custom cut bodies, from me to you!

robertoriginal

i have been making porject bodies for the folks over at shortscale.org and i figured i would offer it up to you folks as well!

i would rather do business with some people that have been around the boards for a while rather than some guest that decides to take adavantage but basically my base prices are.....

basswood tele(standard 40 dollars)

ash tele(standard 55 dollars)

im working on getting some mahogony later today.

i will also do binding for an extra 35 dollars, or just the routes for an extra 10

these are the body styles i am offering right now

telecaster

stratocaster

jag-stang

bronco

musicmaster

p-bass

a mustang varitaion(bronco body with mustang routes)

jazzmaster

les paul(no carved tops and bolt on only!)

and i recently did a bo diddley styled box guitar,

i can also do a mandocaster

or any sort of custom idea that you have, please contact me via PM to talk about differenct options and ideas,

im open to just about anything and you cannot beat my prices considering that just to buy a body blank from most places is 80-150.

what i offer is a raw cut, you will have to do alot of sanding(they leave my shop at 220, and for paint you need at least 320)

here are some photos of bodies that i have already done for people.

this is my own design based on a 60s silvetone.

how much for a jagstang with routes?

Fran

Do you provide a finishing service as well rob? I might be interested in a JagStang body without the trem routes, i'd like a hardtail version, use a Toronado bridge maybe.

robertoriginal

to be completely honest fran, i am staying away from finishing until i get my lil booth made up. right now im just making project bodies to more or less raise money for more tools and equipment(like a new drill press and a proper joiner)

you could always get one and then have hurb paint it, he does a pretty good job.

robertoriginal

this is the next batch of wood

first off, ash.

i can do 1 peice, 2 peice and 3-4 piece (1 peice being the most expensive)

this is mahonagny, nice stuff.

this a selected piece for mickie at the shortscale.

the basswood really sucked this time aroudn so i didn;t pick that much up.

robertoriginal

this is mikes new ash duo sonic.

i really like the grain on this one so i figured i would post it up for fun.

mattis is going to be lucking owner of a chambered jazzmaster body here before too long, i may do an informational thread about wood bending becuz of it, but i have not even really started it yet.

brandon

those look really really good.

I'm looking to get a sheet of tortoise shell, do you know where I could get any that would ship to canada?

robertoriginal

i get my tort from stewmac, its about 35 bucks sheet, makes about two norm sized guards.

CROSS

I like them all, but I think the routing job on the bronco is very poor.

robertoriginal

for a second i thought you were serious, i may have some newer pics of it,

and yes this is a figured mahogany control plate

here it is next to the other one that the guy is getting.

robertoriginal

this is someones lefty mustang

robertoriginal

these are two stangs for some people on the board, there are a few jazzies that are amist being done as well.

I can't remember if i posted it or not but this is matts chambered jazzmaster, its done now, but not in this pic.

nirvana23freak

Is this a custom job JS(more Jag-esque)? Its awesome i would be all over this if i had the money/ time for a project.

robertoriginal

i made that for myself, kinda more for fun, then i routed it for binding, so far it has been sitin on the shelf waiting for me to bind it up, if you want it(don;t tell me you don;t have the money) i could sell it to you for like 30 bucks.

nirvana23freak

really? 30 bucks? Ill definitely buy it. with what kind of bindings on it?

robertoriginal

either black, cream, or white, or for extra i could do some lamininent styled stuff

nirvana23freak

also what type of wood is it?

jayson

damn thats a beauty only thirty bucks binding included?!?!

robertoriginal

its a single peice of basswood, same stuff that they make the jags and mustangs from japan out of, as well as the solid color jaguars.

here are a load of jazzmasters, a few are for people on this forum.

non of them are done tho.

jayson

shall i pm u?
