Winter Build off 2018 Walter Ardie

[Scoops]

Bummer. Been there. Hope you had backups.

Yes, we had backup.

Downside, my recording system (Mackie Onyx) isn't supported past win 7, so if I want a new computer, I'll need to get a new recording interface.

I was just talking to a friend who was in this exact same dilemma with Windows and interface (he bought a new interface).

1. “Isn’t supported” may not mean “doesn’t work”.

2. Whatever happened to class compliance? Or is that just a Mac thing?

I have that question posted to a different forum.

Life's a beach

Are you suggesting I go swimming?

Most people swim in the sea....

Use the beach for drinking silly cocktails with umbrellas in them and getting sand in your bits and pieces....

Thanks @ctmullins

The bling is the thing. Brotherhood of the bling, unite! Bling über alles!

Update,

I elected to build a different neck for this instrument. Nothing wrong with the last one, and it will be used in a different build.

So in the pic you see quite a few things.
1) The Katalox booked matched FB was almost used for this. I like it but the color match isn't quite there.
2) The new neck is in clamps as I am gluing down the FB, which is another piec e of Malaysian Ebony
3) Alot of us use wax paper when doing glue up. I like using Waxtex as it yields more of a vintage tone

Let the great 'tone-paper' debate begin.

Exactly

What's the best paper for metal?

Beat me to it! That’s what I get for going outside and doing something!

 

[postalflunkie]

I prefer parchment paper (makes everything more official)

Classic!

Update,

Got the pups routed, and the neck mostly fabbed up, with the FB being pretty level.
More tomorrow.

 

[ctmullins]

Shiny!

Using my router sled, I cut the face of the headstock.

Cheers and thanks for looking
