    Serpentine - nice clean work. Not sure of the "customer design" headstock myself, but I guess we've all done the odd "customer request" that was questionable!

    That is my default scale.

    I think the top looks great as it is. Stunning piece of timber

    This isn't 2k, this is a rubbed on by hand sealer, if I was spraying the guitar wouldn't be hanging out in the dusty workshop! But yes, 2k sticks to everything as long as the surface is prepped.

    This is how it hangs at the moment, no longer naked, now wearing a coat of sealer:

    Thanks Sancho It is turning out to be quite nice. Its a great shame that after shaping into the guitar two dark dots appeared right on the front in between the two pickups, but what can we do? Its timber. Its a 3D natural object and will always throw surprises at us. On the rear there are two tiny pinholes do small won't show up in a photo, but they line up with these dark dots.

    I had my sanding guy working on a couple guitars today getting them ready for paint. This Cocobolo Sapwood topped SS7 is one of them and it's going to become one hell of a nice guitar when its finished

    Was fretting a Wandoo fingerboard today. Such a beautiful timber.

    If you stab it into a tree it'll probably read 40%, this is because a lot of the readers will only measure up to 40% so it just shows the maximum.

    Looks tidy enough so far.

    I was thinking the same thing. I just bandsaw and then bevel with the file!

    Looking good!

    Looks like Doug posting one of his marvels scared everyone off!

    The customer (you can prob guess his name) didn't want any controls on top, wanted them underneath.

    Here is a guitar I've been working on for a while, the owner has asked me not to post pics on my facebook page, but I guess this isn't my facebook page! Anyway, here are a couple pics to give an idea what it's looking like:

    Thanks, I really hope he likes it when it arrives at his door too!

    They balance fine. Never had a complaint and Ive had guys play them on tours up and down the east coast of Australia for years.

    It's an old pine tree, possibly a hundred or so years old. Where I live is an old gold mining area so there's bits and pieces tucked away from the 1800's. Most of the old trees were cut down years before I moved into the area (about ten years ago), but this one is in an empty block next door to my house and is quite a massive specimen. No good for guitar building so I guess it'll have to do as a prop!

    With so many natural finished guitars on the market these days people seem to have forgotten how cool a painted guitar can look. Snapped these pics today:

    Can't help sorry, I've always used the flat mount versions. I tend to steer clear of TOMs.

    Must be faulty. I have a cheaper one and it works fine. A friend of mine bought one the same on my recommendation and recieved a faulty one which was then replaced. I had a conversation about moisture readers with a guy who mills timber for a living. His tester is a prong type, cost over $2000 but still only measures +- 3%. My tester is just bought from eBay for about $30 and does the job fine.

    Thanks heaps. I really should hope so, I've been working hard at ironing out flaws that my earlier builds had and things are coming together at a much higher level these days. Even the way they play is getting better and better and the consistency is now becoming less random which is always a good thing, that all comes back to working out my process rather than just winging it, so that I do the same thing over and over, sure I still experiment to find better processes, but it's all about working out what works for me.

    Automotive 2k.

    Guess you could call it a change of scenery. Or, I guess you could call it that everyone seems to order timber with clear coats. Nearly every guitar I've built over the last few years has been an order, I've had little time for project guitar or stick items. It'll come back full circle. I've got plans for solid colored builds coming up.
