Looking good!

Are you going to round that one off or is it going to be a bit like the new delorean?

I don't know yet

It might end up like a thinline tele, or it might end up really rounded off, I'm not sure yet.

depends on how i finish the rest of the guitar at the moment, would be nice to let it shine on through though

Citizen Crazed · 28-08-2008, 05:22 PM

That's a beautiful looking neck Phill, look forward to seeing the finished guitar.

Anyway, not specifically luthiery as such, but here's a shot of the final part of my first DIY build. Can you tell what it is yet?

Shot of you finishing the tip of a pimping stick on the lathe?

Do you want me to look around over here and see what I can find? I'm in good with 3 big exotic hardwood guys around town, I'm sure I could find something for you

Cheers for the offer but it's too late for it now, all the routing would be way too deep if I but any extra on top

Thanks though!
