Sort of R450
After the challenge its time for a fresh build!
It will be a sort of R450 not accurate but just a cool guitar. This weekend I draw up some plans. Today I made the template and glued the bodyblank. The body will be alder, Lollar Imperial buckers and a tom bridge.

Very cool, I love the plan, it has a very clean look, and it compliments the shape beautifully. What do you plan to use for neck wood?

I'm really liking this too. I've been planning on building a guitar for my daughter and had been thinking of something along the lines of a Tulip but this has thrown that out the window. Will be watching this one closely - seeing as you're building it, chances are it will be ridiculously awesome

Neckblank and fingerboard prepared

Wetted fretboards. (2x muninga and one bubinga)

Trussrod and headstockshape routed, now I have to know exactly what bridge to use I cannot because I cannot calculate the neckangle if I don't have the bridge...

Those boards all look nice. Is that one of the two muminga boards that you slotted? Looks like it from the color in the last photo. I'm not familiar with that type of wood. Is there another name for it? It looks kind of like that Osage orange colored hardwood.

And another question: what did you use to cut the angle for the headstock face? Table saw? Router sled? Bandsaw? None of the above?

Muninga is also known as "klaat" its south african I believe, very stable but just a tad less dense as rosewood. I did a test and it holds the frets well and it have the right "ring" for a fretboard.

For the headstock angle I used the bandsaw and a plane.

Thanks - I love the color, it's not as red as the bubinga. Nice work!

Nice.

I'm itching to make some progress on a couple guitars I started a while ago but I still have 2 more tables to finish off first.
