A real beauty Bob Is it a spalted maple? Thanks! Yes sir, got it from some canadian website for 30$! Its .30" thick, so a "real" top. Buying something like that in america would cost me a cool bill most likely. Very nice! Can't wait to see it fully finished!

Janello Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Keep waiting for this to be finished, but now he's just stringing us along. Sorry, don't fret, didn't mean to pick on you. It's not like you're making these in volume. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 That reminds me of the creepy pile of headless dolls some axe murderer has hidden in a closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob493 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ha those are seriously cool man.

bob493 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Man, some dude photoshopped my retop guitar with my EVH model. I'm thinking red is gonna have to happen!!! (He even added strings and stuff haha, super cool! Anywho, I recessed the floyd. this puppy can now pull up. Basically, I made a template out of 1" birch plywood, and checked, rechecked, checked some more, then did a practice route, then checked again. Then I clamped down the template and went to town. I literally don't think it would be possible to get a tighter fit without CNC. The diameter of the bit and all that jazz (I don't have small follower bits, nor would I trust them). up close Came out pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
