If you remember back to February i started a Jazzomaster build (which im nearing completion) at the mo im working on the neck for this...
Once i got that done i can finish the body..sanding prepping and finally paint...
BUT!! I got to thinking...i ve always fancied a DuosonicII/bronco hybrid with a fixed bridge and thru stringing like Mike's.....
Seeing as the Jazzmaster im building is in Oak, it would be rude not to create the Brosonic in another crazy wood....
That's when i came across this in a skip......a beech block work surface offcut..
Amazing what people chuck away!..ok lets sort the template out....im not gonna rabbit on, ill just show the build pics....
That's the shape cut out..rounded over, and with belly cut....
Now onto hogging out before routing cavities...
Bronco template made, time to route out!
Finshed body/guard............................................Onto the neck!..This is in ash and 24" conversion neck scale....Ebony fingerboard.......Out with the Radius jig
Time for fret scale..taken straight off my Jagmaster........................Drilling marker dot holes............................
Cutting frets with a Stanley Backsaw......and a poundshop mitre block........dropping marker dots in with a bit of superglue
This is what im aiming for..
All ive gotta do left is route neck pocket, drill holes for string-thru ferrals, sand seal/paint body, glue fretboard on, fit/cut fretwire and carve neck out/thin head/put logo on/lacquer....thinking Olympic White or Orange
...nearly there!...prob another 1-2 months work in it....Watch this space
