looks washed out in the first few pics but the later ones shoes it's true colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Thank you SR. I made sure that if I wouldn't happy with the work if it was being built for me, then it wouldn't be good enough for anyone else. And I got paid for it today.
