Phill Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I have no doubt that they're chunky, Tom. But you can only go as wide as the tree allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I have no doubt that they're chunky, Tom. But you can only go as wide as the tree allows. but what if you join them? Thats how I was trimming it,in 3 stages. Stage 1: Stage 2: Stage 3: Finished: So it's not exactly one piece then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 So it's not exactly one piece then? Well,it is because i bought a massive piece of mahogany and the cut it to rough shape I did the trimming bit in stages because it is easier and the last stage was trimmed the other way (i know it sound confusing),therefore it looks like there is more than one piece.

Delorean Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Here it looks like it is made from 2 pieces (this is because of the router) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell_A Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I Remembered about another Amp manufacturer you should try, Blackstar. Check out these two: HT-20 = £449 HT-40 = £549 Check them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound sweet,although I think that I'll buy an amp for about 300 pounds and then an M13 for another 300 pounds which makes 600,(which is the same as buying the Blackstar amp). Thanks anyway. I will decide by July only,so I have plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Holy shit that is a massive sheet of wood! $123 is pretty steep too haha. I Guess it looks like different grain because the router scorches and burns it a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I don't actually know a lot of things,so I either guess or ask someone experienced (hooglebug or phill in here) I'm planning to finish this guitar by June,so not long left I'm good at all the electronic side of things,but never done wood working before,I think it's quite good for the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 it's because the neck went inwards (not a warp, but just as if it was cut wrong) on that side towards the upper frets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
