Jimothey Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) I'm hopefully going to have my new workshop up and running by the end of next week so I thought I'd print off the template for the new body I'm going to be using this neck as a reference but make the new one out of Mahogany, I'm trying to be more sustainable with my builds so I might use some Oak I've got for the fretboard? The body is going to have a Mahogany back but I'm not sure of the top as yet I'm going to have to see what I've got/can get? Possibly Black stained Oak with the grain filled White?? Its still going to have a MM style pickup in a ramp style cover, not sure of the hardware colour as yet more than likely will be black?

I'm not planning to this time!! 😁 Well I suppose anything with me can happen! Black stain with yellow grain fill could work?...........👍🏻 Edited November 16, 2021 by Jimothey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 There was a big delay in my workshop being delivered but it turned up today woo hoo!! Hopefully get it finished and start moving all of the machines in by the weekend then I can start building again! I've been having withdrawal as I've not built anything for about 3 months 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth posting again Well I say my workshop but I've got to share it with my dad as they've moved to the house behind me but I've got all my machines back: bandsaw, thicknesser, router table and table saw so thats going to make my life a lot easier!! Its 20'x10' so its going to be a bit tight on size but it should be ok....... 👍🏻 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a picture of the view tomorrow so you can see why the windows are that side, the only neighbours that would be overlooked is a herd of fresian cows! I don't think they will be too interested!?! 😁 Edited December 9, 2021 by Jimothey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) The more I looked at the latest design the more I didn’t like it so here’s version 3.0 (or is it 1000.0 I can’t remember there’s been so many changes on most of my builds!!) I can’t decide so these are the 2 headstock choices?? its going to be (probably) Sapele/Pine or Oak laminated back and neck, pallet top with stained Black Oak fretboard and pickup cover/ramp so it’s going to be quite rustic!!……👍🏻 Edited May 30, 2022 by Jimothey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benh Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Very nice! Personally I prefer the smaller headstock 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
