Building my first body.

[reluctant-builder]

I just found out that there is Exif data on the current Warmoth gallery pics. Very cool.

I have no idea what kind of data that is ... could you elaborate? Thanks.

And, yes, I can always do the ubiquitous Google, but it's sometimes nice to ask a question and be answered by a real person.

See? Cool, idn't it? Unless you're not into photography, in which case it's probably not cool at all...

But how exactly did you go about viewing that data?

I saved the picture to my Flickr page for safe keeping. :blob7:
Flickr gives you stats.

I haven't had a chance to work on this for a little while, so today, I'm making time to work on the tummy cut.

The floor of my garage is continually scattered with ridiculous quantities of sawdust. This little pile was from doing the tummy cut. :blob7:

 

[Cagey]

Nice job! That really came out well!

Nice sawdust pile, too. Almost as good as what you can get with about 30 seconds of routing <grin>

 

[B3Guy]

No, I don't think you're seein it quite right . . . that's him standing right down THERE:

 

[line6man]

Ignoring the fact that I've developed a terrible habit of doing things half-assed, moving on to another step, and then finishing them up later, this thing is really starting to take shape.

 

[B3Guy]

take shape. ha. I got that one  :icon_thumright:

 

[Cagey]

That's coming along nicely. Should be ready for finishing pretty soon, eh?

I vote Daphne Blue.

No, no.. you're right. There's a lot of prominent wood grain showing, and he wasn't careful about matching up the various woods' colors at all. It goes from something nearly orange to something nearly white to something sorta brown - how could that have gotten past him without his noticing it? I mean, it's so obvious now, especially after the contouring. The only solution is going to be an off-putting opaque finish, and Daphne Blue makes you look away as much anything else Fender bought for $5 a drum <grin>

 

[reluctant-builder]

It is interesting how the arm contour doesn't behave like most guitars would with that feature and a top made of a particular wood, wherein the top would be a veneer that follows every contour. Was it intentional that your sandwich layers show through the way they do? Even if it's inadvertent, it's a cool effect ... like a racing stripe.

Well, Warmoth has their process to allow the laminate top to "wrap around" around the forearm contour, but this is what happens when you simply glue a laminate top onto a core, with both woods being flat. (Three, in my case.)
I like it a lot, as it shows off the flamed Maple. :blob7:

The way I did it is common with a lot of instruments, for example, here is one of SkuttleFunk's basses:

How dare you! Such blasphemy!

The Walnut will be painted solid black, while the Bubinga will be painted metallic rainbow sunburst.

 

[mgaut051]

(...)metallic rainbow sunburst.

:laughing3:

At least the maple will be showing - THAT'S WHY you got flame maple... I understand now.

Mind you, we have people painting koa gold and I remember a post about flamed maple painted solid and the figure physically peeking out... so wouldn't be the first.

Side shot showing the gutcut and the armrest? I love those shots.

 

[reluctant-builder]

Mind you, we have people painting koa gold ...

Now, now. If you're talking about Jalane's reclamation project, that poor Koa had to be painted over. If you're talking about a pristine piece of wood, though, I admit that's pretty criminal.

Look, Line6Man!

My pewter Fender American Standard Stratocaster from 1987 or 1988 has pin mount tuners!

I think that Fender was using Schaller as a tuner supplier in the late 1980s but it may have been Gotoh.  Regardless, I've had pin set tuners on a guitar since 1987 or 1988!

I have precisely the same tuners.

 

[Cagey]

I thought they were having their tuners sourced from Gotoh, but in looking around it seems some of them are from Schaller (Germany), and some are from Ping (China). Supposedly, you can't tell the difference by appearance, although I saw more than one post where people got sets that clearly had two different designs right in the same set. So, as usual with Fender, who knows? I do know Ping only sells to OEMs/private labels, so there's no looking them up for comparison.
