As always Simo, your work is super clean. KUTGW.

Man that wood is lush!

I have come to a conclusion: I hate sanding. And I hate spraying. And I hate waiting for stuff to cure. I also hate newspapers sticking to your coat of red paint. Besides that, I hate seeing guitars on fire but if I don't get my anger out on something else, this one will have it.

UPDATE: Today I wired all the stuff that only requires the controlplate to be assembled and applied some porefiller to the body.

I live in Norrköping.

A coverplate won't be neccessary now that I took my time and redid the holes, they look good now. I don't know if a couple of ferrules can look great?

Just tried stringing it with the outer strings and the alignment was...not so good. It was if I pushed the strings around a bit though so I'll make grooves in the saddles, then it should be just fine.

Man that is sleek looking, awesome bass!

Things I got done today: Mounted the tuners Testfitted the bridge Drilled holes for bolts in the neckpocket Enlarged the holes in the control-plate Drilled a hole for the input-jack Drilled holes for the string-ferrules (actually looks good now ) Wire everything up Mount the neck Shape the nut Make a pickguard Finish the guitar The guitar is supposed to be done the 4th of April so I think I'll make it. I've

No not really but I could ask the local luthier/repairman if he could go through my guitar.

Thanks for the kind words . And yeah I feel that I've learned alot and I've sorta come over my fear for power tools .

Time for an update! Things I've done the past weeks: Routed all the cavities Routed the neck pocket Put a roundover the body Re-drilled the string-through holes (they came out nice and straight now ) To do list: Drill alot of holes (connect cavities to the control cavity, neck, tuners, input jack, pickguard, bushings etc. ) Pore-filling and sanding Lacquer At least it looks like a tele now!

That would be the FR Speedloader .

I don't know about you but I would have stopped at the secondary color addition and then used gold hardware + white pickups. It would have been the most pimping strat I'd have ever seen. Keep on rockin' Drak!

I'd use some chemical paint remover. Also, I'd convert the headstock to the usual Strat kind because I really hate the look of the Roadstar series headstocks .
