Thought I'd add a bit more detail for some of the builds I've done so far. This is the black limba neck through, first neck through, first floyd.

Started with this

First thing I did was sort out a fretboard, did my first binding too. All ebony, the binding is offcuts I planed down

Next I lay everything out and planned my layout

 Then I routed the trussrod channel and sorted the face of the headstock, used a handplane to surface the headstock

Stuck the fretboard on and roughly cut out the neck and headstock blank

I routed a little channel in the side of the neck piece for the pickup wiring then glued a piece in to cover it over so I ended up with a channel between the pickups

 Next I cut away some of the hard to reach wood from the body wings and glued them on, first mistake at this point. I should've done all the fretting and levelling first!

Managed to find a spindle sander 2nd hand although knowing what I know now I would've just bought new. When people say light use, they're lying lol

Anyway, cut the rest of the body shape out and used the sander to finish off all the edges, then got on the with the heel carve using a mixture of iwasaki and regular files aswell as a lot of sanding.

I then moved on to routing, 2nd mistake. I misread the instructions or should I say disconnected my brain and routed the floyd in the wrong place!

Should be 25 inches to the screw holes! Oops. Used the template to mark out a piece to make a massive plug for the error and glued it in.

I then did all the routing, don't have a lot of pics because I was to busy filming for youtube, normally I take pics of everything. The channel between the pickups worked great though. In the rear cavity I glued a piece of wood in so the nut for the barrel jack sits flat. Really helps  doing that.

After all the routing it was onto carving the comfort carves, I often do them using a shinto saw rasp, iwasaki, files etc and sometimes a bit of power tool depending on how it's going lol

Cut out and shaped the headstock and added a chamfer to the edges.

Drilled plugs of the dark ebony to use a fret markers

And used cocktail sticks as side dots

I don't have any pics of the finishing or fretting but it's all on my channel on youtube. I used thinned down polyurethane sanded in to help fill the grain. Then some shellac sanding sealer to help as a binder for the spray. I used regular 1k matt clear, car stuff. Also made a little trussrod cover

Gotoh floyd, locking tuners and nobs, other bits I just had to search around to try and find, warman equus humbucker set

Learnt a lot from this, do all the fretwork before gluing on the wings, double check the instructions before routing any floyd cavity, best using a heel access or spoke wheel truss rod so it's not so busy at the nut end and bolt ons are easier lol

Anyway I've ended up with a fantastic guitar despite my stupidity and am actually doing another neck through with floyd now, must be mad lol.

Seriously though, I think this time will be a lot easier after watching a pile of Mark's live vids on youtube, loads of really helpful stuff. Buying some new tools in the new year to help too.

Cheers
