    Looking forward to seeing this progress - fingers crossed your back situation improves!

    Another to add to the medium scale collection 🙂

    Thanks Andre - the bridge is awesome. So easy to use

    Complete! Very happy with the results. Not perfect, but certainly better than my last build.

    Forgot to take pics of the boring bit. Sanding, pore filling with Z Poxy, more sanding, sealing, spraying, wet sanding... Over with now! Buffed with Meguiars ultimate compound, I think it's come out alright!

    Schoolboy error. Glued the body wings on before carving the neck. Ah well, onwards!

    Small update. Fretboard glued in place (remembered the truss rod, just in time), fretted, tidied up the body shape (and routed for the pickup). Lots and lots of sanding to go, as well as hardware to fit and electronics to sort, but getting there!

    Another option could be to wait for the tung oil to fully cure, then do a couple of wash coats of shellac (dewaxed) before priming and colour coating as normal. The shellac should act as a barrier and stop any adverse reaction.

    Fret slots cut, started on the brass fret markers

    Looking great - I'm planning on a similar fret marker solution in brass!

    Some more slow progress.

    Already looks stunning, and only going to get better under finish 😍

    Could try Minerva https://minervahearing.co.uk/ - we use them at work for custom hearing protection, always get decent service

    Neck blank glued and planed

    Love it!

    Some lovely basses above by the way - gonna have to delete those before I finish so mine doesn't look so naff 😂

    No worries - I'd estimate about £100-£120 for timber, £100 for the preamp and £120 for the pickup. Around £20 for the fretwire. £10 for Warwick just a nut. Pots, wire, control knobs, truss rod etc I already had so not sure.

    Just a small update. Cut and planed all wood to thickness, currently in the process of gluing the blanks up. Sneaky shot of the zebrano fretboard!

    Ordered a Delano pickup through BD last month, told it'd take 3 weeks, was on my doorstep in 2. Happy with that. Super helpful and responsive to emails beforehand too.

    A thing of beauty! Congratulations.

    Looks absolutely belting, great result. Much prefer this to how it was originally!
  23. benh
    No switching option though unfortunately!

    I had the same issue @Smanth - ended up cancelling the order for a MM5TW after a 4 month wait and going for a 40CS instead, which I'm quite happy with
  25. benh
    Definitely the flame IMO! Although both look great
