[Hendrix]

I did have thinking about buy a new neck , as the bloodwood PS design show in the video .

but few days after I PS that design , the only 2 bloodwood neck in Warmoth showcase are gone  :doh:

so I just thought what neck can be use in hand .

Oh very nice ! I'm a bit jealous you managed to get yours before the shutdown while I have to wait for at least another month (let's be realistic, this shutdown is likely going to be extended yet again).

The TV jones pickups arrived, I painted all the front hardware into chrome black for unified look as planned in last video .

 

[rgand]

The black chrome look is good. It does help to have them all the same.

 

[Rick]

Man that like good.

 

[docteurseb]

Looks great indeed. How do you paint parts in chrome black though ?

 

[Hendrix]

Thanks guys , as for me on this guitar , chrome world be too outstanding, gold too vulgar , flat black too low-key , so black chrome just look right for me .

As this is relevantly easy build , I shoot only time lapse video without audio, much easier to editing into a quick short video :

What is the thin white substance being painted into the neck pocket and pickup cavities?

Just some clear acrylic wood sealer to cover exposed wood for moisturiser proof , our city is surrounded by sea .

Really great build. When I saw these come up I was wondering how people would build them out to still be elegant, but you have managed that even with some pretty outragous pups.

I'm glad you matched the neck into the body as you did. It looks stellar (just don't ding it, that will be a PITA to repair).
