That's a nice stack.

It's a big, fluffy stack!

WHERE'S THE ENGRAVING?​

Gotta get 'em anodized first, unless someone wants one polised.... :dontknow:

 

[B3Guy]

I'd polish at least one or two, just so you have 'em "in stock". that way, if anyone ever asks for a polished one, all you've gotta do is throw it in the CNC, sit back and drink your coffee.

Chrome I wouldn't be able to do, unless the shop I'm getting them anodized at can do chroming.... :dontknow:  I can put a mirror polish on one.....

 

[DangerousR6]

And here we have a polished aluminum one vs. a plain aluminum one. And a chrome neck plate for comparison...

Nice job on the polishing. Is that a lot of trouble?

Thanks,
Nah, aluminum takes about 5 min, if you know how to do it.  :icon_biggrin:

Well, don't tell anybody how to do it. That would be totally against the whole spirit and mission of a DIY custom guitar building forum. Our entire purpose here is to keep detailed information about how things are done as secret as possible. In fact, if anybody presents any factual information, it is incumbent upon the members to disparage and discredit not only the information, but the person disclosing it <grin>

Doug...I really like that.  The texture around the hand and skull are very cool.  Is that by design?

It's actually the tool marks from the tool path that's created from the cad program, but you can't feel them. They're smoooooooooooooth.... :icon_biggrin:
