Brand new build

Well, another commission has come in, this time based on a Wedgetail design. Bit of a different shape and style from the ones I’ve built before, but I’m always up for a new challenge.

It’s going to be another all Australian build, so far I’m thinking with the following components:

• Southern Silky Oak cap
• Bunya Pine body.
• Either Burdekin Plum, Australia Rosewood, or  Lacewood for the Fret Board.
• Silver Quandong Neck.

Other specs I’m planing on:

• 6 in line Tuners
• Tusq nut.
• Fret wire to be discussed along with scale length. Either 25.5 or 25    Fretboard radius still to be decided.
• Bolted neck as per original Wedgetail.
• Bigsby with Roller saddle bridge.
• 2 x Mick Brierley P90 pickups with Black covers. 500k pots.
• Separate Tone & Vol pots for pickups, still to be discussed.
• Top Carved or Flat to be discussed.
• Binding, colour & finish still to be discussed.

Anyway, we’re up and rolling and just waiting for the timber to turn up. All supplied by David Linton from Australian Guitar Timbers.

Looking forward to getting into it and bringing you along!
