    Congratulations on the win Zen! Amazing looking guitar! Nothing about it I don’t like
  2. ShatnersBassoon
    Congrats Nicco! Fabulous looking build and very characterful! (is that a word? It should be ;))
  3. ShatnersBassoon
    Nice modern design! I really like the headstock. There’s a guy that makes aluminium necks that does something not too far off from that (Alef?) Anyway, really cool so far…will be following with interest
  4. ShatnersBassoon
    Congratulations Zen! A fabulous looking guitar! Very classy
  5. ShatnersBassoon
    I especially like the finish. Really shows off the top!

    Used Magic Wood quite a few times now. Probably my favourite seller, never been disappointed.
  7. ShatnersBassoon
    Superb modern take on the Tele Mike! Congrats!

    Congratulations on the win Jolly! Great entries as always, but it was just too cool for me to resist!

    Congratulations on your win this month! A marvellous build! Classy, elegant and yet funky, all in one! Very nice indeed.
  10. ShatnersBassoon
    Gorgeous as always! There’s something about the bevelling on the edge of that fretboard that really tickles my fancy (she said)
  11. ShatnersBassoon
    I have given that a thought and do have possible contacts. Just have limited time these days to work on things. We will see
  12. ShatnersBassoon
    Well it is a build for myself (at the moment at least) so I may well go down that route
  13. ShatnersBassoon
    Shaping up really nicely! Definitely got a cool look going on there. Nicely done
  14. ShatnersBassoon
    Done some shaping of the back and an approximate test fit of the frets. So far so good. Trying to figure out a finish for the aluminium fretboard though. It scratches really easily. I suppose I could do epoxy. Thought about CA glue too? Not sure that would work but may try out on a test piece of metal. Maybe I don’t need a finish on there at all? Hmm. Suggestions welcome.

    Congratulations! A truly amazing looking guitar! Sleek and beautiful
  16. ShatnersBassoon
    Truly beautiful work! I would be tempted to think of the filled in gap as a feature Still have a piece of olive wood lying around that I have yet to use. Hmm…
  17. ShatnersBassoon
    Slow progress at the moment but had a change of plan…this may turn out to have been a foolish plan but we will see how it goes. I have tipped the neck on each side and filled in the bottom sections with epoxy. Thinning the neck whilst not melting it will be the main concern now.
  18. ShatnersBassoon
    Saucy! Beautiful work
  19. ShatnersBassoon
    Looking great! I love Wenge
  20. ShatnersBassoon
    Congratulations Ash! Gorgeous guitar, but then I wouldn’t expect anything different based on your past builds
  21. ShatnersBassoon
    Now I am the owner of a Schaller 3D6 bridge, some Perspex/lucite (picked up from the car boot sale for £5!) and an EMG M50 (mini bucker). Will be making the Perspex the required thickness with some acrylic ‘cement’. This will be on the ‘wings’ of the body. This is starting to take on a Travis Bean mixed with Dan Armstrong vibe will update soon when I get some more photos
  22. ShatnersBassoon
    Thanks for the advice there! Great to know. I’ve been quite shy about the idea of moving the router anywhere close to the aluminium
  23. ShatnersBassoon
    Thanks so much Jay
  24. ShatnersBassoon
    Great entries again this month. Ash’s build in particular is beautiful work
  25. ShatnersBassoon
    Yes, there’s no truss rod. It worked in the last build so I’m trying it with this one too There’s the fretboard section that is going on top which is another carbon fiber and aluminium sandwich, so I’m not too worried about tension issues, it’s always at the back of the mind but it should be fine I reckon. In terms of routing, that would certainly be a lot of work No tenon, it’s just a bolt on design.
