Hey Superwoodle,

I own a few sabers and always wished that they had more uninhibited fret access in the upper registry. Are you going to give it more of a "Cooley" scoop on the lower horn? It seems that now would be the time to do it if you were going to. Unless you already have enough access as it is, that is.

EDIT:

this thread

EDIT #2: Found the thread I was thinking of. Like this: S7320 RGD Mash Up

I had to avoid the center of the neck, else the screws would hit my truss rod.

Yup, defiantly going with a scoop.

holy shit this is gonna be awesome hurry up and finish the damn thing all ready

Spaceman_Spiff · 11-20-2011, 12:45 AM

Killer build so far man!

I was wondering, are you going to go with the concept of having it thin as hell on the sides or keep it relatively thick?

Go To Bed Jessica · 11-20-2011, 05:59 AM

Total respect. This is an amazing build - looking forward to watching the rest of it as it progresses.

I'm not sure, I made the center of the body 1.75" thick, so it may be thicker,

Superwoodle · 11-20-2011, 06:33 PM

More progress!

Rosewood cavity cover.

Have to order electronics and finish.

theo · 11-20-2011, 06:40 PM

this is looking very nice

Origin · 11-20-2011, 06:45 PM

I was eating pizza when I clicked the last page button, then the pic of it on the stand made me choke on it and sputter.

...., that's a good idea/beautiful. So well done too.

Jonisbrutal · 11-21-2011, 12:21 AM

You should put a no-load tone pot!

skeels · 11-22-2011, 08:49 PM

Dude, that is kick ass. I love the S body. The neck doesn't look as wide as most 8s- can you lay the specs on us?

AxeHappy · 11-25-2011, 06:07 PM

As awesome as it looks it needs to thin out towards the edges. Sabers are all about being thin as .....

Aevolve · 11-28-2011, 08:55 AM

Instead of the opaque white, do the map of Skyrim on the body.

... seriously this build is awesome.

Spaceman_Spiff · 11-28-2011, 09:27 AM

^As much as I love Skyrim...and as much of a joke I know that is...bad idea Jones...

This build is so damn killer I'm honestly glad he's taking his time and not rushing to get things done. Mostly because it will be that much better with the time and patience it's getting, and also because when this is done I will need a GAStro intestinal bypass.

Khoi · 12-07-2011, 04:07 PM

this build is awesome. The Saber is actually one of my favorite body shapes ever, I love the thin bodies, they just seem to resonate like crazy

and I just noticed you're from St. Pete! where in St. Pete? I'm from there as well, but go to school in Gainesville

It's at this point that I feel justified in asking for a progress report
