Parts ordered
During the week I bit the bullet and ordered the parts from the US.
So,this is how its going to look now -No more "procrastinating" over the hardware colour etc.
I have decided to use the Gold hardware ,mainly because the Nickle was just too hard to get from one supplier,Cream binding and a Vintage Pearl pickguard.
The top and back will be Tassie Blackwood .I ordered the top from Bob down at Tasmanian Tonewoods and the body and back from the Anogate.
I am going to make my own neck.I have a couple of pieces of Rock maple that I have had for about 6 years and a birds eye maple fretboard that I will slot myself.
The switch and knobs might be black to break up the gold a bit.
I have ordered most of the parts from Warmoth ,(mainly due to the postage cost I was already up for ,for the pickguard.)
The rest of the parts I have ordered from the old faithfull Stewmac.
It was an interesting exercise as I have never used Warmoth before and I did find that the prices are a little cheaper,but we will see what the service is like.
I suppose its time for some pics
