Hi all!
I'm back with my second proper build and first go at a neck, a semi hollow body tele inspired guitar.
Body - Vic Ash with a Queensland Maple top
Neck - One piece Vic Ash, pre-slotted Rosewood fretboard - 24 frets 25.5" scale length
Pickups - Seymour Duncan Vintage P90's
Tuners - Gotoh SGM-05C
Bridge - Haven't bought yet, but will be strat style tremolo.
Original CAD design, has changed a touch since then:
The "F hole" will be moved to the back half of the top, if that makes sense, and the pickup selector switch will be on the top horn, les paul style. The headstock is no longer upside down either.
Where I'm at now:
Progress will probably be quite slow on this one, I'm doing VCE this year so I only really have time to build on weekends.
I'm having some trouble regarding the truss rod, hoping someone can help me out here,
do I need to glue it in or does it just sit there? It's a Gotoh 2 way rod, if that helps. The cavity I've routed is a little bit big, but I've discovered a couple of piece of cardboard on the sides makes it a snug fit
Simon.
