Beautiful wood

Cutting out a tele body from some mind-blowing wood.Very brittle, but I have infused it with resin for stability.Seems to work 🙂

Semi-hollow progress

Current progress on the semi-hollow; Got the neck fretted, tuners fitted and fixed it to the body. I handcrafted a volume and tone control from the excess neck wood. The top is still not glued on. It’s held together by double sided tape. Beside that, I still have an installation of Bridge and stopbar/trem to do.Then a lot of fine sanding and details like fret markers and final clear coat before I can wrap this build up 😊

Weight as it is now = 2.9 kg/6.4 lbs

Neck next

The neck is going to be as beautiful as the rest of the guitar. 🙂

Electronics in

Fitted the electronics and added some shading to the front and backside.

Real guitars have curves

Making some curves in the semi-hollow horns. Both for looks, but mainly to get easy access to the lower frets.

Some still pictures of the current work.

Outstanding

When finished, this one will stand out for sure
