Ok, I'm learning an awful lot very quickly. Before I fell and broke a rib last week, I decided to start a new solid body. So far, I've made one out of my head, the last one was based on a Gibson Les Paul.
This is my next one. Duesenberg Starplayer Special - something I've lusted after for quite a few years since seeing it being played at a gig somewhere.

It'll be a bit longer in the making as I'm going to use genuine Doosy hardware which is a bit expensive.
I've made the neck - my first attempt at this - and it's turned out very well so far. I wanted to have a veneer of Wenge on the headstock so I spent a couple of pain filled hours fine adjusting the bandsaw after fitting the 32mm King Resaw blade. I was aiming for 1.00mm or less. No test run because I only had 1 piece suitable for a veneer. It was only 3.5mm thick and 100mm wide.
this is the result. Note the reading. It's the same, 0.77mm on all sides.

Okokok!:wink: That's just a brag but pretty cool I think. :pA wonderful machine and blade. :2tsup:
More to follow....I promise!
cheers
