Some of you may have seen that I'm currently playing around with a cheapass SG copy at the minute. I've stripped all the finish off, filled holes, sanded etc etc. Most of all though, I've reshaped the neck from the rather 'orrid chunky baseball bat (honest to god, thinker than a Gibson) to something asymmetric and a lot thinner. Unfortunetly as I was drinking beer while reshaping the neck (I'd also has a smoke or two), I went a little too close to the truss rod cavity and I wasn't very happy with the strength of the neck. So..........
.........I'm doing a carbon fibre laminate on the back of the neck :guitar4: I'm also going to put a piece on the front, just to look nice. I'm going to do some experiments over the next few months but I can't do the actual guitar until the summer
(the resin goes cloudy in humidity and it needs to be fairly warm for it to go off).
However, my luthier mate has a cheapass Firebird that I can play about with until then. So I have another projerct and a missus that's not going to talk to me anymore :roll:
I'll start to post pics when I've done something interesting with the carbon :)
