Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff!

Hey guys, I'm new here, but have been a lurking for years. I'm going to be starting a little project and decided I'd share it with you guys. I recently bought an old Dinky Reverse neck from the 90's and am currently throwing around the idea of getting a DKMGT body and getting it routed out for a Kahler Tremolo. It's not here yet, so the pictures are from the seller.

That's looking gorgeous. Wow! Nice restoration.
 
Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff!

wondering what the quickest leveling method is ? haven't messed with many uneven ones ( just usual dented up but fairly inline plumb - wise

I'm in the midst of a Warmoth Mahogany/ Flame Maple body and Koa / Ebony Neck assembly. The Ebony is truly a very special custom shop Luthier grade dark slate black wood, and not the more common Maccasar Ebony. The Koa has some light but very pretty flamed grain especially in the right light.

This is getting Duncan pickups all the way.

If I told some of you guys what I paid for this, you might not just cry...you might DIE!

I like those Warmoth hybrid Strats. It gives you a super-comfortable Tele. This one will look great. Congrats.

What does that body weigh?

A picture with the ''carved top back plate''.


Refinished these two bodies in tru oil instead of poly.

How hard was it to get the Tru-oil to take to those patterns/paints?

Been thinking of doing my bass build in tru oil with a transparent black tint.

Their sealed with sanding sealer so its not really any diffrent to doing it on a wood that's been sealed.

Thanks. I was curious since mahogany seems to be a little heavier in some cases. Been musing on mahogany for my next build. That would help counter neck dive on some bodies with a baritone neck.

Kramersteen, I really find that carved top one you're restoring a fascinating design. How does that cut away portion at the heel of the neck feel? Would that give better access to the higher frets?

I made a Tele body, PNG Rosewood with an Ash top

That PNG rosewood has an interesting grain to it. It's going to be a nice-looking body with the ash top. Nice job on it.
 
Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff!

How thick is the ash top? Rosewood makes for a great neck material. Pairs well with Ebony. I'd be curious about rosewood with pau ferro. When I get some space, I'm going to dip my toes into building.

The Ash top is 6mm thick, I'm not sure how close to any other Rosewood the PNG is but it smells nice when ya cut it,darkens up with a little oil on it, I'm just making the body to this stage and someone else is going to finish it

Had this laser cut based off my cad drawings but unfortunately i wanted black and got clear. A black one is on the way but either way i'm not to happy with the way it looks. I will be dealing with how it looks and i'm sure once all the hardware is on it will work ok.

Some rough mockups. this still has the backing paper on


Some black sharpie just so i could see how black would look


:grumble:
