@russ thanks bud, it's so much nicer, the whole fit and finish is vastly improved and now I could happily put it up for sale

nice build, good job.

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com Cheers

@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...

@nsj nice guitar

@nsj lovely. I don't think there was, but just in case there was any misunderstanding, my comment was based on my mixed results with flattening with a router sled not any suggestion you were doing it ...

@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.

Meant to include a before pic of how the guitar used to look Attachment : 20230308_162921.jpg Full build can be found on my youtube channel too

Lovely work @nsj! I wouldn't have thought the tiger router would have left the body surface flat enough for gluing on a top, but good to know!

nice guitar

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

@nsj Thanks Neil, Yeah the neck wood is some kind of “mahogany “ and my best guess is Gabon mahogany (okoume) but not at all sure.👍😃🎸

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

@brie couldn't agree more. Well just have to struggle through it!

@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...

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com Thanks Ben👍😃🎸

@liebe Thanks Dan, the London Plane came from a company called Timberline shop.exotichardwoods.co.uk they call it Lacewood but proper lacewood is totally different. They have it as bookmatched guitar ...
