Ooh, yeah!! Love those radius jigs! Seeing homemade jigs and templates might be my favorite thing...

Speaking of necks, I had started building one last fall. I had ran into some problems while thinning the headstock, first with my bandsaw, then again with my ROSS. I thought it was a lost cause, but I believe I found a way to save it. It required rethinking and minimizing the headstock shape. I think this shape will work on my sticker bomb prototype shape. I will paint the headstock white to hide the extensive screwups. Considering that that body was also patched up multiple times, it's a fitting pairing. I think I did a really nice job on the back carve though.
I started with the stock cap and found it to be a bit narrow of a stream, but still usable. I tried a pink cap and found that I preferred that as it has more spread and is easier to get overlapping passes.epizootics wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:34 amGlad to hear you like the Molotow Premium! Their color range is rather large. Did you use the stock cap with the blue tip? I messed around with a few of them, including a vertical fan pattern, until realizing the stock one yielded the best results, especially with the clear coat.

The final weight is 7 lbs. 12.5 oz (3.53 kg)!
What's the word on that upgrade? Worth the $6?ThePearDream wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 7:29 amCV vibrato with AVRI spring & spring retainer (I wanted to see if this $6 upgrade would be worthwhile to do on these cheaper units)
