I think you're right. The shapes are fighting against each other.

Interesting how similar and yet totally unique our two guitars are!

Indeed I do. :-) (Not the best picture. I really need to take some time and get some good images of my instruments!)

I like the way the Warmoth looks on my Velocity. Meadowhawk would also look good, but wasn't available when I built the Velocity. I also like a Gibson scale with this body.

Experimenting with ideas for the pickguard. I've also been looking at wiring options and having the ability to put the switch up top and have a knob below is compelling. It'd also let me put the switch in the lower horn if that ends up being the best configuration.

I'm fussing about the wiring for the dual TV Jones Classic Filter'Trons I'm going to be building. A basic setup would be two knobs in a VV configuration. Then there's the HotRod with a single MV knob, 2 knob VT, Tone Pot 4 knob VVMVT, and the other variations. Are there any Filter'Tron...

@Hagwood I love your paint setup (and the results you're getting!). Have you posted anything that lays out the details (paint tent, sprayer, compressor, etc.)? I tried searching your posts, but gave up after the 3rd or 4th page. 😁

I was browsing the builder last week (something I do way too much!) and noticed that Inferno Flake wasn't there as an option. It's still there under guitar-finishes, but not as part of an actual configuration. Maybe it's already gone. o_O <me-feeling-lucky>

Not a bad idea. Thanks for suggesting it! I'm still doing mockups while I wait for the blank pickguard material to arrive, and I'll definitely work up one like that.

It looks even better in person. The light on my workbench isn't the best for photos. I'll get better ones as I work on it.

Thanks! I think it will be ... so long as I don't screw it up!!! :ROFLMAO:

Awhile ago, while I was trying to figure out what build I wanted to do next, I got inspired by @Rick's Inferno Flake Jazzmaster and decided to riff on some of his ideas. So, I ordered up a Dinkycaster, which I've been wanting an excuse to buy since they came out, in Inferno Flake. I'm going to...

It's a dual TV Jones wood mount with rear cavity and tremolo. I got inspired by @Rick 's Inferno Flake Jazzmaster and am going for a similar vibe, but with Filter'Trons. I'm also going to have a pickguard. Although it won't be nearly as big as Ricks, it will let me carve out some of the wood...

High variation in a natural product is a thing for sure, but I'll respectfully disagree that light and heavy are relative terms. For any species there is a normal distribution curve for weight, so terms like light and heavy do have meaning. If all you have in stock are pieces of wood that fall...

That's where I'm coming from! Although for me it's more my neck. Well, I'm going pretty far off the reservation with this build, so I'll be making some mods that will shave some oz's. And I'm going to abandon one idea that would have added weight. It would have been nice to have started with...
