I'm very impressed too I thought about the logo but I think I'll just leave it as it is.I dont think I'll be making guitars for anyone because it takes such a long time and effort to order everything to Russia...

Delorean Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Here is the headstock. The black line is the marker on the wood (where I'm going to cut it) Obviously,I'm going to fret it first and do the headstock at the end. This is just to cut it to size.

Phill Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Really you should have routed the neck pocket first, got the neck bolted on and made sure everything was aligned properly before you started routing for the bridge. It looks nice, hopefully it'll be playable too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I don't mean just the scale, you want to make sure the strings end up dead centre down the fretboard and not slipping off to one side. There's only a few mm in it so you really need to be spot on. Hopefully it'll work out ok. It always seems to be the bit I'm never completely happy with no matter how many measurements I make and lines that I draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I would be tempted to use a better Ibanez ZR tremelo, as the ffloyd rose is rather a dead end in terms of functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo57 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 This is looking great, mate! You've given me a few ideas myself. Mirror plexiglass, right? How is this gonna be finished? Does the lacquer just go over the plexi, or...? And, last question, how do you bend the plexi for the contours? I'm thinking it might be "melting" it ever so slightly over a flame, but of course I may be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it might be "melting" it ever so slightly over a flame, but of course I may be wrong For thу body I have used a 3mm perspex acrylic mirror. It is white because of the plastic cover (not to get it scratched before I actually use it) Thats how I did it,with a flame gun (or whatever you call it). Here are some pictures I have cut the holes for all the electronics and stuff like that. The back plates fit well which is good. The mirror fits perfectly now.
