Got to agree with the comments above, I know how hard it is to design an original body shape, but my advice is keep experimenting until it looks cool

Darkhorse - the headstock looks great, that decal really caps it off, the non parallel Floyd is playing havoc with my OCD though. Love the crisp edges.

Monster - Mushuggah machine, attention grabbing top, tough as nails and beautifully crafted.

Solstice - my fave this month by a nose, that Tassie myrtle is making me green with envy, the headstock looks supercool, and the overall look is creamy.

So satisfying to hear and see the guitar getting played at the end of the thread, this one looks and sounds great. I would fix the position of the low E machine head, Lovely timber, flowing lines, I dig it

Cool :0)

That customer is going to be happy, fantastic strat.

Great technique for shortening the screws, I will remember that for the next time I need it.

Great job it looks fantastic

The ash looks so good

That is a blonde bombshell. Fantastic job it looks great.

Cool amp,dude..

Autumn has started down here..it's 66 degrees F here right now.2 days ago it was 104,so that's good

A nice change after the steamy ,summer, On Saturday I went into the shop and asked if they had a Blackstar 20, then asked if they had a sound proof room to try it out in. For about 40 minutes after that they probably regretted answering yes and no to those questions

Rock the joint to the lathes till the plaster begins to fall!!

That guitar came out great Muzz, and I really love the ray fleck in the maple.

It's great looking wood!

What would you guess the instrument weighs in total?

Thanks,

John

Heya John, it is nice grain isn't it, I can't capture the sparkle in photos, but the fleck does show up in a few of the pics. I was toying with the idea of putting some of this tiger myrtle veneer on the top but decided not to this time.

I just chucked it on the scales and it is a few grams over 3.5 kg, so no crick in the shoulder with this one

Cheers, Muzz

I always love the moment the first touch of clear goes on raw wood....it's like it comes to life. I never get tired of that.

Yep a magic moment in any carpentry project, It never loses its mood lift for me either

It looks killer, well done

demonix - Tasmanian Blackwood; Organic and authoritative, lovely sleek lines, you know this rocks hard.

Mine – Big Red; Lightweight, comfy and redder than Lindsay Lohan’s woman bits.

Crow – Grey; Great evolution of Tele conventions, beautiful top that reminds me of the surf and sand.

Iluvteles – The Owl and the Fox; Determination pays off big time to produce a sophisticated and dreamy axe

Manapia – The Dagda; Fantastic shape, the headstock and wavy fret board end is pure class

brutal-lv – Existo; Craftsmanship to the nth degree, gorgeous top didn’t hurt either, inspirational

andyt – Donnie24; Fantastic art on an axe, big visual impact, looks like a shredder to me

:)

I see a face in the middle of that top.

SR

Now I see it, she has very long eye lashes

lookin good

Still need to re-cut the switch channel...

Not sure if a stain will hide these or not :-\

Very neat, nice job

Black on the body really worked, pops the contrast with the green and natural strip

Spalty metal goodness

There's a cock-up. You can see the bottom of the tremolo rout. I'll never see it while playing and this is supposed to be a practice build, so I don't think I'll bother fixing it.

You should totally fix that cavity so that you don't have a gap under the bridge. Your guitar is looking great so it's worth spending a little bit of time on it. With that grain the fix will be nearly invisible. Good luck with it

So many beautiful guitars in one post

Wow, that looks great

Two things that can give a hum, copper tape on the back of the cavity cover that is almost touching the wires

or your pick up wire shielding is soldered to the back of the same pot as your negative or earth wire, if it is try soldering the shield to the tone pot or the copper tape if you have it lining the control cavity. Why not take post a pick of the control cavity

Spring has arrived in Oz

Here's one of the weed sprayer, I used to have a nice statue there but she fell to pieces last week, I'll have to look around for another

I bought a new toy yesterday to go with it

A blend of Leo and Paul

Shape looks great, craftsmanship also ace

Never Mind the Pollocks

Nice grain under the splatter
