    New models are coming along, this will get glued in tomorrow, this weighs 6lb at the moment and it's difficult coming back from lightweight and comfortable to play anything else





    ^ That tops cracking - can I ask what it is?
    It's figured English ash, I've got another piece that'll do a carved top, looks lovely, it's getting a burst

    I went to Darren's place a while back and he showed some of his fretboard blanks etc and it's easy to tell how good his stocks are.

    A chambered Evo build, I've been dying to try these mojotrons out, I'm trying out a Les trem because it's lighter than a bigsby, if I don't like it I can put a stop tail on it
    I need to finish the pickup routes and I'm making a headstock veneer to do matching paint
    It's very jangly so should sound about right

    Finally onto finishing, aged TV yellow DC junior and my lightweight evo is getting an ambered look like the old flying v, I'll be doing a stinger just for a bit of contrast

    Figured English ash looking rather nice, not much longer before It can make some noise

    That looks amazing, based on that grain can I nominate English ash for a Gibson scale jazzmaster.

    That'll have to wait and I'm not doing a straight jazzmaster, everyone does those, mine will be a set neck or through neck and a smaller body

    Sounds like perfection to me. Might have to start saving.

    The whole point is to sculpt the heel and in mahogany with humbuckers would kick an sg's arse, be great with a JM trem.

    Sounds good, and practical too. I’ve always though hot filtertrons would smash just about everything -the mojo one are cracking.

    The whole point of these is light, comfortable and easy to play, the sculpting is a game changer for me and  come from a love of vintage guitars but they're badly in need of updating.
