Rosewood Soloist Build Thread

Looks amazing! I like the binding below the curve of the edge, classy stuff. And great work with the headstock! Gunslinger style, looks awesome!

I appreciate that, I am being very patient and finnicky on this one. Or as my friends like to say about me 'fussy and picky'....... LOL
 
Nice day to take a break from the bathroom remodel and sit on the patio with the guitar. Installed the bridge and neck so I could at least get 2 strings on it to line up the pickups. Neck looks really good, just a tiny bit of spot leveling. Everything ready now for my parts to show up from Mojotine to wire it up.

Got the build complete last night after all the soldering. Still need to do a good setup, just eyeballed string and pickup height and neck relief as it was late and wanted to plug it in to test it. First impressions are very positive. Love the sound of the Mojotone 59 PAF Humbucker and the 58 quiet coil singles, and plays great. I'll break out the 'highfalutin' camera and get some good photos once the rain stops around here, and post all the details. It was a super fun build, and I was very OCD with it, from finding just the right size gold screws for everything (although the switch screw countersinks are a little off, will have to fix later), to modifying parts so that everything was black and gold.

Thanks for the idea. I’m now referring to it as my ‘Patent Applied For Gunslinger Headstock’. 😁

Probably will do several like it and with the Supernova markers as kind of a signature thing, except the Meadowhawk and if I’m doing a vintage thing.
