    Thanks Paul it's a medium gloss finish but I will be giving it a run over with my soft buff and extra fine compound to shine it up a bit.

    +1 Is it a drop top or thick enough to carve? SR It's just over an inch thick. Getting a nice carve on it. Well. I'm insanely jealous. Do make sure you keep us up to date with this one. You've been rather busy lately. SR I will when I get started. I just started a new job so I'm busy trying to please the new bosses. So I don't have cnc axis anymore. But I do have a full machine shop now. A nice mill and lathe, sand blaster too and much more. It's been hard to get time to get on here.

    I have no intention of making the top a 1" carve. I going to rip off of the bottom of each half and use that for a tele and some headstock veneers.

    I get my limba from my local supplier. They have a good selection almost all the time. But this is a 3 piece body blank I glued up from my leftovers from the Tortoise build.

    This ones for me. Specs update: Top: Burl Maple Carved Body: Black limba Back: Burl Veneer Neck: Cocobolo FB: Ebony Backplate: Ebony Frontplate: Ebony or nothing Binding front-back-neck-headstock b/w/b + Cocobolo Custom Wolf / Moon inlay at 12 fret and DS logo in headstock. Guitar Logistics pickups PAFs I think Tone Pros AVT2 Bridge and Classic tuners for this one, not sure yet. And here's a mockup of both a SC and a DC. I'm unsure still to what one I will make. But I think I'll use the Santana headstock thats in the mockup.

    You read Neil Peart's book and believe he hate his fans. Wow talk about mis understanding. Read it again. He love's his fans but hates fanatics that will do everything in their power to interrupt his life. he is a very private man, Rush is Rush and my personal life is just that personal. If he hated his fan so much he never would have returned to rush and the stage after the lose of his daughter and then his wife.

    Like I said under rated, mostly due to stupidity, meaning rushing to judge based on the vocals and image. Small minded people in this world.

    Sorry about that bro had to test the fit, thought I had cleaned out all the dust but was wrong. Wiring it up in the morning.
  16. Bionic Dave
    I love your necks. They alone inspire me to build.
  17. Bionic Dave
    Alex is highly under rated hence the reason why no one but me and you have mentioned him. under rated just like RUSH. but so is Albert Lee. fantastic chickin pickin..

    He sold his last 2 months ago and was not doing them anymore from what I remember, thats what he told me at least.

    Got my pickups from RestorationAD and the look great, also got the cavities routed out. Just a little more work on them and wiring the girl up for a test run before finishing. Beautiful Ebony Bobins Brett

    The wire you have has a rounded edge (like most) so it looks like it is not seated properly (annoying)... looking at your photos the fret job looks good. So a tip here... since the bottom of the fret has a little nib were the tang meets the top I use a triangle file and kiss the top of the slots one time before install. This is the best way to do it. it prevents chipping if you ever do a refret.
  21. Bionic Dave
    This is going to be even nicer!!!!!! Love the top and the neck.
  22. Bionic Dave
    This is going to be nice!!!!!

    GOTM # 2 Brett Fantastic work.

    Nothing on the planet is UV resistant. It may be resistant to a point, but if left out in the sun it's like everything else.
  25. Bionic Dave
    that would a good idea for an acoustic sound. But this thing is all Metal. I'm getting RestorationAD's Diablo's made for it, this thing is going to be sweet when it's done. tapping and splitting the coils
