    might be something like this. Thinking about Zebrano-wood top with a metal 'Zemaitis' style pickguard not good at sketching btw

    I'll follow your suggestion @Prostheta, don't feel much for copying a tele one-on-one. I'll start scratching some ideas!

    never mind, found some ( and a lot more actually) on a russian 'google' drive.

    actually I'm thinking about a Tele-style body as I am really inspired by @demonx 'Darkhorse' and I used to own an Ibanez Tele-style guitar (580T) which featured an edge trem and 2 humbuckers which I really liked. Are there any freely accessible Tele-style build-plans available?

    slow, slow progress. hell of a job. I might follow @mjrbuzz 's example and make myself a body in stead of refinishing and just reuse the neck and hardware. I'll see if I can come up with a design and woodchoices while I continue stripping...

    thanks @curtisa. Maybe people can share their suppliers in the suppliers listings, there are already some there, but those are the easy-to-be-found ones. Not to say they don't have great stuff! Sometimes you're just looking for something 'special' My old man has a lathe, I might try to make myself some custom metal knobs just for the fun of it.

    some places the underlying sealer came off as well I'm afraid so I'll just strip it. Using a heater it works pretty well.

    Thanks @Prostheta, that's a great tutorial for woodfilling anything on the guitar. I've got some supplies today, hope to get working on filling it up soon. First however I need to remove umpteen coats of paint/lacquer. the Ibanez guys in Japan weren't cheap when it comes to paint. Also it looks like a previous owner added his own finish on top, so even more layers! and yes, the arbor can easily break the neck if handled incorrectly. Maybe I can customize it with some heavy springs to counter that.......

    ALways liked oil finishes and see the wood. Good luck @bassplr19 ! @Andyjr1515 that's a brilliant EVH! gorgeous wood and finish! Did you build that yourself or did you use an existing wolfgang for that?

    thanks Raxz! based on an example I found here. Cheap as well: only 30 EUR for the press and the rest for free. Needed to stabilize the caul a bit but after that it works great!

    I'll find me some basswood then to fill it up. Started today with removing the paint using a hot air blower. Not very effective. I'll get some paint-remover tomorrow. See if that makes the job easier. thx for the advise scott.

    I've seen some pretty incredible builds on this site and on some of the guitars I can see special hardware like tuners, knobs, bridges. How do you guys get these? do you make your own? or some special shops not easy to find? I Always end up with the 'standard' stuff from the likes of allparts, stewmac or in Holland guitarsupplies, vox humana. any links available or members here that build and sell? thx!
  15. 10pizza
    great looking strat man. It looks like you just shake 'm out of your sleeve! do you have a website as well for your shop? or is it just building for friends?
  16. 10pizza
    Hey man, looks good. Already have an idea on what pickups you'll put in? And I'm still messing around customizing stuff in stead of building from scratch ( which is on my list ) to learn stuff so don't feel bad about not building yourself a neck! you can Always do that with the next one. good luck!

    nice Woods! keep us updated!
  18. 10pizza
    great guitar. Very nice finish and overall it's clear to see the quality of build and finishing. sounds good too!
  19. 10pizza
    thanks Scott would you make the piece of wood to fill the cavity level with the body or maybe a bit higher and then sand it back down after putting in putty/bondo in the gaps?
  20. 10pizza
    A request for advice: what do you use to fill up pickup-cavity holes and why? I'll need to fill a single-coil sized hole in one of the bodies. thanks for sharing!

    As said, I've been working on this already for a while, so here's where we are right now. One body has been stripped and is now with my dear friend who also finished my Mosrite for me. He's going to paint it white, after which it will go to another friend of mine and artist who makes/designs clothes/belts and stuff (see pic). She'll make a nice custom art finish on top of it, after which it will go back for lacquering. the other body is still to be stripped and prepared for finishing. I've found a company in Holland that do chroming of wooden objects, so I'll give that a try. One neck has been stripped from frets and thanks again to the tutorial on this site I've created a 250mm radius sanding block and sanded the radius of the neck to 250mm. I'm going to wait with the other neck until I've done one guitar. It might be that I want to make changes. Also with help from this forum I've created a fretpress. I've made a 250mm caul out of stainless steel. And based on a video on youtube my dad created a nice fret-bending tool, it's in the same picture as the fretpress. some pics attached.

    Time to start a new topic after finally finishing my Aria/Mosrite project last year. This one comes with a story. A long, long time ago somewhere in the lowlands I got my hands on an Ibanez JS10th guitar, aka Chromeboy. I'm a big Satriani fan and really like the chrome finish. It also played like a dream. Really great neck, great versatile sound and the Edge trem setup was superb as well. However, I somehow don't feel comfortable to play very expensive guitars like that so a few years back I got the idea to build/customize my own JS type guitar to keep it relatively cheap and ofcourse have fun doing it! To that purpose, I've picked up 2 Ibanez R440 models. Which are almost identical in shape to the JS body and also made of basswood. The goal is to create 2 JS type guitars out of these: 1 Custom art JS2400 style JS and 1 JS10th style in chrome. To that effect there's some work to be done: Changing radius of fretboard and refret with 6105 fretwire Filling up and routing of one body for HH-setup and one for HS - setup I already started with some of it, which I'll post below. As I've had this idea for a long time, I've had some time to collect hardware needed: Dimarzio ProTrack and MoJoe pickups for the custom art JS Dimarzio PafJoe and PafPro for the chrome JS Push pull pots and electronics 'New' used Edge as one of the two I had was not in the best shape anymore Fretwire

    nice Project and great looking wood! Curious how that neck is going to look when finished!
  24. 10pizza
    better picture of the headstock
  25. 10pizza

    The neck.
    Removed the frets to sand the fretboard into a 250mm radius.
