OK, then. Today I started work on the next project. I've been making patterns and ordering things. All that done, I was in the garage readying for the first cut on the beautiful piece of mahogany I got from Ian (thanks, man) when the brown truck drove up and handed me a suspicious brown box straight from Warmoth.
It is made with their new meat cleaver headstock design.
Actually, I will cut my own headstock and thanks to Brian, got it ordered with the straight 6 paddle headstock.
EDIT: the neck pictured here was not used and further along, you'll see the actual one that got installed on this guitar.
The first cut on the body so it's officially underway, now.
This thing has an amazing grain that follows the body shape.
Ready to route, now.
So what's it going to look like?
The Roadhouse:
It looks a lot like the Telerauder but it's considerably narrower (+-1") and shorter (+-1/2") so it'll fit in a readily available case. The color will most likely be a brown to clear burst, not the blue pictured but that was drawn long before Ian came along with the mahogany.
