Building a twin neck guitar - part 4: Woodwork 2

OK, so I forgot to put this up .....

I'm about to pick this back up, so here's what I hadn't posted a few months ago after doing the head-stocks.

I left it at the point where I decided I needed to safety up a bit .... and here's the result:



So yeah, I touched up the 12 String head a bit. Just sharpening and rounding off a bit:





Next up, the 6 String head

So, I started with a pencil drawn outline on the head-stock


I took off the main bit of the right hand edge and started to "blade" the edge



I sterted to round off the top edge with a view to having a point, or bird beak type end




I very quickly decided the "wavy" top was ridiculous and I would either make it look shit, or screw it up to the point of ruining the head-stock. So I just rounded and smoothed the top edge and balled the bottom left corner


So, yeah that pretty much it.

Just started fixing the neck cavities in the body. I need to level them out.
After that I'll place the electrics to make sure all will fit and make any adjustments if needed. Then? Then ... we pain! Going to do a bass lighter midnight blue before adding the Eddie graphic.

I'll get there eventually.
