Building a jazzbox...update!!

televiking · September 4th, 2006, 11:46 AM

Hey all...

Now the neck is finally glued on and I'm making the headstock decal.

(If you want to see how I got this far see this thread http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bad-dog-c...t-jazzbox.html )

Since I want to use my lovely wife's name how do you think this would look?

And what a wife, she has been supporting this project from the start, even though I have a LOT of guitars and only play as a hobby. So naming a beautiful guitar after my beautiful wife is only appropriate, don't ya think?

Anyway, looking forward to your opinions.

Lookin' AMAZING!

I missed the first thread, so I'm going back to read it now, but from what I can see, you're doing an absolutely fantastic job!

That's awesome! And the decal is a beautiful tribute to your wife, I hope she appreciates it as much as you appreciate her.

Very nice indeed! Some day I'll build a jazz box. I'm just finishing up a Ric-type guitar right now and will take a break from building for a while.

What type of finish are you planning? Pickup?

You're still in the honeymoon phase of marriage......

I'm thinking clear lacquer, very thin layer.

And no pickup just yet, maybe I'll keep it acoustic. But if I put a pickup on it will be this:

And yes, I'm still in thehoneymoon phase and proud of it...

And now the laquer has been applied.
Tomorrow will tell if it needs another coat..

Hey that's the birth place of my Broadcaster clone!
Vesa is a nice guy, isn't he.

Yes he is.
And the first and probably last reneissance genius I have had the opportunity to meet.

And THANKS for the heads up on him, bro!

Next time you finish something with F holes, you can try blowing up a few ballons inside the body to keep the over spray out.
