The Fool Guy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Another new build for 2012 ??? PRS Custom 24 copy Body: Sapele (this things gonna be heavy!) Neck: Brazilian mahogany, scarf joint (not done this before so hope I don't f**k it up...) Fingerboard: Richlite (gonna give this stuff a try) Inlays: Black MOP notched diamonds or birds possibly (if I can be bothered to cut them) Bridge: Gotoh 510 Wraparound Pickups: ? Tuners: ? Finish: Shiny I though I might only get one neck out of this blank due to the fault, but as long as it doesn't run too deep, it falls outside of the blanks I've marked out Have to do scarf joints though, something I've never done before. Saw a pretty cool (and simple) sanding jig on youtube for the joins, so will probably copy that. Finally going to use the huge sapele body blank i got a year or so ago. Thing weighs a ton! Got the body rough cut. My little bandsaw really struggled with this, not looking forward to cutting the neck out That's it for now. My main focus is on getting my first build finished, so progress will be as slow as ever on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
