Motorik II

Just thought I'd post a quick update on this one. Body is primed ready for spraying tomorrow, weather permitting. I finished the neck today, just about. The only other major thing is I need to get the guard anodized black, but I have to wait until I have another couple of guards made before I can get that done.

Anyway, some progress pics:

If you ever start producing these I'd be all over 'em. They're gorgeous.

Great pictures and great work! I'm going to go back and read the thread over on offset.

I'm glad you went with the large pickguard, I think the black will balance really well with the rest of the guitar.

I dig the headstock too!

I've been following this on Offset, and love the purpose built tools you have used - really clever.
The guitar itself looks amazing, and the neck just wonderful.
Do you take custom orders?

Thanks for all the encouragement! I'll keep you posted how the painting goes.

After two false starts with the lacquer far too green it goes like this:

That green on the headstock just looks wonderful.

This is the body just before the last clear coat:

A month of frustration now while it cures enough to polish it - luckily I'm going away for a week so it won't feel so bad.

Spider took one for the team:

Yeah it's nifty!

Is this one gonna have any built-in effects like the last one?

Ben dun my Tele and it's still awesome:

I love these. You should keep making Motoriks just so that you can keep posting up these pics. They're great.

No effects this time - decent pickups instead...

Tele looks great, Tim. Cheers guys.

What pickups are you going for?
