Jimothey Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Here’s the new decal I think it looks a lot better......... But my dilemma is now with or without the control plate ...........🤔 Edited March 2, 2020 by Jimothey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Having lived in and loved Dublin for many years of my early life I'd say leave the control plate off. Even if I hadn't got that connection I think it would be a shame to spoil the balance of the graphic. No control plate needed. It would detract from the effect of the graphic. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Here’s the latest Guitar I’m building its my take on an offset tele-ish type thing…….this is the first time of doing a neck from scratch as well!! The body is Sapele back with a Poplar pallet top the neck is Sapele with an Oak fretboard, I’m really happy with the way it’s turning out!!…..👍🏻 I’ve started gluing up blanks for my take on a Les Paul, offset strat-ish, a Jack Bruce inspired (a Jazz pickup Warwick SG style) bass and a rear routed Jag bass as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Here’s the offset strat-ish build! This is scaffold board back with pallet wood top and just Danish oiled The neck and electrics are out of a cheap strat copy I picked up the other day The headstock has been reshaped and I’ve veneered it with a thin piece of pallet wood to match the body….👍🏻 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Almost finished this build I’ve wired it like a Gilmour Nashville Tele so it gives you some different tones to a standard Strat! Just got the re-fret the neck as I found 2 frets that had popped and some of the others were quite worn……..👍🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
