Rosewood Soloist Build

[Hagwood]

Bathroom remodel

Exactly, not the kind of wiring I want to do.....

 

[Hagwood]

I see some good black and gold strat knobs on Reverb

thanks, I'll check those out as well.

Thanks, now if I don't screw the neck up..... Gonna be a little scary cutting into such a nice (and expensive) neck.

Put some music, take your time and take one sure step at a time and you'll do fine.

Thanks for the encouragement. Music and Scotch are Mandatory for all my projects…….

Haul ass!

Got the knobs and blade switch tip in today, very happy with them. Should be everything now, gonna try cutting out the headstock tomorrow, then start taping the body for the taped accent line.

I DO see something directly under the middle of the bridge, between the D and G saddles that I have seen before, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

LOL, I’ve definitely had a few comments about that…. I guess it’s better than a devil’s face though

Middle of an onion, or perhaps a tulip bulb.

Gonna be great. Can't wait to see the headstock. I've thought of doing something custom myself.

sort of like Georgia O'Keeffe's later abstract landscape and flower work.

More pics please ... especially side views! I love the contrast between the top and the back.

uh, yes, upon second look I believe you are correct

Thanks, I was originally planning a slightly darker color on the back so that I could do a natural taped accent line with the light swamp ash (the reason I didn’t do roasted), but now I’m not sure…..

 

[Hagwood]

Whew, now I can relax. Slightly nerve racking, but after quite a bit of hand sanding to finish it off I think it turned out pretty dang good…..

 

[Spud]

Great job!

 

[Hagwood]

Great job!

Thanks ! Now for the taped accent line tomorrow.

I can see your really in a groove with this one, it’s coming together nicely, slick!

I don’t get it… although I’ve been married for a while, so that’s probably why

You mean, you don't help to chop onions.
