bob123 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 looks cool man, you gonna be doing a veneer on the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I dont think there is any need - 80% of the joins on top are covered by the scratchplate. i would have if it was a non-scratchplate version, mainly to hide the plug for the middle pickup route, but the scratchplate makes life a lot easier - dont even need to both plugging that route anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WezV Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 got the plate cut its clear so it can be painted half black/white on the back not perfect yet but getting there it meant i could transfer control locations and route the control cavity. also added a rout to the side of the lower fin for a strat style jack socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Wez is in the house! Toddlers do take up a bit of time don't they? It goes fast though, she'll be in school before you know it. You have got a mighty fine paint guy. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Well i moved away from working in schools as well so lost all my holiday time and even have to work 1 in 3 weekends. Now free time is evenings and 2/3 of the weekends, much more valuable as family time. Thankfully she seems to like her musical instruments so we should start to be able to combine these things soon enough. guitar was one of her first words should have a few guitars finishing within the next couple of months, and hopefully even a promotion which will mean more money and no weekend work i am also doing a bit of whittling and am on my second batch of homebrew after a very nice first attempt paint on this one is by mike lennon. took him a while, but he got it spot on right and that is what i care about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hell, mine is 28 next month. He's still teaching and loves the summer time off. He schedules something for nearly every single day though.... Whittling huh? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 well, i have been away from the workshop a few times recently so i tend to take a little carving set and some small chunks of wood. nothing i would want to show off yet but it keeps my hands busy the homebrew is much more successful. bottling my second beer tomorrow and i have gone for my own recipe this time which seems very promising so far. Its a golden single hop beer, just cascade hops (think sierra nevada) with a touch of english thyme from the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WezV Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 getting there... might change the knobs for white and also something else i am finishing up, I hate planet waves tuners when assembling guitars - that is why a string is missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 getting there... might change the knobs for white Nice. Black would fit the pattern too. You might give them a look for comparison too while you're at it. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I agree - black knobs for pattern consistency. Maybe even black strat knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 it will be white strat knobs as per the original schenkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
