Decided to build another guitar

lundi 12 janvier 2015

Hi all,



I decided to build another electric guitar. My previous ones can be found on threads down below here somewhere. I thought I would make the neck first and if happy with that I will go ahead and purchase some timber to make the body. The neck which I have a couple of photos so far, is made from african mahogany and the fretboard from silky beech. The neck is still early stages in the photo. Since I took the photos this morning I have sanded the 12 inch radius onto the fretboard and also tapered the neck from 56mm down to 42mm. I now have to add a bit more timber onto the head to make it wider.



Now my question is,........I want the body to look nice but simple. I've seen a couple of guitars around with two pickups but just two nobs. Presumably they would be one for volume and one for tone. Any suggestions from your experience on pickups that might do what I am looking for. I want the body to be a very dark colour, possibly australian blackwood.



Any suggestions are most welcome,



Paul
