[eclipze]

tremolo assemblied... minus roller saddle.. still in process

thanks everyone

and....

this is IT.....
trem plate stavac material
trem blocks brass material...
this thing is ... rigid !! yess... i like it .. i think it'll have a full sound than a regular thin strat trem..
knock it a little and u can feel the difference tone with a regular thin strat trem plate + thin trem block he he he

carving the letters ...

 

[eclipze]

the back of it... string mounting hole

smooth

 

[eclipze]

the letters were carved to the STAVAC steel surface...

well there are finger prints everywhere....

got a little scar on the plate... next time it would be better ...

infected by diy virus?

 

[eclipze]

i think i maybe working on my own guitar soon, just need to learn how to make the neck !!!! google doesnt seem to help on this haha

the neck... first u need to know the size of the fingerboard and nut (if u r using a regular nut or a locking nut floydrose had).. & the size of the join neck body.... n then decide it.. wanna make a bolt on or a set in neck
its more like... measuring every important part of the necks
try to measure ur guitar neck i recommend using a caliper .. will be more precise
once u know the measurement than u can make the neck

good luck

Wow, you are good at both wood and metal works... amazing. Seriously, you should start a business in guitar and parts making. I guess there will be good demand in this forum.

But first, quench our thirst by showing us the completed guitar.
