That's Amazing ..........

Awesome neck. Speaking of necks, is that a Floral Jem neck just lying around in the background?

That would almost seem blasphemous.

Oh dear lordi no ! Thats a cheap pice of crap from china .

Its more out of the way than the norm really. I seen it on one of Ormsby's guitars and try it a few years ago and I use it on nearly every build how .

Cheers Marty ...

Cheers guys !

Might be cool on the next one to add some frets to the angled section on the fretboard.

Spot on there Rad ! I did that on another guitar I did a few years ago and desided not to do it this time around but me thinks I'll have to rectify that.

i didnt want to flood with pics ;-P

No no pics are good !!!!!!

All Done !!!!

took off the tape.I always loved natural binding

+1

No not usually Scott I'm just very impatient (That Damned Postman )

Thats amazing Fred looking forward to seeing this progressing,did you cut the jig-saw pieces yourself ?

Sure I might as well stick a few fret on I suppose !

Taped off and ready for some leveling .

After 5 or 6 coats of wax its time for the fun part.

Updates

Body sealed before I stick the neck on .

A Few coats of shellac based sealer .

Close up of the neck joint, nothing fancy just wanted the body and neck to flow ( if that makes sence )

Very nice !

Looking good Johnny .

Oh dear I like that I like that a lot.

Cheers guys appreciate that .

Oh yea Mender your not that guy in Fringe are ya . LOL !!!sorry bud couldn't resist

Fred thats some amazing work but next time post it in the ( In Progress and Finished Work )thats in the Tech Area more people will see it there and such workmanship should be seen truly amazing .

Neck profiling time just a rasp and spokeshave for this later I'll use sanders .

So heres the fret board ,this is another project guitar idea I got this time from Andy who like Rad has a entry in November's GOTM.

Board on and 16 inch raidus block ready to go .

Fred I use photobucket to upload my pic's its an easy progam to use .Just upload pic's then copy them to your thread .

[use more clamps!

Oh there was lots more clamps used that pic's was taken when I was taken a break from clamps .

Woot !!! A fellow Irish man ....
