They definitely looks better with the inlay off centre !!....

Yeah the issue is that as I’m doing a 2+2 having a fender type string tree I think will look odd I could use a bar type string tree which would look ok Thats what I thought but I just wanted to check

All I’m concerned about is the strength of the joint? Also It just seems like a lot of work instead of fitting a £3 string bar but I think it will look better tho??...

The neck I’m thinking of buying is a full paddle flat headstock and I want to do a 2+2 tuners, so do I need to angle the headstock? I don’t really want to use string trees What would be the best way of doing it? my thinking is modifiying the neck like this or is there an easier way?

I just wish my knob was that big!!!

I’ve been looking at body timber/finish options for this build and I’ve decided on Red Grandis body (because I can get it very cheaply) with White Macassar ebony veneer front and back...... Or Pine body with Wenge veneer front and back (cheaper option).......in case you haven’t guessed I’m looking for a nice contrast Then probably a wipe on poly finish

Im sure you don’t really mind!! I think swifts on top and maybe some MoP filigree round the sides!!

I thought you never take the easy option!!.....

Very nice!!! TBH I’m not keen on the MoP inlay but each to their own

Yeah it was fun building it but it was just a test that didn’t turn out quite right for me so I’ll have to wait and see if the new shape/size is better

No your right I wouldn’t!!!!! Any more of that talk and I will report you!!!!!

The body is just too small it feels like Im playing a uke (one of the reasons I would never buy a violin bass) By the time I had tweaked the template to fit the ibby body it worked out about 30mm top and bottom smaller and about 25mm shorter than the original body

Why would you say such a thing!!!!! The example looks nice......

I’m going to remake the body on this as the shape and size doesn’t feel right so I’ve decided on doing a Fortress style instead of a corvette I’ve done the template it was going to be a P J but I’ve changed my mind and just reuse all the hardware I’m probably going to change the colour from white as my Streamer build is going to be white but I can’t decide on what colour as yet?....

Just getting started on my next build a pine bodied Streamer style The blank is all glued up just got to sand it flat, template done aswell I’m going to buy the neck off eBay as this is going to be another budget build..... Hopefully the finished build will look a bit like this....., But it won’t have a 2 part bridge..... Also I’m going to be remaking the body on my Ibanez GSR205 modification build to a Fortress style as the body shape and size is too small (It doesn’t feel right to play) but I’ll resurrect that thread and post the progress on there

I’m just seeing an Angry Duck!!

This is shaping up to be a fine looking guitar!!

Looks lovely!!...Definitely a better choice than tort!!.....

Ok just wondered..... there’s loads of maple veneer on eBay tho....

The headstock looks really nice with the grain showing through but why did you buy beech veneer not maple?....

Sorry I was a bit behind on the thread it didn’t load page 3 till after I posted I do like an ebony fretboard so it will look good either way!!......

I reckon the lighter fretboard contrasting with the body looks good better than the ebony....

I just found this...., https://www.avforums.com/threads/crackling-speaker.248342/

The only other reason I’ve found is to do with interrupted power which can cause crackling??
