the body looks a little anaemic, no? should be a bit broader.

Which one? I’d say the first is probably about a standard lp body size, although neck would be a tad longer

 

[magicbastarder]

the body seems longer and thinner on the speedway? maybe the arse is longer to accomodate the vibrato bridge?

From my own collection.. looking at the specs the measurement at its (speedways) widest is more or less the same as my lp. It’s a longer scale length, so a longer neck might be making the body look smaller.
Teles/strats always look bigger imho, as the body doesn’t taper as much

Getting along.
The neck is glued, no going back now.
Tomorrow I’ll take a router to that nice piece of spruce to complement the damage I did with a jigsaw today

@pete - could you move this to the DIY guitar thread?

 

[JohnnyRaz]

was thinking over the weekend, based on jamming again more regularly, my dream (electric) guitar probably would be:

Fender scale (i.e 25.5'')
tunomatic bridge
bigsby
vaguely LP shape - but not as thick/big bodied
slanted neck
angled headstock 3x3 tuners
p90s (or possibly some variant thereof)
possibly thinline/semi hollow

Not sure if this exists (possibly some of the solid body gretsch guitars?)

Might just try making one for the next project

No sooner did I post this than I saw a chap on adverts was doing a big clear out and had these babies for sale.

The staples p90 is a pretty good quality piece. The regular one is a bit more meh, but at least has Alnico mags

BUT polarity, resistance and I think wind direction looks like these would work as a set without modification ..

First step towards the dream guitar

Body looks a little like the 70s/80s hondos. Always liked that look! Head stock is very unusual!

I've been on the hunt for one of these for a while. Let one go that was on sale in Antrim years back, the seller wouldn't post it. £995 is too much, though.

Given the price of some big brand guitars that's not bad for something genuinely custom made to your specs.
Looks cool, Enjoy!

Holy crap, that's the nicest Tides guitar I've seen yet. It's a classic. Great price too, considering how much the other Aluminium neck companies cost for custom builds. There's a 2nd hand Nude guitar on Reverb for €1900 HERE
