BCS1980-UK

I didn’t have time to work much on the guitar. All the components have arrived now. I am loving the bridge and tuners: I have also sent the template designs to be CNC cut:

Absolutely Bizzman! You are spot on. I actually looked for an Ibanez template for the silhouette but couldn’t find a good one.

No other reason apart from ‘I find the aesthetics really cool!’

Hi Bizman, I actually have a template of the Jr. Double cut. But I don’t like the ‘flat, perpendicular angle the wings join the body. I intentionally decided for a flat top and no neck angle (hence the teleish bridge). It would be too much for my skill leve to add neck angles and caved top. It might be too much as it is, now.

Hi Charlie, thanks. Knobs are intentionally ‘out of the way’ as I usually don’t touch them while playing.

And here is the neck blank glued

These are the woods:

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well and safe. New member here from Essex-UK (originally from Brazil). After successfully building three partscasters (two tele-style and one LP-style), I decided it was time to be more adventurous. So, I decided to start my first build from scratch. My concept is a light chambered neck-through double-cut, single p90 with a slotted headstock (similar to the B&G little sister). The silhouette is a double cut inspired of the Gibson Les Paul (I mirrored the horn side). The body will be cherry with a walnut top. The walnut I have is quite thin (4mm) so I will laminate it with maple (2.5mm). For the neck I laminated maple, wenge and padauk. I am coping the profile of my 2017 Eastman T64: slim taper with 1 ¾” nut Half Tone 90 P90 (neck) by Bare Knuckles. GrandTune Classic Hauser (without guide bushings) with snakewood buttons. Schroeder TL Half-Bridge One volume (500K) and one tone (500k no load). 0.22uF capacitor. I started this in October by is progressing slowly because: (a) I don’t have a workshop and work in a friend’s house (b) I have a full time job (c) I am writing my masters degree dissertation (d) I have 5 months old twins (e) All the above. I hope to finish it before fall.
