    Hey guys, long time to build from me there. Been busy but I made this beauty, Lady-P, as we call it with my customer. This bass was finished in dec´2011, but just a few weeks ago we decided to make a new neck for her Now when it is done and customer is satisfied with it, I decided to share the pics with you guys Features: contoured alder body with Lollar handwound vintage PB single pickup neck - no.1 maple with rosewood, no.2 slightly flamed maple 1pc all hardware is hipshot and it has simple 1vol+1tone electronic

    anyway, thank you guys. I asked this because I´ve made a sapele body and it´s too heavy (with 3cm thickness it´s heavier that standard tele body). I knocked on it and it sounds pretty bright... what do you suggest? Some "warmer" sounding top, I was considering chambering it swiss-cheese style. Or all rosewood neck to dampen the high frequencies? Or combination of any of these?

    I think the mahogany is a better choice for this kind of build. You can´t go wrong with that one. And a one amazing top you have there
  5. oblaty
    okay, let´s say what is heavy/light tele, strat(Super S) body for you guys?
  6. oblaty
    yep, the bottom right did catch my eye too, but I don´t know... It´d look better without any F-s

    & where can you find Honduran mahog in Europe?
  8. oblaty
    This finish is hard to get on ash, this guitar has a pine top

    Wow.. nice one as always is that neck flatsawn? Haven´t you experienced any stability issues with flatsawn flame maple for necks?
  10. oblaty
    Nice one! Did you roast the maple or you bought it that way?
  11. oblaty
    yeah, those knots and swirls make insane looking stuff, but on bodies. Neck should have grain as straight as possible. I don´t even like using less than perfectly quartersawn blanks (haven´t used flatsawn yet). I have seen wood doing crazy things with grain twisted like that.
  12. oblaty
    Not sure about the grain direction on the mahogany neck... besides that it looks:

    Wow... I´m making a red, maple topped tele too and I hope it´s going to look as good as yours Did you seal also the maple on the sides or you just carefuly dyed the top?

    Man, Chris that is one awesome guitar! Wish I had the same opportunity in Myka´s workshop could you post some pics of that tailpiece? I want to make one too but I have no idea how to do it
  15. oblaty
    Everyone is writing about their blanks that they are very light, or heavy or so. What is it like exactly? Is a 2.5kg body blank heavy for a sapele?
  16. oblaty
    Great job Patrick as usual. I saw these on facebook
  17. oblaty
    Looking forward to it

    Nice guits Neven I´m from Slovakia, and I order from shop.sollerguitars.com Check out prices and maybe you guys can order from there I believe it won´t be a problem.

    hooglebug - looks like very clean work, but mini guitars are nothing for me As always RAD´s guitar amazed me the most. It´s just a simple beautiful guitar. Makes me wanna build superthin superstrat really soon SwedishLuthier - nice one, love the inlays only I guess I´m just not a bass person CrazyPaint.no - great job, nothing to say, but the one piece neck-through.. I don´t know, hope it won´t move Hitone - i was considering between you and RAD, but your guitar is missing something. I don´t know, maybe Elvis playing it? Reminds me of Las Vegas, although I´ve never been to LV or USA at all DC Ross - I like that bookmatched back idea, just that upper horn looks odd to me, sorry. Otherwise nice guitar, that new owner is certainly happy with it

    Iam wood porn guy so go on Looking forward to it ;-)
  22. oblaty
    I believe that ESDictor ment "painted" like the neck has some opaque colour on it like this: Or am I wrong?
  23. oblaty
    I´m interested in that neck. Zebrawood as a neck? Haven´t heard of that, yet
  24. oblaty
    Of course I would take only straight-grained piece with no knots or any flaws in it.. Really? How about the sound of PF fretboard? I heard it is something between RW and maple.
  25. oblaty
    Fantastic work! How long did it take you to build a guitar like this?
