jowilmei Posted July 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Having stole this neck off a free plywood s-style from craigslist. I had previously bought a piece of basswood that went unused, so this will be a great use for it. Not really sure what the story is with the drill through on the neck, but I think some extra fret markers will cover it up and give it a unique look.

After giving it some thought, I ditched the idea of reusing this neck. I just know I will never be satisfied with the results. So, I am making my own. Nothing special though, QS maple with birdseye fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jowilmei Posted November 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Here is the body. I found some old sycamore drawers with awesome figuring on Facebook for $10. Decided to use this drawer bottom as this guitars top. Having tested a piece with India Ink, the grain shows through in a really interesting way that is way cooler than the simple black I had in mind.

Oh yeah, I guess I should have mentioned that this will have Mustang electronics. Right down to the funky toggles and out-of-phase combinations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went super easy on the comfort carves because I am afraid of neck dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jowilmei Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 So I've got the neck made with truss rod channel cut. The spoke wheel hole is not the prettiest but it looks clean, unlike my first attempt using a Dremel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
