Another Rosewood neck!!!....please stop fellas.....you're going to push me into buying one.....
Looks great @paulnb57 ;

Do it they are sublime!

I had a PRS Custom 22 Artist with a solid Rosewood neck and board a while back which I sold to buy a PRS DGT .  I really miss the luxurious feel of that Rosewood neck.   I think I will have to do it on a Tele at some point.   I can feel a bit of googling coming on..

Lovely guitar you are making @paulnb57 ;

I will soon be back in my workshop full time, my house is now nearly repaired so hopefully full production will start in two weeks. If you’re looking for Rosewood neck that you don’t have to take out a second mortgage on I have some in stock, I will also be making moor soon.

That’s good news x2!

Good to hear that your house is nearly sorted @GSPBASSES  and please let me know re the RW necks when you’re operational again.  I seem to have acquired a load more body wood, and a stack of suitable caps too, so I’ll be needing some more necks to go with them ...

Paint progress,

That’s looking awesome, great work. Wish I had the skill to do this.

paulnb57

Love the first one, and the way that you’ve still got the grain visible under the paint.

^^^ what he said!

What are you using (paint/kit) and what sort of environment have you got set up to do the painting?

lamf68 id doing the paint...its way beyond me! I asked for the Copper one to have a sunk into the grain finish..
The Copper will have subtle ageing and cracking, the White Blonde will not...paint on both is Nitro..

Ahhhhhhh

Looks like he’s doing a good job!

Hiya- well after sitting on a fantastic @GSPBASSES Strat body & neck for a couple of years I have finally got a waterslide 
decal from Rothko & Frost and given it to @GoldenEraGuitars for a clear nitro finish on the body and front of the neck. Here's the body:



It is black korina back with a koa top and routed for a non-fine tuner Floyd. I don't have a picture of the neck but it is a beautiful piece of rosewood with a lightly figured maple board and a CBS headstock, as I mentioned the neck will be thin nitro on the front and I am going to oil the back- probably with the Crimson finishing oil. I have all the hardware so hoping it'll be put together soon after the finish is applied, can't wait!

paulnb57

Great stuff!
