Rexel Matador Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 I didn't realise that picture was so blurry when I uploaded it on my phone. Poor focus hides a multitude of sins. I'll put some better pics up in due course. Even in these conditions you can see the apparently unsandable scorch mark on the edge of the headstock. Hopefully my next build will be free of such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel Matador Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 And there you have it. The electronics aren't done yet because I lost the tone cap I was going to use, but other than that it's pretty much done. I cracked the scratchplate (again) but it's not that noticeable. I'll make (yet) another one when I can be bothered, but it's a minor quibble for now. The thing I'm happiest about is the balance. It sits perfectly - not a hint of neck dive! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexel Matador Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it, definitely an improvement on my last one so I'm on the right track. I'm realising now that the good balance is at least partly due to the body being quite heavy - because of the abundance of maple, I guess. Not unbearable though.
