Chopthebass Posted November 25, 2022 Author Posted November 25, 2022 Time for some body sanding/buffing, and frets 10 Quote
TheGreek Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Love the fretboard timber...amazing figuring. One possible criticism could be that because you've chosen beautiful timbers for both neck and body they may compete for what to look at. Nice problem to have though. Quote
TheGreek Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 JOOI what is that in the top left corner of your last photo? Quote

GMC Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 That's very nice work you are doing! So you mind sharing what lacquer are you using? That's a nice glossy finish you have got there! Quote

Chopthebass Posted December 28, 2022 Author Posted December 28, 2022 Not a lot of progress, but just seeing how it looks with the knobs. Body still needs sanding and buffing. 4 Quote
funkle Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 May I ask, where did you get those knobs? I could use some… Quote

NickA Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Get another of those bridges run off and @funkle might buy it off you. He seems to be a bridge short of the exact Wal sound .. perhaps 😉 1 Quote
