I envy you...

Sounds like it will be a good build. How much you looking to invest in this?

Is that a trick question?

 

[Infern0]

By that I mean are you selling your significant other off?

 

[scottyd]

Hmmmmm perhaps you have given me an idea......lol! No I've already invested all thats needed as far as money goes. All thats left to invest now is time and labor.

 

[Infern0]

Bolt on neck correct?

 

[scottyd]

Nope set neck.

 

[Infern0]

It'll be a beaut.

 

[Eric Perry]

[scottyd]

Heres the neck blank. I'll get 2 necks from this blank.

Boy I hope not, If it is I have no problem using it as fuel to heat the house!

 

[scottyd]

I've got the body started, here it is with the Burl Maple top, Santos Mahogany core and Flamed Maple bottom.

Thats beautiful. Are you making the cavity cover kind of like an Elrick?

I'm doing the same thing with my project. It's actually much more easier than cutting the exact shape and making it match perfectly to the back.
