Neck is now roughed out and done an initial radius of the fretboard, added a plate to the headstaock too, hopefully get that all shaped and to thickness in the next day or so. Attachment : 20230...

Right, sorted the space for the spoke wheel and routed the end of the fretboard to to accomadate. Attachment : 20230420_175207.jpg And now the fretboard is glued and clamped and I got the t...

Got a couple of bits done today, body sort of shaped, fretboard slotted, neck blank sorted and trussrod fitted. It's a spoke wheel trussrod though so I need to sort out the heel end for access. A...

Anyway, today I stopped by a friends joinery shop, he handed me some yew wood which looked interesting Attachment : 20230418_150428.jpg I took the piece on the left and trimmed it down, the...

@russ restless idiot for punishment you say? 🤣 🤣

@nsj 😱 You're the gun slinger of the guitar making world Neil...... Quick Draw Magraw. 😁 🎶🎸🙂🙏

I never thought I’d say this, but - Happy Days 🙂

@jamesbisset He said on the live he did on carving the neck. Initial facets are about a 3rd in at the heel then run the line down the neck with your finger aginst the side. Then about the fretboard th...

@nsj Because my sides aren’t profiled yet (and squint after the fingerboard mishap) I measured the facets 14.66mm out from the new centerline and then nudged them a couple of mm to the thumb side. But...

@jamesbisset That initial carve, instead of a 1/3 in on both sides, go in a 1/4 on one side and a 1/3 on the other. Or do a 1/3 in on each side at the nut then alter it further up. Is it musicman who ...

@jamesbisset Thanks for the recommendations and encouragement folks. I’ve decided to go on with the neck as it is. This is my first ever full build and it’s effectively a prototype. I’d rather keep ...

Hi James, take it off and start again. You’ll spend more time trying to compensate all the other parts than if you just strip the fretboard off and glue another one on in the right place. Going with a...

There I was, tidying up my shed, wondering what I was going to do today. Next thing I know I have a body blank glued up! Oh well. guess I'll just have to build a guitar I suppose 🤣 Going fo...

@nsj More nice work Neil. Keep the videos coming too. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@nsj Another great guitar! It's always a great feeling trying a new build out.

Well that's that one sorted, plays nice, sounds great. Attachment : 20230415_130637.jpg Final build vid is up on youtube if anyone wants to hear how it sounds and get a better look.

@robin I put mine in for crunchy stuff and take them out for chocolate, ice cream etc 🤣

@boo You could hollow it out a bit then add some sort of top. Between gym sessions of course lol

@nsj To be honest, I've not got many of my own left, I've got a mouth full of caps, crowns and bridges. I went through the covid shut down with a front tooth snapped off at the gum, then they pulled ...
