why thankyou for the comments folks

got this one finnished a while ago forgot to update the pics so here it is in all its glory

Hi all made this one a few weeks back

25.5" scale

21 frets

12" radius neck

21mm at the first fret

maple neck

walnut body

kent Armstrong pups

belly carve

walnut head laminate

signiture on the head and 12th fret

really low action plays and sounds great

Looks good! What's your finishing schedule for the tru oil? How many coats do you have on it now?

it only had about two coats in that pic its had about another ten now and its getting a really nice deep shine to it

time for a mock up of how its going to look

Put a coat of true-oil on the build , can't wait to get playing this one

been busy on the build got the fretboard on slotted dotted and fretted , carved the neck and lower horn so its easier to get to the higher frets

Looking good. I really like how the grain matches up making it look like one piece.

Does it have a neck angle? How are you going to get a good action with just the height of the fingerboard over the body plain?

its got o neck angle the bridge is a roller type i have used one before it was all thought off before the build was started

No wood was wasted its going for another build prs style

wow looks the bogs dangley bits

looks great, but not a kelly.

I was waiting for someone to spot that one it started out as a kelly but plans changed along the way into a explorer

well got a bit more work done on my axe got the wings glued on and cut to shape and sanded

will be doing some work on the finger board next , going to use black with a silver speck corian for the nut truss rod cover and sratch plate

build your own neck as well i would say, then it truely is a guitar you built

looking good

Looks good so far. Don't you just love the smell of Walnut being cut?

I noticed that the neck isn't centered in the center laminate, are you going to cut off the excess on the right side to center it?

Keep us posted on your progress!

will do when i get round to doing more work on it ,so it looks equal and central love how walnut makes me choke

Hi all started work on a kelly so a few pics for you all

timber all ready to work on set out all the positions of where things will go

truss rod and c f rods slotted into place head angled as well

neck shaped and sanded

going for all gold hardware, twin humbuckers with coil taps on them . and a true oil finish will post more pics when i have got my lazy ass into work mode

Was thinking of doing something like that

Just finished work on a hollow body guitar , I'm really pleased with the results thought i would share with you all

Got my first build together last night ,so a few pics for you all

going to put a yellow on it . i like the idea of keeping it natural but i have always wanted a guitar in yellow . the next build will be natural for sure

primer on the body

got a lot of work done so some pics for you

got the inlays in

got the frets and nut in cut and cleaned up

done all the roughter work on the body so put everything together

A few coats of clear on the neck

will be priming the body tomorrow

so i have done a bit more work on my build

bit of sanding on the neck

marked the neck out for the frets and nut

cut them with a gents saw

made a nut out of corian and glued it in place

just got my hardware and inlays will get more work done this weekend .

Nice work so far. What are the plans for finish and hardware?

I am thinking keep it simple for my first one. Humbuker at the bridge , one volume one tone . All gold hardware . Thinking yellow (as in the beatles yellow submarine )for the finish. 21 jumbo frets . Not sure what to do about the inlay's on the fret board yet any idea's anyone ! Side output jack not sure if to do the back of the neck and head yellow ?
