Hello,
I've been working on this project for several months now. Hollowing and adding a new top to an rg body. Complete makover. I love ibanez necks for playability and quality, but I never really liked the way RGs look with their pointy horns and pointy headstock. I'm trying for something a little unique.
sanding the body:
finished sanding the top and profiling the horns:
planning the chambers:
drilling out the chambers with various brad point and forstner bits
routing the chambers:
bending the top:
glueing the top
I have finished the guitar, but haven't finished taking pictures. I will complete more shortly. I only had the muscle to sand the top, so the rear and sides got black paint, while the spruce top is clear gloss. It looks pretty good. Not super sexy figured maple, but pretty nice!
