Great story and awesome problem solving. It is endless learning and The journey achieving a succesful end result in guitar building s the mist satisfying feeling. I think that is why I enjoy it so muc...

Thank you everyone, I appreciate all your help.

@Seth - It's fine - many guitars are made exactly like this. You can leave it on but I think its better to trim off the excess so it blends in smoothly to the neck as you suggested. Looking good!

That’s helpful. Thanks Jonathan. Potentially appealing given I’m looking for an ‘easy’ way to get a traditional style finish.

@markbailey Yes will do that.

Schaller tuners. Back in the day they were "THE" absolute best you could buy. However, recently I've been reading in various places that their quality has dropped considerably - uneven, sticky gearing...

Hi Cigarboxguy, Middle men always profit from being in the middle and by doing something that adds value to whatever it is that they buy and sell. In this case converting bloody great big lumps of tre...

but it's still essentially them profiting as a middle man between myself and the timber merchant. Or, looked at another way, it’s the price of him taking raw planks from the timber merchant, thickne...

Hey everyone I'm new here, hope everyone is good! I have looked around for timber to build cigar box guitar necks, and found a few places like chicken bone john and ashton music, but I have built guit...
