    Thanks David man! that means alot comeing from you its from an old saw mill thats been shut down for about 43 years and its just off bever Creek in the middle of nowere in the bush. a friend brought back the blade and he left it at my place for mounths now I clam it as my own Im thinking about makeing it in to a sign for my shop

    ok so ive got the neck on the go, fret board is glued on and ive shaped the spike on the botom of the board i start shapeing the neck in the am PICS SOON now im not sure if I want to build this body as an 8 string or a 6 string. It would be cool to have a sixer of this body style, I could use my other strat style body and make that one an 8 string

    Ok so Ive fixed the pickup hight with some new screws and Ive gone with the maple headstock and finished it all in oil. It really came out nice and feels great, I was going to leave it raw but after an hour and a half of playing it just felt odd with the wide neck pics of the back comeing soon, I cant wait to show off the BANG ON ferrules i love when they come out nice my new jig works very nice

    Ok I dug up this old thing, Ive got all the parts on the way, with this one I wount be building the neck I orderd the neck from doug a long long time ago so I'll useing that one. I'll be useing a 7-string invader and a basic hardtail string thru bridge. This will be A set neck build I will not start any new builds untill this one is done
  22. !!METAL MATT!!
    And you will have them with the pickup I need some longer screws to get the hight I want and need, also another thing i'll be working on is the strings all I could get out in ass bass nowhere was a set of 12s and 9s that I made this set in to and Im not happy with them, and yep oil was alot of easy work . I want to start doing spray finishing but Ill have to wait untill next spring to start a booth its geting COLD fast It was put aside so I could finish what I started. I'll get to it again after I finish off some stuff thats been siting for way too long
