Its been a while now since I documented a build...
I've been commissioned on a lefty mosrite again from a nice guy from France. So here we goooo:

Le Carve

Managed to make some spun knobs..

Milling "Le Tremoloo" I have to make it myself now because it seems impossible to get in contact with Matt..

Filing/fitting/polishing..

This is where I am now.

Thanks for posting these. Do you build 8-string (Octave string) basses too? I'm thinking of building one.

A+!

Oigun,
As always, gorgeous work. Are you milling the aluminum with templates, CNC or freehand?

Partially cnc partially freehand and files/sandpaper/polishing wheel/drills whatever :mrgreen:

I have build a cnc machine but I've decided not to use it on my woodwork. for engraving and making templates it comes in handy.

A couple of weeks ago I finished this one:

Redesigned "W" headstock hence my last name Wulff...

And here the fresh owner:

He wants a hardtail R&R machine. The pickups scared him a little :mrgreen:

So I'm gonna wind him some humbuckers in the 'rite' cover.

Another superb Mosrite replica, with a simple, lightened design - unfortunately not lefty

Is it the same pickguard material as the one you will make for mine ?

A+!
