Members mcinku Posted September 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks guys......just an update for youGuitar is polished and assembled, the setup took me a big portion of my evening yesterday. Today I still need to do the electronics part and after that, I'm done. Give me a day or so, for the final pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members go cat go Posted September 22, 2009 Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 Beautiful job! That neck is so beautiful. I can't wait to hear what she sounds like. Bryans pups are so articulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loudog99 Posted September 22, 2009 Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 Awesome job! Love the P90 in the neck- I have the same setup and it's awesome. I have a 3 week old little girl at home as well (Leila) and there is no time for anything. My other 20 month old little girl (Sophia) is acting out ona daily basis now and tantrums have begun- not fun. I was hoping to get a partscaster done for myself this fall/ winter, but that is NOT going to happen. I haven't even mowed the lawn in 4 weeks! Instead, I am going to assemble a cigar box type of mini-amp for myself. I can get some of the work done at the office at lunch and after hours and I'll get my tinkering fix. Plus- it's my birthday present to myself. Anyway, enjoy your little one and that tele once it's all done. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mind Riot Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 How did you swing the 24 fret neck without modification to the bridge positioning or neck pocket? Is it something other than a 25 1/2" scale? Or are things positioned differently and I'm just not spotting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mcinku Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wow! That control plate is HUGE! :poke: Only kidding. Looks great. OK let's count the things I could do better...- Control plate is fine but if I would be just a bit more careful, I would not have to make another one - String Bushings are not entirely straight (you need right toll for that, not easy to do this right without it )- Fret dress is far from perfect... but I will leave it for now, until I'm ready to change the strings, then I plan to tackle this thing again- It turned out that the neck width is missing almost 1mm.I started out with 43 at nut but when I reach fret 12 I'm 1mm short. I was really afraid about this... I thought my string would tend to slip of the neck. It turns out this is not an issue at all and what is even better... my neck is on the chubby side and this missing mm is actually helping. So I will not count this as a mistake. I honestly think the rest is near perfect, at least by my standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mcinku Posted September 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 BTW way I fixed my issue with wiring...The control cavity was a little to shallow and when I tightened the control plate, the switch was hiting the bottom. I was not able to play the guitar at decent volumes yet but I can already say that that P90 neck pup is awesome.Good job Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mind Riot Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 Man I just noticed your builds You're an artist.... really. Thank you very much. Thus far they've all made it across the finish line as toneful, useful instruments despite all the problems we've faced, and I hope these last two will do the same. The seven string in particular, is a replacement for my number one. Your tele is a lovely piece of work, and I personally don't notice the control plate at all. Looks normal to me. Keep it up!
