There's one jack and one insert for a strap lock

It sounds amazing... Sound clips are still on my to do list! I do have one recording in which I use it, don't mind the playing haha

The pickups are Aguilar J70s, the preamp is Glockenklang. Knobs in active are volume, balance, treble, mid, bass (boost/cut), and in passive (push/pull volume) the treble functions as a low pass tone. The bolts on the back hold inserts in the front for access to the truss rod and for a detachable ra...

Thanks! Can you mention some things you would have done differently?

Thanks all! You are right, it's macassar

Oh wow!! Congratulations! It's stunning

How does it play? How does it SOUND??

Oh now I see! What did you do to fix it?

Beautiful! I love the abalone.

And so it starts! http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/frederiek2/1_zps9zmpz8gd.jpg http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/frederiek2/2_zps4kgdjr6c.jpg http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/frederiek2/3_zpszppswfn2.jpg http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/frederiek2/4_zps0m49uuxo.jpg ht...

Thanks Alex! Reminds me I have to update here :) http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/frederiek2/2017-03-14%2023.04.11_zpsnar8z4fr.jpg http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/frederiek2/2017-03-15%2015.01.27_zpsdzojds45.jpg http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/frederiek2/2017-03-21%2020.40....

Small update! I drilled wiring holes, which was a lot easier than expected. PU wire channel came out in the perfect spot in the cavity. For the ground wire I dug a small hole with my dremel tool to have some starting point for the drill bit. I only found my biggest drill bit rigid enough, the smalle...

I finished the channel and squared the neck at the body section again and glued the pieces together! Then I started carving, and learned that I should have left a bit more wood at the back of the neck. I'm happy though with how it turned out and how it feels. Drilled holes for the knobs, for the jac...

Thanks very much for your elaborate answer! It was most useful, last night I bit the bullet and glued the neck and body together. The fit of the straight channel is tight but I purposely left a very small gap for expansion around the fingerboard in the top. I may have to fill it up later but I just ...

Dankjewel! It's a multipurpose vice or patternmaker's vice. I love it and I don't know what I'd do without it ;) Been busy for two half days this weekend and made some pretty good progress. I thinned the headstock further as you suggested and drilled the holes for the tuners. Test-fitted the tuners ...

I brought the headstock thickness down to 14 and it even looks a lot better! Thanks everyone

Right, to measure is to know :) To be honest I have no idea of 'standard' headstock thicknesses, nor of how far the posts should protrude - is there a rule of thumb? I did measure the tuners when I made the blueprints, and if I did it correctly I could use them with a thickness between 11 and 18 mm ...
