Shoulda put more stripies on the neck,where the dots would be!!!

Yeah I thought about it - that's what I had in my original sketch, but the fretboard adds a lot of the strength to the neck ,so I didn't want to compromise that

I don't understand, all the other sections of maple appear to go all the way through?

Did that gap in the maple get plugged when you added the extra pieces? Are those routed in? I think its ****ing cool man i'm just trying to get my head around how you have done it.

1 piece at a time ,cut out the bit where the stripe goes on the bandsaw ,then use the router to straighten the edges ,then glue in the stripe which was probably the hardest part as when glued each piece wants to squirm around,used a granite slab to keep the pieces square to each other ,the 2 gaps are stripes that didn't go all the way through and were filled by the stripe that joins them ,and I ****ed 1 router doing them

Ahh is see, that's obvious looking at the pics. silly me

I wonder if there would be a way to do it prior, And glue the entire thing in one go first with no routing just shapes cut? Then you could run the entire blank through the thicknesser.4 way super clamp maybe and a reducing frame. hmmmm. hmmm.

Lookin Bad @ss ChAoZ ! I thought about doing something like that but different 30 years ago. It was going to have several different woods, of different shapes joined together to make a random pattern with very few, if any stripes. I looked for the drawing I made a few times over the years, but so far no success......

I just ordered a Warmoth Soloist body in their limited edition Purple Haze finish.

I've wanted to build a Warmoth for over 10 years. When I saw this, I thought "I can't not have this. It's now or never."
