    Back again .Managed to find an hour tonight to do some routing. One of the problems I had was that I didn't have proper routing bits, so last week I ordered some bits, some with bearings on top of the shaft and 1 with the bearing on the end. Did a testroute for a body-mounted humbucker cavity. I used a piece of MDF that I already screwed up on to test. I also gave my router some maintenance as it didn't move up and down very easily anymore. And as always, it's such a blessing to have proper tools! It really puts the fun in it all. attached a pic of my test. It ended up a bit to big of a cavity, but it's just for test so tomorrow I'll know how to do it right!

    real classy looking! was there not enough wood to recess the round cavity cover? love the colour mix.

    didn't know it could be brought down! Next time I will! he's a great guy and he knows there will be more work for him coming, so that probably helps...

    Back again. Managed to find a few hours this afternoon to get started on my templates. A while back I hired a local carpenter to do some work around the house and it turns out he has his own workshop which I can use! this is great because having some good machinery available makes a lot of things a whole lot easier. so, today I cut and sanded my body template and got started on my pickup and floyd routing templates. I only had 2 hours, but it's a great feeling to actually get started! hopefully I can get some more time over the next couple of weeks. I'll get myself a workmate at home first so I can do some routing on the templates. Next time I'm in the workshop I can probably cut and route my actual body!

    awesome job. Interested as well to look some more at that bridge!

    looks great, good luck with the oil. Look forward to reading about your experience with that as I'll be doing the same with mine. Just got to find me a Tru-oil seller locally.

    Unfortunately I've got a few busy weeks coming up, so not expecting much progress in february. In between I'll try to make some templates for the body as well as the Edge-trem and pickup-cavities. Then in march I'll try to book a day to roughcut and route the wire channel for the pickup selector so I can then glue the Zebra top on. in the mean time I'm gathering as much information and advice as possible, so expect some questions! still not sure if I'm going to use a control plate or not either.

    looks good, nice solution this way and less drilling! how did you route the cavity cover recess? did you create a template for these?
  9. 10pizza
    Yeah! the wood has arrived! matching Zebra top, Mahogany back and Zebra veneer for the headstock! I better be making me some routing templates very soon!

    nice neck! eventhough it's not a complete build it's good reading anyway. There's always things to learn or get inspiration from
  12. 10pizza
    nice figure. If you'd put the walnut top on you would have routed a wire channel in the body I assume? Not sure where you're strap button is going to be. Maybe you could drill through the upper horn to the pickup cavity from the spot where you're strapbutton is going to be. it would need a longer piece of wood to be glued back in, but then you can cover it up with the button. it has to go through the switch cavity as well ofcourse...

    great read @Norris! question: did you first route the top and body in the exact same shape? or did you do a rough cut on the top and then routed it after glueing to the body?
  14. 10pizza
    I'm not using the standard setup so no problemen there ( I hope)
  15. 10pizza
    Great topic , thx for sharing!
  16. 10pizza
    Thanks, what do you mean with stock numbers?
  17. 10pizza
    Hmm, thinking lego humbuckercovers?
  18. 10pizza
    so, my Ibanez -customizing project has turned into a first build project, so I started a new topic. over the years I have done some customizing: routing for humbuckers, replacing a crappy trem with a Floyd, refretting and radiusing necks. Never have I built a body from scratch , so I'll categorize this as my first build, eventhough I'm reusing the Ibanez neck I have re-radiused and will be refretted. The specs: Tele - style Mahogany body with 6mm Zebrano top (ordered) Dimarzio Paf Joe and Paf-pro humbucking pickups Edge floating trem 1 Volume, 1 Tone (push pull) for single coil switching on custom control plate 250mm radiused neck with zebrano headstock finish no pickguard I've found some online plans for a Tele 72 custom which I've printed out to create a template from. have drawn the routings for the edge trem and humbuckers. The plan is to put the pickup selector in the lower horn. I'd like to find or create a nice custom control plate. Still need some inspiration for that. Here's some pics. Including one of my professional guitar parts storage. wood is on order, I'll get some MDF to make some routing templates from as well. I'm also thinking of making my own control knobs on my old man's lathe. Still thinking about a particular style for the control plate and knobs. to be continued

    congrats! finish is just like a mirror! interested to hear how it sounds. wait a minute, would it be cool to add a youtube-demonstration video for every finished guitar?
  20. 10pizza
    nice finish @PDX Rich, thanks for describing the process. If i can find Tru-oil in Holland I'll give that a go for my Zebra-caster.
  21. 10pizza
    it already is!
  22. 10pizza
    @Curtisa, I'll need to route for my Edge Trem, I can probably use the same templates in the tutorial section right? can I ask how you created these so cleanly in perspex? thx
  23. 10pizza
    allright. Ordered some mahogany and Zebrano. I'll start a new thread on this as it has now changed into my first real build
  24. 10pizza
