The 007 build

I had some nice Tort laying around that I turned into parts for #007.

We'll see what turns out with this.

By 007, I thought you were building a guitar filled with all sorts of gadgets, like for a spy

Hey, if they can put machine guns in Britney Spear's boobies, then just think what Roman can fit his guitars with..

Thanks Roman, that Korina does look sweet. Looking forward to seeing some more pictures as 007 progresses. Can't wait to hear the sound differences of the Korina.

I think it's gonna be the less-wordy but straight-down-to-business Daniel Craig version. Not as dark as the original, but plays hard like the real thing should.

Funny too seeing the body pic upthread I was just flashing back to sanding down to the pencil line. I need to get my ass back up to Shasta.

Re: The 007 build

This one is actually limba, it does look a bit "spruced up" in that pic.

Here is the neck roughed out with headstock wings



Fingerboard is glued on and fretted. This one gets no dots.



Random shop cat photo...........This is my Amp Gargoyle. No one is getting near my vintage Silvertone.............No one.

Looks delicious! The grain on the belly cut area looks especially great.
