New JS build

[andyt]

Ok been slacking over the summer, so deceided it time for another build. Loving the JS body shape recently so thought I'd give it a go. This is my first body from scratch - found a slab of mahogany on the bay £17, thought it was a bit of a bargin. The guy said it was cheap because it was small? but was big enough for a jem

Bit of router work later

Then tried the angle grinder & some sandpaper to rough out the contours


Plenty more sanding to do

Cool. I look forward to seeing the final product.

What color is it going to be?

[andyt]

going to be something flashy!

[Myst and rain]

I've always thought this would be a great color for a JS. It's Fender's Bright sapphire metallic.

[andyt]

I'm a big fan of flashy & tasteless so it will probably be both

[Myst and rain]

I'm curious to see what it'll end up being.

Yeh Al, bought a sanding disk for the angle grinder yesterday - carves wood real fast!
Remember... don't fear the router.



went for an all access neck joint, why have to put up with a JS slab joint if you don't have to?

Nothing beats a home-brewed AANJ Joe Satriani Copy. ;-)

[andyt]

nice..7 string?...is it finished?

[Orochimaru]

I always liked the JS models but I hated the neck joint. I think I would die for a JS with AANJ.

The neck joint isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Not bad Andy, I would say paint it sky blue, like this:
