Next batch of builds on the bench... Maple necks with Flame Maple, Richlite (again) and Wenge fretboards. Bodies in Ash, Sipo, Korina and Sipo with Flame Maple top. Doesn't look too fancy at the moment but they will when "finished"
Introducing the Pinky Dinky
Mahogany/Alder 3-and-a-bit-piece SS body, Maple (reverse F-style) neck, Richlite fretboard, Gotoh fixed bridge (Cosmo Black), Gotoh 381 tuners (Cosmo Black), Irongear "Metal Machine" pup and Amaranth Red matte finish
Started on the hand carving elements of this build today; neck and tummy carve... and this handsome forearm carve. Yep, that's Ebony there
What's been happening in the Kemp workshop this week so far...
Firstly, sorting out some wood for the new batch of customs just started, including this Ash (custom 7-string SD carvetop) body with Maple neck and Flame Maple fretboard...
And today @webrthomson I've been carving the Leopardwood neck...
Flame Maple and lots of...
Coming in to land...
About to get to work on finishing the Leopardwood DC - been waiting two weeks for Tru-Oil delivery. In the meantime, the latest batch of (Maple) necks now ready for carving. This will be done after the bodies have been routed out and are ready for finishing...
Leopardwood thru-neck looking a little bit dull as I finish sand it... @webrthomson ;That'll all change tomorrow ☺
I'll post pics tomorrow ☺
It's full steam ahead with the next build whilst I'm slapping those Tru-Oil coats on the Leopardwood DC. In all it's Maple glory... it's another 6-string custom DC. The finish on this is going to be quite exquisite, but you'll have to wait until it's done to find out what it will look like
More routing and messy shenanigans in the Kemp workshop today...
First up, some sawdust ...
All cleaned up...
Warning: Pic heavy post
Hope you're all having a good weekend. I've been wiring up some Fishman's and finished this wild beast... @webrthomson
