Got a little more work done. Got my custom headstock inlay done and my mother of pearl side dots are in. I've gotta wait for some fretting tools and t...

@tv101 for sure. Going from that rectangular block to a neck carve that I really love felt so satisfying! I like asymmetrical necks so I was kind of c...

@mattbeels yes! Amazing how hard it is to get it just right. I can see why PRS started out using birds. They were unique but also they didn't have to ...

Finally got my fretboard inlays done. After lots of research and a base and upcut bit for my dremel I got my mother of pearl block inlays from StewMac...

Got off work early today so I decided to get going on the neck carve. I was shooting for my favorite asymmetrical neck carve which is on my PRS McCart...

So I got some more stuff done. I rough cut the neck out, drilled the tuning holes out (will be buying a drill press for the nicer neck), spindle sande...

@mattbeels it's a stewmac truss rod:/p> It's definitely bigger than others I've seen but I like my necks a little bit chunky so no problem there.

I signed up as a premium member a few weeks ago, but I didn't see a section in the build your own guitar course on headstock veneer. Maybe I didn't lo...

Was super busy last week so I didn't get to catch the livestreams or reupload, but I finally have more time, so today I got back to work. My truss rod...

So I made the jig today for cutting my truss rod slot. It turned out well. I drilled some small holes in the side of the neck to screw the bolts into ...

I forgot to mention, my neck blanks are each a little under 3" and I havent cut anything out on the back side so there is plenty of waste to put those...

So in looking at just the first section of the build your own guitar course I've done things in completely the wrong order. Whoops. Started before fin...

@markbailey Thanks. Watched the livestream when I woke up today and could tell I'm in that group for sure. I'll be signing up soon. Thanks for all t...

Forgot to put the picture of the inlays and fretboards, here it is.

I'm so glad I have two necks! I messed up the top of the headstock on the less nice neck. The router grabbed it and tore out a chunk. Bummer, but ...

So I got scared working on the $450 flame maple body so this weekend I went to my local hardwood store and bought a piece of mahogany big enough to ma...

@tv101 it's just under 2" but im going to be putting a deep carve into it and planing the top down for the neck angle and a decent sized belly cut so ...

@rockpile99 it's not going to be a super thick body thankfully, so hopefully that will help with the weight. If it comes out at 12lbs I'll just have t...

@robin me and my dad did a custom guitar about 8 years ago. We bought a stewmac neck and modeled the guitar after an Ibanez that I had, and still have...

I ordered some templates from Guitar Building Templates out of Florida, left my wood in the attic for a couple of months to dry, and did a rough cut o...
