1Q22 @SteveRobinson Psychedelic Flying V

SteveRobinson

No, the Chinese shipper was PX4(?) who I'm guessing handled everything at their end.

I am sure I have some "V's" half built in the workshop, all the pickup routes are done and the control pocket's, if you don't mind doing the fretting etc and glueing the neck in, I'm sure we can sort out a very sensible price. I'm not back in the workshop until next Monday, I think there is a 58 V, possibly a V 90 (fender scale) and a modern V.

SteveRobinson

Thanks Graham, I was hoping to make a 67 style with the large pickguard but anything you have would be great thanks. I'm okay at fret work!

It's only January and that's the understatement of the year

I have a mental image of @GSPBASSES workshop being like a Tardis, with all sorts of things tucked away in dusty corners, or hidden away at the back of dark shelves, just waiting to be re-discovered and "come  in handy one day"

Yeah that just about sums it up, I just can't bring myself to throw things away which includes body and necks that are never going to be any good, but you're right there is so much stuff that I forgotten all about, will get it all completed one day if I live that long.

I shall google what is 67 looks like and get back to you, I do make a V that has a really big pick guard so that might be the one.

Graham has saved the day!

Woohoo! Great stuff, Im hoping Graham manages to finish my request in time for this  challenge

From the ridiculous to the sublime. 

ThePrettyDamned

Not bad sir! 

davros

That looks great! It'll be a way better result than the Chinese kit, I'm sure

TTony

Now, just make sure you send it to someone who can do a decent finishing job

Now, I'm not usually a V man, but this has potential to be a great guitar now.

Fretless? Waaaaaaay cool. 

Needs a Bigsby.

I am a V man and I shall be watching this closely. Excited to see this develop, Steve!

Ditto!

I've really not found the time to do much until this week but I now have face and side dots, frets and a nut installed.



I'll glue the neck in tomorrow then it's time to get some paint on.

Fabulous!

Looking forward to seeing this take shape Steve
