demonx Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Looks great. Inlays turned out great. That fingerboard timber is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Your inlay cavities look great. WAAAAYYYY better than mine. I need to remember to do that primer thing. Your fretwire is huge! Or maybe it's just the picture, I don't know. But those frets look massive! Micheal, thanks, fretwire is just normal jumbo size Holy cow I checked out your inlays, total respect for how insanely fiddly that must have been Realy nice inlay work man. Cheers Paulie, how it turns out half a cool as your lefty Looks great. Inlays turned out great. That fingerboard timber is stunning. thanks Neck angle at 4 deg pocket cut everyones fav neck test Does it get to the stage where the neck pocket is too tight for the glue?

andyt Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 cheers Chucking it down with rain again today, so thought I'd do a bit more Heres hoping.. phew Is it in the right place? Wilkinson wraparound bridge - went on the stewmac site scale calc & it said 25.006" or what ever to the centre of the posts, but luckily I noticed that they changed the design from this bridge to the newer one. This one, the saddle ends are 6mm further forward than where the centre of the posts would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 cut the pickup plane at 2 deg to transfer from the bridge to the neck angle and the routed the bridge pickup and now can start the carve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ljbarbeau Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Did you make the birds inlay or did you buy them? If you bought them where did you? If you made them did you find a template somewhere? Everything looks great btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) I found a cad drawing of DC that I updated to SC with a Tremonti as reference. I also found drawings of the "version 1" birds. Use as you wish. I think I have it as 24 fret version as well. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33083441/PG/Tremonti%2022_v2.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33083441/PG/Tremonti%2022_v2.dwg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33083441/PG/Tremonti%2022_v2.dxf Edit: Added links for dwg and dfg as well /Kenneth Edited April 29, 2012 by Kenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Cheers allFound the birds on ebay while searching for side dots, last min purchase otherwise I wouldn't have attempted my first inlay on a board that was already glued on, bound and radiused Roughed out the carve today with the angle grinder Marked it out cutouts with a drum sander in the piller drill started smoothing out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idmicheal Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 It's always scary drilling the hole for the pickup wires to get into the control cavity. I've done it on an old Kramer that I put a neck pup in. I missed the bridge pickup cavity with the drill bit and ended up coming out into the spot where the tremolo springs are anchored, so I fed the wires through the hole the ground wire goes through *act casual* Looking good. I was wondering if you were planning on leaving it with just one pickup, which is pretty atypical for a PRS, but it could be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idmicheal Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Zebra pickups were a good choice. Too many people hate on Zebra and I can't figure out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestorationAD Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 That is a very tasty stain job. Amazing that you are able to be the greatest swirl engineer I have ever seen (your Jem swirls are amazing) and you are great at stains and other things. It is not fair.
