Thank you for the kind words. My buddy wanted a PRS Strat vibe without investing PRS money. I had the Hombre neck from another build and he got it. I learned a lot with this project for sure. It sounds great clean and dirty.

That is SWEET all day long!! As for no more builds...come toward the light Spud. You know building is fun and good for you.

Thank you, using a shinto rasp is a satisfying experience. This my first build for someone other than myself. I have 4 others to build because of this one. A modified Mocking bird style, SG-ish, LP Jr-ish and a pointy head that will have some headless body components.

I agree with you about the headstock, semi-pointed guitars need semi-pointed headstocks. The guy I built it for wanted a John M. clone. I got to play with wood and someone else provided the funds. The body blank came with all the routs to build the guitar. I even got Warmoth to put the bridge...

It started out as a Warmoth Mahogany routed body blank. After countless hours of sawing, sanding and rasp work, she’s done. Warmoth mahogany blank Warmoth birds’ eye on birds’ eye pre-Hombre neck Hip shot tuners Custom made birds’ eye pickguard and tremolo cover Raw vintage tremolo springs...

Here is a photo of my curing setup. The grow house is 3ft. x 3ft. x 6ft. The image was too large the first time.

Beautiful job! I too had some fisheye issues, contacted Solarez and was told to strain the liquid through a 120-mesh strainer from Harbor Freight. This got rid of tiny, hardened pieces of finish in the container. Their rep said this happens when the container date is near or past best by date...

I just finished a mahogany body using Solarez grain filler and it worked great. Used Solarez I can’t believe it’s not lacquer to do the clear coat. Incredibly happy with the results.

Dude, Do you still have this neck? If so it is sold.
