Thanks Ralph , The p/u's sound amazing ,I was really impressed, with the switching the variation in tone is quite surprising . I think it's one of these things you have to hear your self . The amp is a Univalve and matches well, set to slight break up and use a treble booster as BM did, truly lovely

and thanks Andrew still finishing that other one

Cheers Mark

great looking guitar, very tidy and well set out Mr K

Jim

Nice work mate. Good lines and quality looking finish. Locking tuners too-nice!

That's a crackin' build, Mark.
Chrome hardware including on the pups really sets this one off.

how are you finding the schallers? Not too heavy on this one ?

Wish I could. Actually I wish I could play it for myself. Excelent work.

Mark.
You have done a wonderful job.
I am in the toy section
I am sure alot of us would love to know how you do such a good job with the router.

And also your finish.
Any chance of letting us know?

Thanks for the comments all.
Stu these are the only bridge that I've used and I like what the do ,there easy to set up and sound good .I also like to keep the strings close to the body , I think they're one of the lowest bridges around .
Yep they're heavy and take alot of eye space but I can live with that.
Stu if you're refering to the locking tuners yep the schallers are heavy .

Aussie I use a makita router, the big one , and make templates for every thing .Sharp bits and many small passes.
I also have a small home made table that fits in my vise



Finish wise these are sprayed with nitro ,many coats built up over several weeks.
The gun I use for small work is the Iwata LPH80

Cheers Mark

lovely craftsmanship Mark!

...I am looking hard but i can't see any flaws!

...most meticulous piece of work imo

...and the ole Makita router sure gets around...i think i have the little brother of yours ...well over a decade and still producing sawdust like no tomorrow!

thats a great small router table...


brilliant idea

Thanks for showing the router table and the info on how you use it.
My next car will look better because of it I am sure.
Aussie

Makita FTW!!!

Have to say this pic got my attention:

I'm betting it looks even better in person.

Also tidy looking neck join

i agree, its a very nice bit of work. love all the little details and how well it all comes together.
