I guess that makes sense. Kinda like cutting acrylic. It just melts as you cut past it.

Hey gang, it's about time for another build and I'm wanting to do something with a Floyd bridge. Since the prepainted bodies in the showcase are probably the better way to go right now, I'm wondering how well the paint holds up around the edges of the rout. The only painted body I've got was...

That's what I was afraid of. This is a really nice chambered mahogany body too. I don't need to take the chance of boogering it up anyway. I guess I'll just have to build another one.  :icon_thumright:

Hey gang, I have a Tele body that is routed for the regular single bridge at the moment. I've tried the Duncan dual rails for Tele and I'm just not thrilled with the sound. It's got the output I'm after but too bassy and I'm wondering if it is the traditional slant. I would like to try a regular...

I'll have to admit, I'm a little bit of a Ernie Ball MM fanboy. I've owned one in the past and have played several of their roasted neck guitars. To me, they kind of set my expectations of what finished roasted neck would be like. I got my Warmoth roasted with 6100 stainless frets and polished...

If you look at about the 0:40 mark, as he puts the caul under the neck the piece of wire hanging off the edge has got a pretty good curve to it.

My first build had a body that had a route for a standard 2 point Strat trem. I had all intentions of putting a flat mount Floyd on it. I did and found out quick you need an angle for a flat mount. I did the old playing card trick and made a "ramp" of 5 cards cut at progressively shorter...

I've been playing a Tele Deluxe from the very first day I picked up a guitar (1982 to be exact). Luckily Dad wasn't playing any more and I've never been without it. I think it is definitely an axe to have in the arsenal. I think Fender was for sure fighting for the rock market and even snatched...

I got my sea foam green Strat body in the Screamin' Deals too. It didn't cost much more than basic paint cost. Gotta love 'em.

Cool, thanks. Awesome Strat BTW. Love the B-movie Sci-Fi stuff myself. Was it an off the shelf design or was it custom?

Ok, I'm late to this party. Did you do the neckplate or have that done custom?

Very Nice! I will probably be doing a JM next myself.

Yep, I do like those too. He heavy grain look is what I thinking this time. That's why I was kind of thinking TV Yellow with a red-brownish grain fill. LP Jr./Tele hybrid with the black pickguard. I thought the yellow would set off nice with the darker neck

I feel like I need to add a note to my post. I got my first stainless fret neck from Warmoth last week. When I was doing a mock-up on it, I noticed the frets were a little "scritchy" when bending strings. This was first for me to actually take it back off and just do a polish job, still no...

My gorgeous roasted flame maple Tele neck and mahogany chambered body came in. Stainless 6100 frets, 1 5/8" on a standard thin profile. The body has all the contours and is super light. Problem is, my phone has a horrible camera and the pictures don't do it justice. I didn't know the body pic...
