Thread: Another first build

Any further progress?

I was wondering what the jarrah does for the sound of the guitar. I've recently heard bad things about jarrah as a guitar wood. Please say it isn't so.

Hey Tim,

I have only done a dry fit without any the electrics in place. I wont be ablt to tell what the tone is like until its close to finished.....I will post back once I get it running through the amp.

Cheers

OK guys....Build is now finished

Here are some picks.








Sounds quite good even though it needs to be setup correctly. I am going to take it down to my friendly guitar man to have it setup right.

Anyways it has been a heaps of fun for my first build. Amy very happy with the finished result. Especially as it is even playable.

I have already started my neck project....a lap steel.

Cheers,

XLNT work man, another classic tele is here, let all us know what the tone / sound is like when she's all set up.
good luck with the lap steel, thats my next project too. lotsa fun.

came up good man
nice work

Well done Mr. Wippy.

What did you end up using as a finish ?
It looks like a satin finish which makes that figured neck look like a very comfy player.

Thanks guys...

Yep...I used Wattle Estapol Satin from a spray can. Finised it off with EEE wax (Not on the neck though).

Cheers

turned out very well. love how the neck came out.
the pickguard looks a bit dull from the photo's, is it well represented? you could possibly use some wet and dry and then some polish if you wanted it shiny looking.
