Members littlemilo Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Man, Quarter, there is some sweet-ass symmetry goin' on in that axe! Love the bridge cover and the control plate 'fins'. That really sets it off. That is absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Quarter Posted August 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks for the kind words, like I said, I was very pleased on how the inlay worked out.I forget where I saw the tubing idea for a dot bezel, but it really does give a nice touch and not too hard to do either.Good to see you back and around AJC I think the natives are going through withdrawal waiting for another AJC build Bryan ... we definitely need to get you something to test your pups on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slider Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 what do you use to do the back relief cuts;ie, neck and headstock. I have found those to be the hardest part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Quarter Posted August 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 what do you use to do the back relief cuts;ie, neck and headstock. I have found those to be the hardest part. I rough cut the top angle on the band saw, then tru it up on the jointer / planer.Once I have the top flat and true, I mark out the lower cut and rough it on on the bandsaw then level it off with a Wagner Safe-T-PlanerThe radius / transition I freehand with a drum sander on a drill motor.
