Thread: Mr k's 2nd guit

The switches look good Mark but it's hard to work out how they sit in relation to the rest of the body from these pics. I guess we will see the finished thing in the end though.

Jim

Just took this shot to show the lay out a bit better , Thanks Jim for the pointer .



Cheers Mark

you guys impress me....
that has gotta be one of the most ingenious way of mounting a lot of switches....

you just watch... people will start ripping this off now lol

Very Cool Mr K. Tidy as always. Will look forward to seeing more. What do the 6 switches do if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks Peter , the three outer switches are on/off for each p/u
The first two inner switches are phase ,and the bottom inner is series/ parrallel, and it is the bridge p/u that is reverse wound . So its basically as a red special except the last switch.

Cheers Mark

Update pics , finished the body carve today , necks fitted and ready for fretting.






Cheers Mark

Nice carve. The carve suits the body shape very well. I think I have similar taste in carved tops to yourself. I look forward to more.

Cheers,

Peter

Can't wait to see this finished!

Was it going to be naturally finished or did you have a fancy color in mind?

Looking great, Mark.

It is taking shape nicely.

You have put a lot of work into the neck and it looks great.
Do you have three rods in the neck and are they needed to keep it flat?

Hi everyone

I love what you are doing with this guitar Mark .I also am a huge fan of Brian May i will be building 2 redspecial replicas in this new year . I have had some copies of the ali roller bridge and knife edge tremelo made up by a friend of mine a while back.

All the best Ralph.

Scally , the two side rods are carbon fiber , probably overkill but I like that bit of extra stability,

And thanks to all the comments folks .
