What about shipped to Western EU?

Hey White, thank you for your interest. This projact is in the freezer, just like my garden. while it's beginning to warm up again, it's still wet occasionally and I havent found a good time to continue working on this yet. When it's good weather I don't want to, and when I want to, the weather...

I have done quite a bit to thuis build, and not taken enough pictures of the process :( I'm currently thinking of a good headstock shape, but I really can't think of anything good. I came up with this, and it still looks odd to me. The size is another thing I just can't decide, haha.

Hey there again! Just letting you all know that I don't have the room to work on this inside the house, so I have to work outside. Lately the weather has been cold and wet, not really the right environment to work. I have done a little bit here and there over a few good days, and I will update...

Not an expert either, and I must admit I haven't read the full thread. I've been listening some dubstep here and there for a few years now, before it got all hyped up. dubstep to me is an oscilliating bass wobble sound, wich is slow and low, with electronic sounds mixed in. The extra sounds can...

I routed the truss rods yesterday, and glued the fretboard in today. Sorry, no pictures of the routings. Also cut up the body today, see pics :> I will try and calculate where the output jack is coming, and how think the body will get and see where the electronic cavity will be. When I...

Oh, oops, I read that as T rods. VH advised me to do dual truss rods, and thus I have not inquired if they sell them, but the rods do appear on their webpage. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

VH gave me a deal on the ABM bridges, coming in at €25 each. What can I say... just my manly charms I bet. I still haven't routed the neck, so I will give the truss rod issue some more thought. Will draw out a rough shape on the neck in a bit, but I can say I like my neck a little bulky...

I will be very careful with these rods. They aren't really that heavy. Although I can't really judge that, as these are the first truss rods I held in my hands. I can only say that they are a lot lighter then I would have imagined. The Vox Humana people gave me a tip about the rod though, as...

Today I went to Vox Humana in Vlaardingen (near Rotteram) and picked up two truss rods on advice of the salesman. He made sense to me and convinced me :) The rods were €23 each. 10mmx10mmx600mm. But, as I was as a little kid in a candy shop, I brought home a lot of other things I needed as...

Hey Clint, thanks for stopping by in my thread :) MY body is turning out a little bit (read: a lot) wider then yours, but I do intend to scrape some extra weight off later.

Just finished sanding the neck into shape (roughly). The part after the 12th fret (most towards the head) still needs a lot of work with the belt sander, but after arching my back the entire afternoon it was complaining and telling me to take a break, so I just finished the part where the...

Haha, just plain old wax paper. I love "old" secrets like this. Never would have thought wood glue wouldn't hold on it. Thanks for the tip again :)

Thanks for the compliment Robert :) I'll keep the masking tape in mind (why didn't I think of that?) for other glueing. I let it dry on some newspapers, and today I had to sand off glue, wood and newspaper. Hopefully I can get the neck roughly shaped tomorrow. tuesday I'm planning to pick up...

After 25 hours I took the clamps off and looked at the ravage that was my neck. there was glue everywhere and it was a mess. Got the band sander out and made it all pretty again. One closeup from the neck and one overall shot of what it will roughly look like. Also a picture of my shiny...
