    Stick a veneer on the plastic cover, the plastic will give it strength and the wood will look nice.
    Agree on the oak, neck looks gorgeous imo

      Cheers mate, that's a good idea with the veneer

    It’s like a summer sunset when the top catches the light, and the streaks look perfectly in keeping. The contrast with the natural wood makes me think of wheat fields for some reason, and will only harmonise more as that part naturally ages over time.

      What a nice image! Thank you for that, mate, really appreciate it :)

    I haven’t seen anyone contrast amber with natural wood on a body before, I really like it! 👍

      Thanks mate, I'm really happy with the look :) it's certainly uncommon, that's for sure!

    Loving the mismatch pickups, I think it helps the bespoke feel of the guitar

      Thanks mate! If mismatched pickups are good enough for Jimmy Page, they're good enough for me haha

      Thank you very much Graham! Yes those streaks are somewhat of a happy accident haha

    Looks awesome dude. I've no ideas on typical guitar finish oils, but 'Osmo' is well renowned more generally in woodworking and being water based is safe and pretty easy to handle.

    • @AlexisGuitars

      Thanks mate, I'll definitely look into that!

    Die furnierte Platte hat sich gebogen, weil Du nur einseitig furniert hast. Du musst so dünne Platten beidseitig furnieren, dann egalisieren sich Kräfte und die Platte bleibt grade. Hab ich gerade erst bei meinem Pickguard wieder gelernt. 😉

    • @AlexisGuitars
      @AlexisGuitars  3 роки тому +1

      Danke fur den Tipp! Hoffentlich schaffe ich es, ein neue Platte vor der Deadline zu machen. Ansonsten bleibe ich bei diesem Plastikteil

    I've gone Iron Gear pickups (again) for my GGBO build

    • @AlexisGuitars
      @AlexisGuitars  3 роки тому

      Cool, which ones are you going for? I'm a big fan of IronGear pickups. They're great for mod projects and experimenting without causing too much of a dent in the bank account!

    • @Furtheronmusic

      On this it is a Rolling Mill set with overwound on the bridge.
      I've used them on two other builds before, the texas locos and Steam hammer combo in an HSS build (the Texas locos are especially impressive), and a rolling mill hb and p90 combo.
      Probably going to use some in revamp of a tele I've got

    • @AlexisGuitars
      @AlexisGuitars  3 роки тому

      Looking forward to hearing your guitar with them! I really like the overwound Rolling Mill. I haven't tried their single coils so thanks for the tip about Texas locos

    You still have a couple of weeks to make a cover there's plenty of time yet to make a cavity cover that you're happy with

    • @AlexisGuitars
      @AlexisGuitars  3 роки тому

      Cheers mate, we'll see what I can do. Might just stick a veneer on one of my last attempts as I'm too busy in the next two weeks

      @@AlexisGuitars would still look better than that plastic one cause it doesn't even fit too well
      So any improvement wil be an improvement on that ;)

    • @AlexisGuitars

      Haha absolutely. Like I said in the video, it'll happen, just a question of when
