Sea foam green or shell pink or at a push Daphne blue ! I’ve never used alder as a body but from the way you’re describing it I can understand why may companies use it!
This is a great channel with very well-made videos! Unfortunately, it's hard to watch them consecutively since they are not organized in a playlist in order.
Have you seen the artist H.E.R.'s signature Strat in what I'm hearing she calls 'Chrome Red' which is a red over an iridescent layer. And the model comes with a brushed aluminum pick-guard, black pickups/knobs/switch tip/trembar tip.
I like the idea of routing before cutting the shape, but have never tried it yet. My main goal would be to provide more stability for the neck pocket template. Sometimes the upper right corner can droop just a bit when the body shape doesn't provide much of a base under that portion.
I will be starting my first build soon (strat too) and I have a question. When you are hogging out wood for the cavities, are you drilling down to the depth the cavity needs to be or are you going shallower and taking shallow router passes to clear out the cavity to the needed depth. For instance: for a 20mm cavity, do you drill down to 20mm then rout the sides or down to 18mm and the rout the sides and the remainder 2mm of the bottom? Thanks for the great videos.
I will drill down a few mm short of the base of the route and clean it out with the router so I don't get the marks from the brad of the drill left in the finished route.
Such talent and skill. You did it well 👏👏
Thank you.
I dunno about shaping the body, looks good to me as is, very Bo Diddly 🙂 As for colour, has to be shell pink (or hot pink).
I like the idea of a Bo Diddly but it's still a bit heavy :)
Olympic white would look good Pat
That would be a good shout, I do like Olympic white.
Спасибо за видео, жду продолжения)
I love the way you share your thought processes for getting the build sequence optimized.😊
Glad you are enjoying/finding it useful.
Nice work. Those routes came out so clean. Another amazing guitar on the way. 😊
Cheers buddy, I'm very happy with the Alder.

Not sure about shell pink but a couple of good shouts there. The Alder is very nice to work with.

Sorted now.
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams Thank You, very appreciated!
I'm gonna go with black, proper dark as the night black
First vote for black...
Looking great. Colour wise I reckon you are going Hank Marvin... Red. 😁
Thank you, that would be a good choice.
Daphne Blue with mint pickguard
That would look nice...

Hank Marvin style red, with a white pickguard and pick-up’s. Ebony fingerboard?
Ooh, first shout for ebony...

This is my first time of routing first, I'm quite liking it so far. I'm leaving the neck pocket I think until I've cut the shape in.
Not just pink, PINK!
Lol, hot pink!!!
👍
Cheers
I'd say go for my favourite Fender custom colour: Burgundy Mist!
I,'ve only ever seen that in adverts, never on a guitar.
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams I painted my Jazzmaster in Burgundy Mist with matching headstock and it's absolutely fab
Prismatic Red/Gold
Oooh, going to have to google that one :)
Great job!
Cheers :)
