Here's a new Mosrite project I started a few days ago.The body is two piece poplar and the neck is a three piece, two piece book-matched maple and one piece mahogany.I still don't have a profile template for the neck yet so it looks like I might have to take all the measurements and draw it up in auto-cad witch I'm trying to avoid(just being lazy right now).Any ways I'm gonna try n get some more work done today and I'll post more pics later.

Re: New project
Cool! Let us know how it progresses. From the looks of the markings on the body, this one will have a stop tailpiece too, right?

Re: New project
Building one's own guitar is really exciting...and wonderful to stand by and watch too. Great stuff, we'll gladly keep looking for new developments as you progress

Re: New project
A little more sanding and the body will be done but that will have to wait till next weekend.
Mel-I will be installing an excellent vibrato I bought a few months back,I just can't own a guitar with out a vibrato.I am using the markings just as a kinda reference(even tho they are offset) for the vibrato.
Austin-As far as finish goes I'm not sure yet I was thinking about doing a metal flake in maybe a blue or silver, who knows...I'll figure it out when I get to that point.

Yeah only he made his vibrato.Although I am very tempted to buy a low budget milling machine and make my own or try and sand cast one,I would like to give it a shot though.

Re: New project
Wonce upon a time in a galaxy far far away, Idid some sand casting with aluminum, its not real hard, but you need a whole lot of heat to melt the aluminun, and quite a bit of aluminum. Don't know how knowlegeable you are about this, but it's best to read up on it or talk to someone that does it a real lot. Be careful.

I've never done any sand casting but I am familiar with it,there are some good how too's(and not so good) on you tube.
