Thread: Electric A'stick Dulcimer ( WiP)

cut-out for the volume and tone controls.

Keep 'em coming Wombat, I'll ask the questions at the end!

P

start shaping the head.. I need a bandsaw...

and..

for once I got my measurements right.. placement for the pick-up
I must thank Rob ( the funny little guitar maker) for all his help with the pic-up..

mm looks pretty interesting, wonder how it sounds


cheeeeeeers

started working on the pick-up cut out other than a hole for the bridge earth wire the body will soon be finished.

and before any player of electric A'sticks points out the volume cut out is on the wrong side...no it isn't it's for a lefthander

all going well I will start on the finger board.. I have decided why not try and make it fretless.. so the plan is cut a strip of jarrah and mark where the fret wire should be with markers.. I did think about using 100% Oz timber.. but didn't have anything dense enough that would contrast with the jarrah so I will use some rock maple.. Col

making the non-fretted finger board

now taking shape .. the pick-up cut out is finished..aat the moment the finger board is way over size.. another job for my trusty GMC router

cover plate and finger board pictures..

hope no-smarty spots this is now metal.... picture of the plate for the volume and tone pots...

Loving the WIP Urban.

While I'm not a muso, my bro in law is. I love seeing things built out of wood that will be used, rather than just looked at.

PS - If I had a dollar for every time my bro in law asked me if I could build him a "Solid shell snair drum", well, I'd have a few dollars anyway.

Looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the finished product !!.

Cheers.
