Hey all, working on a new guitar body and I'm using ambrosia maple for the first time. This wood seems very hard and has some fun figuring to it. So I just profiled the body with my router and I got a...

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 let us cook wood then

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com Thanks! That’s what I was looking at online, but looks different than his. Then I noticed he mentioned a “microplane”. But microplanes are for zesting lemons and turnin...

@liebe the finish was kinda tacky, floyd sat fairly high above the recess and the recess rout wasn't very good. That one was my first carve top too I believe. I prefer to bring the recarve further out...

@liebe surfacing bit from radian tools, use it then give it a quick sand and it's ready to go. I use 80 grit on a hard piece of wood.

Built this one a while agao, first carve top. Had a few things i wasm't happy with, floyd sat above the body, recess wasn't nicely lined up and the finish was kinda sticky. I thought lets improive it....

@koendb oh you know it..... #2 going to paint tomorrow. #3 starting this week

@brie Looks really nice bud, the neck wood looks a bit mahogany ish but not sure.

@liebe Yeah Timberline have some nice stuff, not cheap mind you and the prices are before VAT, so it’s a nasty surprise when the tax isadded!!🤣 If you’re seriously going to buy a bit foe exper...

I’d hoped to be finished this one a while back but, as they say, the best laid schemes O’ mice and men. Anyway here it is, what we have is a Poplar body with a London Plane cap, the neck wood is myste...

Nice one Dan, looking forward to seeing the other two finished products in due course 👍😃🎸

@liebe ,nice build, great finish.

@somethingnicer Like @koendb says, if you've got the money, Mirka Deros 5650 is the bee's knees. If you're looking for something a bit cheaper then Rutland's do a reasonable alternative. &#x...

One piece Brazillian mahogany body, one piece Brazillian mahogany neck. Yew and resin top, ebony board, stainless frets. Gotoh hardware and some kick ass warman pickups. Added a little touch to the ...

@koendb zero issues, I did 3 but when pulling the trem up it was pushing against the springs so I tried 2 and it works perfect.

This has been on the table for quite some time, but I never had the time to actually start building my bass. The design is of my own , and derived from my guitar body model, just enlarged for the la...
