Rupes

Here’s my first attempt at building a guitar (other than a cigar box one) - something I’ve been wanting to do for many years. Key components are: Body: Alder PJ Bass from GuitarandBassBuilds.com Neck: Jazz bass neck from Twin—cam on ebay. Stain: Wudtone Hot Auburn and Goldenrod burst for the body. Pickups: I picked up a set of second hand (but barely used) EMJ Geezer Butler pickups on ebay - which included a full plug and play wiring loom. Other bits: mostly new and used parts from ebay. The build has mostly been quite straightforward - the most involved aspect being the staining of the body and neck. I was pretty pleased with the wudtone kit. I’ve spent a lot of time mulling over colours and eventually decided to try a burst effect. The application process was actually fairly easy and I’m very pleased with the result, although the contrast between the two colours is not quite as pronounced as I had imagined. i finally got the guitar finished yesterday and have managed to get the action and tuning set up fairly well after a couple of hours of fiddling with it. It sounds and plays great (to my limited experience). Now I’m thinking about my next build for which I think I’d like to do my own body shaping and routing and possibly build my own neck.
