  1. No, i just remeasured it all. IT is right. And i made the body. The bridge is just cast lower. Not a big deal at all. Case Closed
  2. All the neck measurements are off that exactly. No changes what so ever
  3. 1. They didnt show up yet, they are gold knurled knobs 2. I actually set the neck the same hieght as fender standards, so yes. But it actually helps having that at that angle, it is easier to palm mute. 3. This one is a mighty mite. Everything was actually really nice quality other than the screws. I replaced those. About the lighting, this is actually pretty close. The reason it seems dark is because with the flash on, all you saw was this orange colored blob. I did use a flash because it shows the TRUE color alot better.
  4. My guitar is pretty much finished. Im really please with the final product, it is my first build and i think for that it turned out well. I might enter in GOTM, i doubt it will win, but it would be fun any how. Please feel free to comment.
  5. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...-Pull_Pots.html I want one volume 500k pot and one 500k tone pot. Do i just order two of those? Or are those two volume pots. Explain Please
  6. So it has been a while since i posted, it is basically done finish, and polished, im probably gonna get yelled at but i only waited about 14 days after the last coat of laquer before i polish, o well it looks good right now. Pics: i still need the pickups and parts obviously
  7. OK so what i was going to do is mask off the inside of the wood and laquer the binding to seal it. But then i was going to dye it black then sand back and restain it red. Now the problem is that i am worried that when i do the sand back i will go through the laquer and then when i restain the red will shed into the binding. Will it happen? I dont know ive never finished anything like so, yah.
  8. just order a crap load of parts, Jack Neck Plate Hipshot bridge My Dyes Rosewood Veneer Maple Veneer Bridge Ferrules and more...
  9. BLING Alright, today i got some work done. I made a template that fits the neck beautifully. I then practiced the route on a 2 inch piece of pine and it fit in nicely. Snug enough that it should have good contact but not so tight im worried about the finish thickness.
  10. I got the neck!!! Ill be taking some pics tonight. Very Happy with it.
  11. Thoughts: Lots of D'Angelico and D'Aquisto styling cues there ... not sure who their influences were ... don't see how it ties in to the Lesocaster (unless it's going to be Less-a-caster ). I keep coming back to this: its like a gretchocaster
  12. nice spalt you look like you got some leveling to do on that finish though. That is the fun part huh.
  13. I just order a warmoth neck and it is going to take about a month and a half to get here so i have some time, but: How do you all make you templates? Accurate templates. I was thinking of masonite and cutting on a scroll saw but i dont think that would hold a bit well or even cut out that accurate. Ideas, tips and pointers welcome?
  14. More progress last couple days: Finished shaping tummy curve Routed out Pickup cavities Rerouted the control recess Drill pot wholes pics:
  15. no mighty might stuff. Warmoth maybe. Frets need to be in. Finish optional Maple board.
