    Need to fill a hole on my pickguard... Cool suggestions?

    Well! My first gig with my new band happened last weekend at a "Let's get wasted!" party. I went there on the day of the gig a few hours before-hand to check out where we were playing etc...all looked good! Showed up a couple of hours later & found the guitarist playing his guitar (drunk) and...

    Looks awesome! What is your electronic setup (e.g. VVT+Switch)? You're both making me jealous! :bawl: But mine shouldn't be too far away! I'm going to play it unpainted for awhile :bassist:

    Getting started on a "fender" (?)

    I'm actually making mine out of aluminium as well! :p I was looking at getting a new neck for mine and I'm 90% sure that a standard Fender replacement one will fit. The neck pocket size is the same, but your pickguard will have to cover up the truss-rod adjustment slot. I know Warmoth have the...

    Getting started on a "fender" (?)

    I'm using a Hondo II P for my project as well... I don't know about yours, but the control cavity on mine is too wide for a standard Fender pickguard... Luckily yours came with a pickguard. I had to make my own ;) Also, mine has a plywood body too. Good luck with your project!

    Songs that left you speechless

    "So close" by Rhombus... If you're into dub/atmospheric music check this out! This area of music is one that I personally think New Zealand really excels at! Here's the link if you're interested.. Anyone listen to "The Alan Parsons Project"? "I wouldn't wanna be like you" has gotta be my...

    Well thanks to the rain I didn't leave to go camping today meaning... I finally got the routing done & am very pleased! Next step now is to put the veneer inserts in the fretboard & to re-seal the neck with a clearcoat. Again, will post pics when done :bassist:

    Thanks! Yeah same here ;) Was a bit wary as to how the pickguard would turn out... But so far so good! I also had a guy at my dad's work fabricate a new neck plate which turned out good... Can't wait! :D

    Finally received my parts a few days ago... You'd be amazed how much it costs to send a parcel to New Zealand! Planning to do routing and install bridge & pups in the next few days... Will post pics. BTW J.Crawford... Your one certainly did turn out well!

    What about a 3-way toggle switch? They're a bit smaller I think.... Or do you want to keep it blade switch style?
