**walcen** · 30th March 2011, 11:39 AM

Hey Floody at the risk of touching on a possibly sensitive point, Is that a little hole in the body I see just below the bottom knob?

Lol good eyes bob. Thats actually where the pup switch goes lol.

Thanks for the comments guys

That's one sweet guitar, I like those wood pickup covers. I'm considering making a set, was it difficult to do without splitting them during fabrication? It seems like if I make them the exact same size as the metal ones that they would be a bit fragile, did you increase their dimensions? Mike

I routed the holes while it was still a bit piece of maple. I then cut them to rough size on the bandsaw and then driled the holes. Then i took them to final size on the beltsander. I wouldnt anticipate any problems doing it that way

how didnt you know floody? dan talks about sticking a magnet inside his wad of steel wool in the fretting dvd

i pick up steel wool crap with a speaker magnet in a plastic baggie - a lot easier to get rid of it

i love that this guitar is a flat top - looking really good - congrats on a top build

I finally finished up the PRS for my brother! I gave it to him this morning and he absolutely loved it! After half an hr of looking at it he finally plugged it. It sounds really really good and plays unreal! I couldnt be happier with how its turned out, Heres a few pics

Thanks for following the build guys. Now I can get back onto the Baritone finally lol

Nice build Floody, looks great now correct me if I am wrong is there too much oil on one side or is that just shadow from taking the photos.
Cheers, Bob
On another note where is young Andy.?

**R3R** · 22nd April 2011, 08:54 PM

now tht the selector switch is in place, it looks a much more usable guitar floody!

most handsome piece for a lucky sibling....who is now obliged to no longer engage in unnecessary rivalry

**floody_85** · 23rd April 2011, 09:47 AM

Thanks for the comments guys. Luckily the rivalry stopped when we stopped living together hahaha.

Bob, the finish is nc laquer not oil. Its all even, just a bad angle I guess
