Marshwood Remodel

More work has been done on this cool project: sanding is 75& complete, extra pickup cavity added, the old logo's pearl inlay has been removed so that the router for the new one will cut nice and smooth, a new veneer has also been added. It is looking good! The Clash's star design will be installed around the 12th fret in a red reconstituted stone. Rudy Can't Fail!

The neck and body are joined! Now the fun part begins with the shaping of the neck heel and "gut-cut." Then a final sanding up to 220 grit, some pore-filling (more sanding) and some lacquer. This body-style will be one of the "standard models" offered by Marshwood Guitars. I like it. It features a slight bevelled edge around the body which will eliminate any harsh edge. This was tried on the Prototype (March 3, 2011) and seemed to make a difference in comfort.

Remodel

Here is a older Marshwood which is going to get a facelift. New finish, add logo, etc. Should be a fun project. It is a thin hollowbody (17" wide) made from maple.

Beetle Kill Electric: Neck

Before gluing in the neck I want to get as much done as possible. So, back of the neck has been roughly shaped, the logo and frets have been inlayed this time using aluminum and the fretboard leveled and frets installed. A little more work to the body and this neck is getting glued in.

12th Fret Inlay

Here are a couple pictures of the Mountain Pine Beetle inlay which will be installed on the 12th fret. There will be two smaller ovals of pearl on the 9th and 15th fret positions as well. The material is abalone.
