Thanks Ray.
Consequently, everything started coming together after I built a Tele style guit.

Allright, neck carve.






And now to bang a few medium sized frets in.

OK Stu, now you ar e just showing off. I need to go on holidays more often. Every time I come back I am pleasantly surprised with a near finished build thread of yours

Exceptional details there. fine lines. Single cut shape is a winner too.

I recon the A2's is a ripper choice with these timbers. will sing like a bird.

Cheers,

Geeeez! Reading through your thread and checking out the progress pics gives heaps of info on build methods. Your attention to detail and clean work is an inspiration for me.
Its great to see how you (and others in this forum) have gone about building guitars. It really helps when you get to see alternate ways of building eg: the rear cavity plate and support...nice one!
Clean job on the inlay too.
Thanks for the progress pics.

Thanks gents. It's all about learning innit !!!


Trial fit of the neck





Time to close the box up.

Bucker routs





Now for the truss rod bullet/cover. Another magnet for locating it in place.

Nice work. That bullet truss rod cover has become a trademark of yours amoung other things. Something that sets it appart. Keep it up. The colour tone of the ebony fretboard realy works with the sassy. Great choice. Are you going to have faux binding with the sassy?

Cheers

Peter

Looking simply magnificent. I cannot get over how in just four photos you make the neck carving look so easy! I like it.

Hmm.....faux binding and a burst. Now you're thinking , Pete !!

MOP dots.







And finally glue and clamp the neck in place.







And the ebony ergonomic neck heel cap.

I can see that I'm going to like this very much. Love your work.
