alright wilkinson locking tuners and gfs pickups got it

alright im going with wilkinson locking tuners now cause i dont want cheap ones but i dont know about changin the EMG selects do they really sound bad. if you say they do i will change it cause i dont want anything that sucks.

my brothers probly gonna want one so im just gonna turn the templates upside down i have enough wood for a couple. and what do you think the weight will be compared to this solid maple thing that i built oops sorry about double post was gonna edit it in but forgot . oh yea for pickups im gettin some cheap EMG select things off of stewmac.com cause i dont really wanna spend much money on this cause i gotta buy alot of fretting tools. and i can laways change the pickups later if i like it. this is the hardware thats gonna be in it -toploading bridge (not a fan of string throughs after last build hate ferrules) -emg select humbucker(cheap) -economy covered gear tuners(cheap) 70ish$ for the hardware probly. but thats bound to change.

yes it will be a lefty and im gonna put a tone knob in it i dont want any regrets on this guitar. i cant play right cause my left hand isa little messed up. im right handed and play lefty lol

thats the body design heres the wood http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-11-07_1602.jpg its gonna be a curly maple neck through body zebra wood fingerboard with mahogony stripes on either side of the neck the wings are gonna be walnut. its just gonna be one humbucker with one volume pot since i really dont use my tone knobs since i just started playing guitar. im probly gonna inlay my initialson the 12th fret. what do you think?

WOW that is an insane guitar great job

here it is with first coat of surf green

on some humbuckers it says they are bridge or neck but on these http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...For_Guitar.html it doesnt specify, if i bought two could i put one in bridge and one in neck

i love the white color im making another in white(this is with primer)

http://www.hardwarestore.com/media/product...15_front200.jpg thats the stuff i have its what it said to get on reranch thats the right stuff right

so i made this mistake on about tuesday is it cured enough. and by scuff what do you mean?

thank god i dont live in australia

so should i sand all the primer off and put another coat of sand and sealer on it and then prime it again, like start over completely, or should i just sand it smooth and spray again.

alright i made a mistake that i shouldnt have. i was kinda rusty with using spray bottles and i sprayed the primer on terribly. it was an uneven coat some parts of the wood are still showing. what should i do?

I made it. If you like that muffin with a face you'll like the song. Talking Muffins found on Sublimarine X i dont like it thats the scariest muffin ive ever seen

whered you get that muffin with a face

its the picture taken with my phone and the background being wood colored that makes it look like that

surf green i just put the forst coat of sand and sealer on

ok i will take a pic of it once my phonescharged i did alot of work since the last pics

i did the curves in the body and attached the neck http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-05-07_1822.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-05-07_1823.jpg

its gonna look like a tom delonge signature guitar but left handed. here it is so far neck http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-03-07_1241.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-03-07_1240.jpg Body http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-25-06_2102.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-24-06_1453.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-24-06_1431.jpg Pickguard Template(made some adjustments to it) http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-23-06_2031.jpg

i would love to get more wood but it would be hard to get some nice wood in the area

sorry about the low quality picture but its from my phone and thats all i had at the time

thanks for the welcomes awesome im number 9000 and im currently doing my first build waiting for my neck(im being lazy buying a neck.) but for a month ive been very interested in guitar building and am already thinking about project number two where i will build the neck. i found free plans for a guitar called the chicken wing and i thought it looked pretty cool so that will be build number two i have pictures of my progress on my first build if anyones interested in looking. its gonna be a left handed delonge signature fender when its finished i hope. cut out and routed out waiting for neck to come so i can make neck pocket with strap buttons and jack in http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r191/st...-25-06_2102.jpg P.S. ill take some pics of that zebra wood so you can identify it. i also have mahogany maple poplar probly and some walnut i believe oh yea and at what age did everyone start making guitars
