I was tempted.
That's what she said.
That color is sick. Can't wait to see finished pics + hear demos with that wiring setup.
I'll be sure to. I've been playing in DADFAD a lot lately, which is a relatively unexplored tuning. Open D minor. Everything I've been playing with it sounds good if not really bummy. Minor and major chords are exceedingly easy, minor scales are a breeze, and all sorts of weird chords and patterns are opened up. Any fret barred across the neck becomes a minor chord, and if you add a semitone higher on the F string, it becomes a major chord. It makes sense in theory, too, having the DAD from drop D on the bass strings and the FAD from D standard on the treble strings. It's pretty easy to adapt to. I'll have to show what that's like, with this guitar. I kinda designed it expressly with the idea of playing moody pissy stuff in mind.

finish stripped from binding because it started to yellow a bit much.

Almost done. All that's left is for him to wire in the jag switchplate, route a body pocket for it, and reassemble. Pics of the finished guitar coming as soon as I get them.
I think he did a great job. That's what she said.

Almost done. He just has to route a channel in the body for the jag stuff, wire in the switches, fabricate a brass nut, and reassemble. He also wants to strip the gold finish from the roller trees I got, since I guess I ordered them in gold and it mismatches.

Jaguar switch plate pocket routed. What craftsmanship, this guy.
