Walnut Hollowbody Build

[Coralkong]

Dude, I am drooling over this thing.

 

[altoidman]

 

[Elias Graves]

So far so good.

 

[Elias Graves]

And the top sanded down to size.

 

[Elias Graves]

Getting the neck joint cleaned up.

 

[Elias Graves]

Dig it!

 

[telecaster911]

Looks great

 

[CBHScott]

Going great!

 

[Elias Graves]

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Very cool.

That tailpiece still makes me think of a pint of Guinness.
That's a good thing, by the way.

 

[Elias Graves]

Six strings!

 

[telecaster911]

Well, how does it sound?

 

[Punchy]

Wow, looking good!

 

[Elias Graves]

Well, how does it sound?

 

[jelloman]

That's not a bad thing...

How's the action?

 

[Elias Graves]

That's not a bad thing...

How's the action?

No. It's not built to be an acoustic guitar. That its loud is what it is.

With the sandpaper shim under the nut, pretty damn good.
I do have an alignment problem, however. Assessing.

 

[Elias Graves]

Hmm. Here's the fix for the alignment problem.
First one to spot it gets a cookie.

 

[telecaster911]

hmmm, if the high e were in the right place on the saddle it would be off the fretboard? Kinda hard to tell.

 

[jelloman]

Yer gonna have you some 'tonation problems with the bridge like that son...

 

[Elias Graves]

Yer gonna have you some 'tonation problems with the bridge like that son...

Haven't even looked at that yet.
Ill get to it.

And I want to change my assessment of the sound.
