I'll get some back and side shots in the next day or so.

 

[TBurst Std]

Sorry for the delay, been busy with work. Got some pics this AM (lighting isn't great though). I will get them uploaded and posted later today. (Side and back shots).

 

[TBurst Std]

Here is a back and side pic. Back finish was trans brown with a clean edge on the sides.

Sweet.

That would look great with a canary/brazilian rosewood (or ziricote) neck.

 

[TBurst Std]

Are you hacked into my computer? I just had a Canary/Macassar Ebony neck up against and thought WOW. Just goingto try an all canary.  :headbang:

 

[TBurst Std]

No on the all canary.
Canary - B Rosewood
Canary - Macassar Ebony
Canary - Ziricote

all look good.

Necro post update:

Well I have had this body for 7+ years now. The plan was to hopefully complete it this year. That is not in the picture now as I lost my job a couple weeks ago. Maybe 2017? Most of it is planned out except for the neck wood. Need to see if a tilt back in brazillian ebony is a possibility. If not, a tilt back in RW/RW will go on it. Already have the pups and tuners for it.

Also made some headway in finishing my Tele body (I think I got it in 2007). Already have the pups for it a well. It is pretty much all planned out. Maybe 2017?

Hoping to land a new job soon, get cash reserves built back up, and finish these, before things come to a point that I have to sell them.

Sorry to hear about your job.  What kind of work are you qualified to do?  What geographical area?  Maybe we forumites can help you network your way into a new gig.

 

[Logrinn]

I, too, am sorry to hear about you losing your job. Hope it all works out for you.

 

[rgand]

Bummer about the job. I hope whatever you find is better for you than the old one.

Sorry to hear about it too. I am a bit in the same boat.

About a month ago I was thinking of ordering a new car and then a week or so later the client pulled various projects and about 2 - 300 of us were let go without notice...

New horizons lie ahead  :icon_thumright:

 

[TBurst Std]

Update. The W can't do a Brazilian Ebony neck in a tilt back.  The only darker colored woods that don't need a finish in a tiltback are RW and Wenge.

 

[TBurst Std]

Just to tie this out. Ended up with an all rosewood neck.  Hoping to finally complete 12 years after the fact.
