Gotta love hurricane season. Days of anticipation, hype, and preparation only to (hopefully) be a near miss. Take care in Kissimmee, Bob!

Routing the 1" increased width body. It will still fit in a standard Precision case.


Veneering.






Bound for glory.


Checking dimensions and color test.  I'll be aiming at a 'Pelham Blue' shade of stain.

Agree with the hurricane prep.
This will be stellar Carlo.

That neck join is really nice!
Artful and the back cut looks really comfortable.

Do you have imagery of your past life in carpentry...?
So much artistry...

Thanks, Ken, and everyone else. This is my most ambitious attempt in wood, around 1987. It was a little too springy.  If I did it today it would have some carbon fiber in the arm/leg laminations. Back then it was basically unobtanium.

Winding up (down) 2019.

Going out next week.  Medium Scale, Satin hardware.




Early December for this one.  Body/Neck total weight six lbs.  Honduras ain't heavy!


Last weekend's progress on my 12er


Scale comparison to original size LP jr body (my EB0 is in storage).


Finally, Epiphone Firebird I 'Joe Bonamassa'.  MIC, build and finish are first class. Even the 'KLuson' banjos are smooth and lI love the sound of the twin melody maker coil pickup.  Sounds like a P-90 without the hum. I take back anything I've ever said about JB. :)

I played a JB Epi just like in your picture this summer, my shop had one in. I think it's the best 'Gibson' guitar I have played in years.

OXbird waiting for the check to clear. :mrgreen:



Satin Metallic Black LH Twelver on schedule.





Factory refurb Canon Color Laser Printer and toner for $185, less than $4 a pound. No more shlepping to the copy shop for my crappy graphics.
