Members soliloquy Posted July 7, 2009 Members Share Posted July 7, 2009 Adding saturation in a photo editor made the binding show up nicely here's a heavily saturated new photo for the old eyes on the forum... i could see it in the original picture. but the saturated picture is a tad hard to see on my end. and i'm 21.

Members soliloquy Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 bump!!!! so whats going on with the guitar now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newbuilder Posted July 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 I am just coming in from vacation, I haven't done anything for a week.This is the stain that I bought for the back of the guitar and neck. I think dirty blond is going to rock.Yeah the neck pocket is weird, i need to do a shim and nock a couple of spots down so the neck feels tight in the pocket and it's solidly glued in.

Members GuitarNoobie Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 are you planning on building it first before any finish work to ensure playability, etc ? I would highly recommend it !!!Also, how do plan to measure out and drill the bridge and stop tail holes?i am about to buy this same kit within the next month. i look forward to your progress.

Members newbuilder Posted July 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Absolutely on the build it first. I am going to get to some time I hope this week to really stick it together. I want to cut the headstock first while the neck is off but that's it. We are putting all new {censored} on this one. Zemmy ordered some BG's for it and we are putting new hardware and tuners as well. I haven't measured the scale yet, but I will and drill press the grommets pretty soon. And I will indeed post all.

Members newbuilder Posted July 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 I don't have all of the tools I need yet, but I have a buddy that is a master with wood and has an awsome shop, most of the pics after this will likely be there.

Members newbuilder Posted July 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2009 I wanted to let everyone know that we are waiting on supplies, so this is going to be a slow thread. But in the not too distant future we will be moving forward with tons of pics. I would say in the next week or two. Sorry and thanks for staying enthused, It will be a fun thread once it's said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
