Works in Progress!
Hi guys! Heres a work in progress thread to show what I'm up to. Thanks again to all of you guys and especially Chris for the forum!
 Managed to get some more work done - I've got a long work session coming up next week - should have another 3 guitars ready for fretting! Drilled up Scotts controls and got the basic neck carve down - he's going to come by this week and we'll be settling on the shape of the neck.   Got Eran Segal's (Aborted) controls drilled up too. Tried to get a decent shot of hte figure in the wood - hopefully when i get the black dye on it and clear coat it it will pop.   Nick and Eran's bodies - grain came up pretty cool here.  An ash 6 we started because the blank came up a little short for an 8 and it was already on the CNC table.  Mike's SLx6 body - one of the cutters chipped so we're just getting a new one before continuing...  Prydogga's top carve all done.  Nick's new neck - it was midnight so i didn't get to fire up the router and get the headstock fully shaped.  The roasted maple on this one is super dark - it's going to look killer.  More thru the week! |

Should have a pile of more stuff incoming tonight - i just finished fretting Eran's neck and I should have another 2 or 3 necks downtown with attached fretboards for fretting. Finished up 3 more bodies on the CNC too.
EDIT: Forgot i had these pics already.   |
