Location: Upper Left USA | Looking for input and ideas for the next project. It is a cut to shape Limited body and I am not decided on which neck to go with.
I thought I'd share some pics with the DIY Whackers Club. DVD - I need some fedback on yours!
More shots are in the Gallery under Projects. |

Location: Upper Left USA | The pickups are Seymour Duncan design HB 103s which are relatively good. The Veneer is a figured Mahogany Crotch cut (easy guys).
I have considered all of the TV Jones pups but I'm thinking budget for now. |

Mike, this one is looking fantastic! You finished this one differently than your 12. How so? And the block inlays look as nice as I had hoped with that body.
Had to take a bit of a spending break over the holidays. Hopefully I can come up with some chrome hardware and make a decision on the electronics.
Have you dipped and sliced mine yet? |

Location: Upper Left USA | DVD - No Dip and slice just yet. The garage is a mess until the bathroom is finished. It's hard to use the stripper at 34 degrees ;) Kinda waiting on your final assessment and plan. Yeah, that's my excuse...
I tried a Poly gloss finish this time. I will have a lot of rubbing to do. Much build up on the PG as well. It is an open veneer, much like a burl or a spalted cut. Spray three, sand, repeat.
When I'm done I will play it, love it and eventually sell it to make room for the next big adventure, you know...
I',m looking hard at the TV Jones pups! |
