i do however have an 8 string on the books,
as well as a setneck tele,
baritone 6 string,
and a setneck strat,
wouldnt mind doing another bass....


if someone was to ask me to build something for them with more strings, whether that be a bass or guitar, i would consider it....

you just want someone to fund it!

lol i thought you were the bass builder?

routed the neck pocket

boys..... do me a favor and dont work if your not feeling 100%

cause stupid mistakes are made lol

i put the neck in the wrong position when i stuck the templates on
the neck is straight, but it was meant to be another cm or so into the body,
i even had a pencil mark tellng me where it was meant to go... -_-

but #### happens....
the pocket is nice and the neck will set in fine
just a lil less bdy wood on th treble side of the neck..

another lesson learned

will not be dong anymore work on this until i get some machine heads, ferrules and possibly an emg

in the meantime i have some other projects

anyways, pics....










now....im not one to build copies....

but i have a bunch of parts laying around, so im going to use them....
but it will have my own lil twists on it....
one being a set neck,
another being the scarfed headstock
gotta decide on a headstock design
shall be fun...

Man you have parts coming out of your ()%$&!!!

Teles are cool except for the hstock so im glad ur changing it..Im prob gonna build one down the track..

I do like the new head stock too but I love tele's anyway so either head stock is fine but yours takes a lot mor skill to accomplish

Hey Andy, I just put a new blade on my bandsaw and set it all up right but as soon as I try to cut something the blade stops??? Doesnt matter if its timber or mdf in all different thickness..Any ideas?? I know fletch cuts bodies and necks on the same bandsaw so I dont see why it wont work???

Andrew - looking good. Nice save on the neck alignment.

I like the Strat style "fat" headstock on the tele. then again the 72 Deluxe is my favourite. The fact youve tilted it with a scarf is cool too. You dont have any string ferrules you want to sell me?

The belt is slipping, mine does it too. You need to losen the 2 nuts holding the motor and push it one way or the other to increase the tension on the belt then retighten the nuts

Ahh ok..Ill give that a go..Thanks Fletch..

i have a fair few parts over here
about to buy some more.. lol

and yes, tele headstocks arent great....
and since its a scarfed headstock i think that it will look retarded....

iv always liked my strat headstock (70's style)
so i free handed it over the tele headstock oon the blank

i wiill probably come up with my own though....
who knows..

I do like the new head stock too but I love tele's anyway so either head stock is fine but yours takes a lot mor skill to accomplish

headstocks arent hard to shape...
easy peasy

indeed, loose belt, i had the same problem lol

cheers lol
i just think a strat styled headstock will look better scarfed than a tele stock

lol im about to buy a bulk load of ferrules i think....
