Going to do a solid neck through black limba build for ggbo community. Going with a gibby scale, floyd rose, cream binding with zebra pickups. Carvetop again but possibly a bit deeper like a prs this ...

@rathius I sat a 12 radius block on a 16 radius board, the gap was les than 0.2mm! Took me by surprise, there's so little in it. I do 12, 14 and 16 though, basically whatever the bridge is. I like to ...

100% do all the fretwork first! It's a pain where the sun don't shine trying to do the upper frets after lol. And a 100% don't forget the pickup wiring slot, I did on my 2nd one! Luckily it had a fl...

@bpower thanks mate

And finished, the blue resin is perfect too, nice and subtle. Gotoh hardware, warman pickups, coil split with a 2.2k resistor to keep the split fatter sounding. Attachment : 20230528_193508-01.j...

@kalimar push pull is very simple and definitely the easy way to go. With the split wires that go to the split switch, I stick a 2.2k resistor inline, this gives you a fatter single coil sound and les...

Not long now, sprayed the body today, now to leave it 24 - 48 hours then on to assembly. Attachment : 20230527_154914.jpg Attachment : 20230527_154900.jpg

@kalimar haven't a clue buddy, I stumbled in here after I'd started building.

@kalimar But your fender type bridge is easier because you don't need any neck angle, that bridge you have looks very simple and maybe good for a first go.

@kalimar I've done them with a 35mm blank doing a 3 + 3 headstock with a low angle and volute, worked great.

Welcome along

That's the neck glued in and post holes done, stil a bit more sanding then onto finish. Attachment : 20230523_172052-01.jpeg

Frets all levelled, crowned and polished. Side markers done, everything sanded to 240 grit. Something went slightly off somewhere so the neck angle ended up a bit off so I made a shim that goes from a...

The method Mark uses for carving the neck is so quick using mahogany, took me less than an hour to crave the neck, heel and do the volute. Got the frets in earlier before carving. Attachment : 2...

Got the fretboard radiused and markers in, 6mm aluminium tube with sawdust and superglue. Get the frets in tomorrow Attachment : 20230519_233716-01.jpeg Attachment : 20230519_233659.jpg

@tv101 No no, I got the trussrod and headstock plate off it lol

Crack goes all the way to the floyd cavity, you can bend the neck and feel the body move lol This one is firewood! 🤣

Well bollox! I knew the neck was tight but only just realised how tight! Gone and split the body! 🤣 Think I'll put this one on the back burner pile for now lol Attachment : 20230517_0...

Glued the neck in today then this evening I thought I'd check how it all looks. Well that's a relief! Now onto more finishing. Attachment : 20230516_232335-01.jpeg Attachment : 20230516...

Got the carve done today and the recess for the controls, after a lot of sanding I wiped down with white spirit to have a look. Looks awesome! Attachment : 20230516_173348-01.jpeg
