[ViperDoc]

and here's the follow up to our new "name that tool" game.

this is what last weeks tool is used for - sanding those tricky sides and cut-outs!

here's this week's challenge, name that tool! (and what it could potentially be used for on our guitars)

Micro air jet. Spray away that dust, baby.

 

[ViperDoc]

Getting closer !

7 string burler....SO SICK!!!

 

[xjbebop]

The tool is a pneumatic die grinder. I'm guessing it's used for polishing frets (although they have many varied uses from cutting to grinding to polishing).

I took a better look and the chuck on it changes my guess to a drill rather than a grinder.

correct answer....

OK...whoever had the outline of Brazil inlayed into a wood trem cavity cover has officially taken this to the next level of crazy...

The 7 string black limba with the burl stinger is also insane...

Unbelievable week Hunter...thanks!

Oh yeah, Brazil! I wonder if the backplate is Brazzy rosewood?

And I didn't notice right away that 7-stringer being an actual 7-stringer - I was to distracted by the wood! But man, that looks nice!

And again, Thanks Hunter!!!

 

[crushpoint]

Good god, y'all!!

Thanks Hunter!

Much appreciated! ! I'm not sure what the time line of our builds is, but I would sure love to see some pictures of our upcoming guitars together when completed. Would be very special, I think.

Numerically my PS# is only four after yours...but I spent some time being indecisive about my final build specs, so we probably won't see the "little sister" for a while. Would be really cool to see them together at some point though. I've been coming back to drool over yours several times today. Prepare yourself, because your guitar is going to be incredible.

So much hotness today. That 7 looks insane!

 

[Mikegarveyblues]

Good call!
If this is going to be the color of the USA Bernie, I'll be very interested...

Interesting if this is a U.S. Bernie. That colour is hot. The layout is certainly the same as the SE version.

 

[ViperDoc]

Agreed. TOTALLY HOT.

Funny-that outline on the trem cover looks a little bit like our "Nordschleife" racetrack.

Funny! I was thinking something similar. It appears that the 'long, thin' portion is not long or thin enough to be the Nurburgring, though!!

Yup! Same here. I googled the map of the track just to make sure.

 

[Mikegarveyblues]

Can't quite tell but the control cavity on this looks similar to the Bernie...

Of course, it may not be a Bernie at all...

My excitement for the Burl Beast can hardly be contained. This has been a long time coming.

 

[CatStrangler]

A friday without PSF is like a day without sunshine...

 

[Hunter@PRS]

Here we go! Sorry for the late start, had a couple projects going on today!

 

[Hunter@PRS]

 

[Hunter@PRS]

rough cut building!



FYI, last week's tool was actually a sanding tool again! One end is for connecting our compressed air hose, the other is the small bit used for sanding the cavities carved for the volume/tone knobs.



Here's this week's tool! What is it, what is it used for?

 

[jcha008]

Hunter, I think it's safe to say that you're the ultimate GAS man!! Excellent edition yet again.

The tool looks like a thickness sander/planer of some sort.
