No not really!! Im stuk in bed untill i get over this chest cold

a neck pickup? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH METAL MATT?

HAHA even the pickups are a bit odd for me

I think that looks Like Burn marks from the CNC maybe

You know you want to!! you have a nice flowing design that Grinds to a halt at the Heal of a fender neck.

I really think a 3X3 headstock and a nice flame shape coming off the fretboard would look bad ass, Also ebony board

I really like this idea and the Body looks Good, but that neck is just lacking. the heal is to round and its a fender headstock

But all in all very nice Axe

Well Ive got a few that I need to get done first, but soon Ill be on this one like White on rice

P.S Blood Wood and Paduk smell the best, Rosewood and zebrawood some of the worst

Ok glued the neck in and Now Im doing a bit of sanding and than off to paint, White with Black bevels

Pics Soon

Man, great job!!! I wish I had 1/2 of your ability!

Thanks Man!! Most people have the ability its just a matter of learing how to put it to good use

Im Still learing as I go just Like every one On this Forum.

So Ive goten the tuning Peg Holes drilled out and Ive just about got the Neck finished it should be ready to glue in soon

Ok so neck is roughed in and starting to come toghter, also got the Pickup routs done

Ok Ive Got alot work done on this build!!

Im going with a flamed maple set neck , I just glued on the fretboard

Now what color should I paint this one?

pics soon

Well I will be doing some Carving to this one, there was a small crack on one edge of the guitar so I just went ahead and started shaping it out,

Well thats true!! the end grains and edeges of this stuff looks Super bad ass I just dont know if this design lends its self to that much rounding over, but maybe

i think bocote smells like pickles not that bad, but i wouldn't say it smelled nice either

I guess that depends on wither or not you like pickles

How heavy is it?

not tooooo bad but its not a light one

how expensive is it???

Its up there!! 29.00$ a bord foot

How is the dust?

Its bad but the zebra wood is the worst!!! that stuff stinks and my blood wood is the best it smells like cinnamon I love cuting it my whole shop smels like Christmas baking

Also watch the splinters as they go septic easily

This is very true, I was also told thet a Wenge Splinter has Small Barbs like a fish hook and thats why they Hurt so much and can be a bit hard to pull, and the wenge Splinters very easy. So any one thats going to try this wood for the first time just watch for these things and you will be just fine

Well theres no saw in this town that could slice off a top from this stuff, so Im still up in the air on this build

why not try a different shape? Expand a little

you dont seem to know me that well lol if anything I do WAY to many designs and thats only a few ive done

I don't believe these guitars are for himself

Thats right most of whats on my bence will be going to Axe Music for display and sale, They have my 8 string now and its been a huge hit. And after Axe music I have 2 Guitar shows to do one in saskatoon and one in my Town of Cold Lake, It should really be alot of fun

Hey I just wanted to Post a link to the Build thread of this Beast

It still needs to be sanded to shape and leveled, because its soooooo damn heavy I will be either doing this one up as a Hallow Body Or a Super Thin, Time will tell

How heavy is the bloodwood, a lot heavier than purpleheart?

Its WAY heavier, its like packing around a Big fat frozen turky

The other body you spoke about is it a combo of Wenge and Zebrawood? Because that sounds like a WICKED combo that should look killer

Oh no thats 2 bodies, One Wenge and one is zebrawood

When I was out look for some nice Ziricote for fingerboards, I ran by some beautiful Wenge and really fell in love with that wood. It never piqued my interest really here at PG for some reason and I saw quite a few projects from all you guys, only once I saw and felt it in person did I really come to appreciate it as a wood. Beautiful stuff really.

Im really in love with the stuff!! the grain on the body is wild, but man the slivers SUCK

Make a super thin out of it.I would go 1 1/4" thick total...then make the control cavity big enough for two volume,2 tone...and use two pickups...

That might get you down to around 7 or 8 pounds.

trust me..if it is too heavy you will not play it...

I was thinking about that, Plus I could do a big bevel front and back

I like that mahogany one man!! that one looks like something I would like to own. its just my style, Good Work man
