james90 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Cloning! CLONING Yeah, I'd need at least 4 of them so I could breed them like esperfrodo does But if I send this off to hooglebug (the neck is going anyway as it's broken) wangcasters will be available to everyone. BUT at the same time, I do want that '58...especially since I just sold my tokai LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 the anniversary one is on hold because its going to be really expensive in parts, so im going to do a couple of jnrs instead. one is going to be like this, only probably with a black dogear p90 and a non adjustable bridge like the others and the other....i cant decide. it will be like one of these three. all are flat tops by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 iv got the bodies cut out and the neck blanks ready. im going for the flame one. the flame top isnt playing very nice and one side has cupped a bit. im going to have to see if i can flat it down. today i made use of the for some reason extra long fretboard blank for one of them, and made a headplate, tr cover and control cover for the flame one, all in lovely rosewood.

hooglebug Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 theres not much to see really but here they both are. until paypal stops being a bastard all i can do is do the jnr as far as i can go - the jnr + needs to wait for a new top to be cut which i cant do until i get a new bandsaw blade which i cant do until paypal stops being a twat. also, i cant do anymore of james' guitars until paypal stops being a twat either. the plastics and headplate of the jnr will be just black, maybe tortoise plate if its a tv finish - the jnr+ has rosewood bits - probably wont have a scratchplate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 cool what's the body wood on the top one? and nice looking fretboards also i really like that last mock up without the flame. it has that same finish that's on that short scale tele style (and the one i want on that strat body) let me know what happens with paypal - i'll probably give it 3 weeks from when i sent the payment, and if not, we'll sort something else out i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 its mahogany like the other, but the top part is lighter and all wavey, looks really nice. it goes back to being normal about 10mm down. the fretboards are madagascar rosewood - gorgeous looking stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 soooon hooglebug, do you think you can do a mock up of the guitar so everyone can have a preview? this is the finish i'm going for... that really obnoxious transitional era sunburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 that is a dirty sunburst but it does have a certain charm to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 yeah, i think the standard 3 tone sunburst fender does now is a bit bland. though it's still my favorite out of most of their finishes hooglebug, do you have any of that madagascar rosewood left for mine? would love a nice looking board like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 hooglebug, do you have any of that madagascar rosewood left for mine? would love a nice looking board like that no but i can get some. i'll do the mockup later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 you originally said maple board, but since you were asking about the rosewood i assume you changed your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 i forgot i was going for a maple board got too mesmerized by those pictures back there that gives me an idea of what it'll look like anyway - looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 jnr just needs sanding and routing for pickup, drilling for bridge. the jnr+ will be bound tomorrow (if i have any binding) and then get the neck glued in. i knocked the neck to the floor today and two corners of the headstock plate got dented, so iv glued some little bits on. i swore. a bit.

james90 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 looking at the pictures on the last page, are the back plates for the jnr rosewood? what about the pickguard? Â also, did my payment get there by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 i just looked and i think so. i'll pm you. Â also, the jnr+ has rosewood backplate and headstock plate. the jnr just has plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 got the binding on and the neck glued in. neck shaping next   this is the backplate and headstock plate - they're made from off cuts of the fretboard (it was a long board) so they'll darken with a bit of sanding i imagine. annoyingly, i had to add the binding to the backplate because i drilled the holes for the pots with the wrong bit - one up from what i was going to use) and only noticed when i put the plate over it and could still see holes. bugger.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 hooglebug, any suggestions on matching up the hardware colors on this? the bridge is going to be this brass one do you think you can get raw nickel for the pickup cover and other bits? might look a bit better than chrome. (I know BKP does raw nickel, but I'm not sure about the control plate etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 dunno. could try looking for brass parts, or mix nickel and brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
