Members GuitarNoobie Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 ahhh, well thats not bad at all. a heck of alot of shims, but otherwise seems fine. all this drama for nothing the "beofre" pic with the dark shadow was scary. made it look much worse than it was. agreed. as long as the shims are good and solid that neck should be fine and looks tremendously better from the exterior view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of got the impression that the OP has more experience than the author of the other thread. That being said, not sure if I would want to tackle a lp kit! The tele kit looks really interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tele kit looks really interesting though. hehe. well dyeing or staining unknown woods is a challenge for even the most experienced builder. you never know how a new wood type will take the stain. with a scratch build, you usually have blocks of leftover testing woods which helps.

Members Elias Graves Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 That looks like a good neck joint now. I knew you could pull it off NB. The pup rings and pups look awesome. With the purple its gonna be quite smart.EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newbuilder Posted July 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 agreed. as long as the shims are good and solid that neck should be fine and looks tremendously better from the exterior view It's super tight on the inside as well, perfect contact on the side and bottom and tight against the shims.

Members Caliban Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 I will be checking that thread at work, thanks.That is cool. Zemmy wants the headstock cut like a pair of horns and Purple Passion as the waterslide. Yours is awsome.Don't give me too much credit this is my first set neck and dye project, so I am looking at all other build threads to watch other people {censored} up so I know where to watch out. Guitar Noobie gets mad props for having a posted thread for his grizzly kit, helps me with the dying. As far as the neck goes. bolt or set neck, you gotta fit it tight.I love the fretboard, uber classy. Where is the grizzly build thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sean-Patrick Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 It needs the rings, the neck pup cavity is all the way to the neck:eek:. Unless you're concerned that little blank space would be so flagrantly obvious, it's not a problem. I totally think ringless is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newbuilder Posted July 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 We have to get the man's (Zemmy) opinion, I think it would look weird, especialy once it's purple. I could always be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zemmy Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 pretty sure i'll prefer it with rings, but we'll see what it looks like when we get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newbuilder Posted July 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 I would think so too. That empty space between the pup and the neck would be really incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
