friend XPS

Nice..Had jags n duos in the past and they never got played.. slapped 25.5 necks on last 2 duos and its just great!
Duo body is longer than strat so really good match.
Stratosonic n Telesonic.

[Nudger]

Just off my guitar mans workbench.
Our own fellow formite niksureal made the body for me last year, and it arrived on my bday.
I partnered it with the neck from my first electric guitar. Gave it to my tech to sort out a while ago and I just got it back.
I love it. Thanks Nik

Jazz bass body...



Neck is from the old, neverfinished Marauder Bass project.
This will be Bass for my son.

I'm imagining this would look great with a 70´s style sunburst.. Is that an ebony fretboard? Lucky boy !

It's supposed to be black....now... I will rethink

24" scale St. Vincent for my wife. Poplar body, roasted curly maple and ebony neck, 2 firebird pickups, 2 point strat vibrato, and locking tuners.

I'm waiting on some firebird pickup routing templates.



25" scale Performer for me. Alder body, 2 piece maple neck, lace sensors, 2 point strat vibrato, and locking tuners.

I've never seen a Performer in person, so I wasn't sure how it would feel. But it turns out that the shape is super comfortable. This is a really light piece of alder too. I still need to do the contours, but the weight is down to 3lb 5oz. I'm guessing the finished weight will be just under 7lb.

Some progress on the SD4/L-like object- some weight removal was done and the edges were loaded with epoxy:

Sanded the edges level and smooth in preparation for the transparent red lacquer, and got the Formica on front and rear.
Still a way to go- clean the glue residue off the sides, soften the edges, red lacquer, paint the neck black, reinstate the cavities that are now under the Formica, and I should probably think about a neck pocket at some point.

Do I see an SG3 there? I'd love to come over and see that thing in real life

Dang! It looks bloody great already. One of these days I'd like to see a family picture of all your cool builds
