Amazing work!

And while I'm pondering on the carve, the glue on the headstock plate may as well be setting.

Don't panic, by the way - the two G clamps are clamping onto a katalox offcut caul, not the headstock plate itself

I bet the man behind the counter of the clamp shop loves it when you walk in....🤣

I think the binding is going to work well.

Once the fingerboard has been scraped and finished and the binding corner rounded off, it should look pretty integral and - more to the point - it should work well from a playing perspective.  I think this may well become my preferred method:

Next task will be to cut the pickup chambers but that will probably be at the weekend earliest

 

Absolutely awesome that binding Andy, love the way that finished fretboard looks 😍

Nice work so far 😎

Wenge looks good to me

Pickup cavities, control cavity, arm and belly carve done!! 

1st coat of Danish oil on it! Now just waiting for neck screws, bridge, knobs and tuners......... 

I think it's starting to look really nice now if I do say so myself!! 😁

Naaaaah....

Get the blue paint back out 🤣

Absolutely stunning! 😎

....are the machine heads the wrong way round? 🤔

Oh dear that's grim 😢

Hope you get sorted, and hopefully not too expensive  

😮😮 that's some confident chisel work right there! 😲

Congrats! I love the look even more with the grain coming through. You beat me to the sale 😆 I too fancied an impulse buy, I contacted the seller earlier to ask about condition etc..... who told me it was found in the loft....😮

How does it play/sound? 😎

Did you ever finish this? 😎

Great stuff Andy

Yup, I think it's hopefully turned into a bargain for the lucky buyer too, bit of a steal IMO.

Come out wherever you are, tell us what you think of it 😂

Anyone on here buy the Camel Journey Precision? It looked like a decent lump of Japanese goodness, and went for £206...

......and.......... relax 🤭

Good to see normal service has been resumed 😂

We'll pretend that blue period never happened 😇

Over the last couple of months I kept on looking at this body and really started to not like the way I'd done it so I decided it is going to be painted Black and I trimmed off a bit of the lower part of the offset waist which I think balances it better it doesn't look so bottom heavy now

I'm going to turn my Orange Jazz into a 5 string so I'm going to use the old 4 string maple/maple block inlay neck off it for this build 😀

WHAAAAAT????! 

I'm with The Greek........

Deary me...that's a radical change!

 Grammatical sense?

I can't read anyway, I just like the pictures....😍l

Look very Thumbish to me.....which is nice 😎

Looking good

Superb!

Fantastic work as usual Andy 😎

Beautiful work 

Like it 😎

Top bloke is young Gaz, looks after his gear too, looks brand new that bass 😎

Buy with confidence 👍
