I created templates from the routing guide pdf file, and routed out the front of the guitar. I will route out the back tomorrow, and get ready to route out the hard part (The Lions Claw).

Here is the neck for the Jem ready for paint and hardware. Still awaiting paint choice. I recently ordered all of the hardware (All chrome, which will match any color she chooses).

Got the body for the Jem7v, have to finish the routing. It is very interesting starting these projects, rescuing parts from the manufacture throw piles. Continuing the manufacture’s process of building the guitar it was meant to be, despite its flaws. I hope to have the routing done this weekend on this and the Warlock.

That’s right, I built a workbench in a weekend. Getting closer to getting everything ready for guitar building. I will post some pics soon on the progress of Project Warlock.

I just receive my replacement neck for my Warlock. It is awesome,  I can’t wait to start painting and assembling it.

Going to be working on my new project this next week. Can’t wait to start designing and building my guitars. I hope to have at least five designs before next year’s guitar show in the spring.

Hello All,

I finally got my domain back after a few years of being on wordpress.com. Life has been better since then. New job, new home, and a big list of projects are on their way.

It has been a while since I have updated anything on this project. I have stripped all of the paint off of the body and started to route out the holes for the new tremolo and pickups.
