discreet Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1331582098' post='1575366'] Here's a new picture with the scratchplate, it looks a bit jagged because it still has the protective covering on it, but you get a good idea of how it's going to look. [/quote] Ha! Was just fantasising about a new build with this shape scratchplate after seeing that Hamer Cruise in the For Sale section today... great minds, eh?

Rumple Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 You know what Mark I came up with that scratchplate idea, I thought I was being original I had no idea it had been done before I really like that Hamer that's for sale, small string spacing, 5 strings, green hmm....

EmmettC Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 That's looking great, I really like the burst, looking forward to seeing it finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 It's been a while since I did an update on this so here goes: Due to some cracking in the finish meaning the lacquer on the body needs to be re-done I'm changing my mind on the final look, although there is a lot of patching on the applied veneer and they will show I'm going to have a much smaller burst next time so more of the teal stained veneer shows. So a minor problem I think will result in a better looking end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I thought I'd post this picture from Lawrence of WIP on the body, it now has a 1mm epoxy cap on the top, this should stop any reaction between the tops vaneer and the final finish. I really like the way the brown bits show through the staining and have high hopes it's going to be stunningly unique when finished.

Rumple Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Not a lot to report on this at the moment but I did pick up a Wizard PJ set of pick-ups which will be a lot better then the original one's I supplied to Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Unfortunately I can't upload pictures to the site any more, I still have space left but it just fails to upload I've decided to put Status half wounds on instead of the EB rounds, I've got a set on my SR5 and really like them. Lawrence thinks it should be finished by the end of Jan, hopefully the uploader will be working again by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the original finish foibles Dave had the option to pull the edge of the sunburst right back, showing much more of the veneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
