    i finally got some time to proceed. the body shaping was completed, chips (where i slipped with the router) were filled and everything was sanded roughly. neck pocket was routed. pictures coming soon....

    progress pics!!! because my router is broken, I had to do all the body shaping by hand with a chisel. it was a very tough job, but i think it turned out quite well. back: http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/3622/dsc001647zk.jpg still needs lots and lots of sanding and some beveling on the edges...

    this guitar is actually the greatest DIY-guitar project i have ever seen. maybe even the best one i will ever see in my lifetime great work, awesome choose of wood, nice finishing and very cool concept. I like that youve tried something very different. keep up your good working attitude and head for the next project!

    i repaired my router and continured my build... http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/3267/dsc000244hx.jpg here you can see that the wood is slightly bended. but I wanted a flat top surface, so I had to improvise... so i made sorta rail system for my router and used a medium size surface router bit to get an even surface. http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2967/dsc000266wc.jpg after the routing procedure, i got a perfectly flat and smooth surface... im glad it worked out http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/6453/dsc000294gg.jpg http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/7725/dsc000300nr.jpg next step: finishing body shaping

    the headstock. still needs some sanding http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/5965/dsc000204uk.jpg http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/5884/dsc000222qv.jpg today, I began routing the body. but because my router broke down, I had to stop before I had finished. this sucks! http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/5725/dsc000174dd.jpg this is the front side. I used a large router bit to level the body wood. still needs lotsa sanding... http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/2924/dsc000168cu.jpg

    in the last few days, I cut out the headstock shape, did the beveling with a rasp, drilled the holes for the tuners and installed the tuners. no photos yet (my sister has stolen my digicam), they will follow soon...

    nah, its his selfmade electric - it rocks!
  16. BlackZ
    I would say go for Pink. yeah, pink with gold hardware. and fur strap! pure porn!
  17. BlackZ
    see thru dark cherry red with black burst edges!!
  18. BlackZ
    ah I just found out that it is not a bandsaw, but a scroll saw: it was a very thin blade, much too weak E: i was feeding the wood very slowly through the saw
  19. BlackZ
    routing template completed. i wanted to cut out the body, but my bandsaw blade was just too weak and broke every time. got to go to the market and buy stronger sawblades.

    Basically, I say "inspired" because there never was a production Mahogany Jem, or one with a Lacewood top. Also, The neck on this thing will be killer. I like the black/purple idea. I think I'll go for that. i see black/purple is okay, but dark green/black would look cool. and use gold hardware!!!
  21. BlackZ
    "inspired"? actually it IS a JEM but its looking great
  22. BlackZ
    its http://www.drechselholzversand.de/ !

    yay, today i got my body wood. looks awesome, I like it. has some ugly water stains, but they will be no problem, wood was dried very well and professionally. it cost me 60 euro including shipping, I think the price is ok. http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/4861/woodfront0pw.jpg http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/5692/woodback1zg.jpg time for making routing templates!!

    I thought about finishing the flat top of the headstock with a black color, and let the carve just as it is. but veneer sounds nice too, would be even easier maybe. We'll see.... @Mickguard, eddiewarlock oh, if you say so, even better :D

    actually i use Microsoft Pencil "HB" version 3 and Microsoft Paper 1.0 - it works quite good.
