Got the floyd and the pup routs done today. One of the stud posts was off a little so i routed out that section and glued another block in. Ill redrill it tomorrow. Apart from that it went really well

Bit more work done today. Neck taper and neck pocket routed. Nice snug fit. Ill hopefully get the pup rout and floyd rout done tomorrow

Nice to see I'm not the only one who shows off the rough stuff. I love the look of this so far ! keep it rollin like this and you'll be holding a winner at the end. Thanks mate. Its coming along alrite so far. Im sure itll turn out real nice

I got a litte bit more done today. Finished off the binding on the fb, cut the neck taper and glued the fb down. I also thinned out the headstock on the bandsaw. I cut about 3mm off each side and then sanded it a little bit. Came out perfect.

Thanks stewey. Thats something ive been wondering about..wat kind of finish is applied to a bloodwood board? Ive never used them before..I now have 4 more sitting here but because i loved the look of this one so much

Cheers Muzz. The bandsaw makes such a difference in time and quality. Sure beats using a jigsaw lol. The veneer for the binding was a pain but. That stuff is annoying to work wit. Ill hopefully get the neck taper cut tomorrow and the fb glued on..

Time for a new build. I got my new bandsaw last week. I bought the carbatec CTJ3501 14" from sydney tools. I dont know how ive lasted this long with out one. Its got heaps of power and a nice big table and can resaw up to 200mm.. Now that the bandy is up and running, im starting a new build Mahogany neck and body Bloodwood fingerboard 27.5" scale Floyd rose Setneck Not sure on pickups just yet Just got the body routed, truss rod router, fingerboard is tapered and fret slots cut. I used .5mm black veneer and .5mm bloodwood veneer for the binding. The pics dont show it too well but it came up really good

Wheres the thread?? As the name suggests, Im a bit of a fan lol.. Thats a really nice build for a first go. Put my first to shame! Those measurements you gave could come in handy too!!

Sounds awesome mate. Killer tone! Old skool offspring rule..New offspring suck haha.. Redemption is a killer song! Its my go to song to wake up at work lol

Threads of Life cd!!!!! That CD is on heavy repeat for me! Aussie and a shadows fall fan!!

Good job Muzz. Thats one really clean guitar built by a fellow Aussie! Where abouts in Aus are you from?

Didn't you have problems with the paint Floody, my man?? Pics and an explanation please. HAHAHA look what the cat dragged in!!! Long time no see old man hahaha! I did have problems with the paint. It developed some cracking.. Never got a definitive answer as to why though..Still havent bothered to repaint it. It sure plays well but lol. So where have you been daddyo?

Welcome to the club. I dont use an eq at the moment and it sounds great..Having said that, I think ill buy one soon. I seem to be reading everywhere how good they are

I guess It was you I was talking about KP. You gotta finish up that thread man! Evidently you have the progress pics, at least show us the final result! What did you end up using for the bridge? Yea time sorta got away from me. It turned out ok in the end. I used a 7 string strat trem. I think I might block the trem but cos I dont like it..Ill try post final pics tonite...Wheres the progress on this one turtles???

Ive had mine for a year and had no problems at all..And its switchable between 6l6 and el34's..and 5 tubes in the preamp compared to only 4 in alot of amps..It really is a very ballsy amp! And the quality seems pretty high to me.
