Is this the first guitar to be built with this neck pocket jig @boo. 🤔 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Good job @boo, putting that No-More-Sloppy-Neck-Pocket-O-Matic to the test! 😉

Time for some bodywork. I used this jig to take a measurement from the neck, I can now transfer it to the body. Attachment : 8C641821-841A-4589-A5EA-62157492603B.jpeg Attachment : C7F0DFB2...

@tej As @russ said you can never have too many clamps. 🤣

@boo looking good, at least what I can see past the sea of clamps does 😉

I think I'll just keep buying any clamps that are on a deal @boo. You can't have too many as they say. 🤣😂 🙏🙂🎶🎸

I've noticed that Axminster quite often have a deal on clamps @boo. I'll keep my eyes peeled for some more. @russ I wish I’d bought more now but now I know these are good, I’ll get more next time the...

Good use of your new half price clamps @russ Yep, I can’t fault them, I use them for everything now. Most of my old plastic clamps have broken, Aldi and Lidl. Cheap crappy clamps are definitely not a...

That fretboard is a nice piece of wood. I leave that unpainted. @tv101 Yeah, it’s a very nice piece of Ebony from Mark, I love the grain. Yep, it’s the only bit of the guitar that won’t have paint on...

OK, fretboard on. No going back now. Attachment : 747DCE31-058D-4D5A-B2FE-E0002860B6BF.jpeg Attachment : 7F53D164-A7ED-4DD7-BAEE-5FE6B8C5A9B6.jpeg Attachment : E7198639-6DAB-485C-9F...

When I saw the "extension" piece of the headstock, I thought that'd need some veneering. But, of course, it's Boo. "Paint it Black". @tv101 I think I would have a go at veneering it if it wasn’t bein...

does the piece of metal work better than a blade for scraping the surface after? @tej Yeah, it’s a cabinet scraper. A blade is just like a mini version, an alternative. You can get cabinet scrapers i...

I know you’re going to paint it @boo but I was thinking that the mismatch of the grain on the headstock would seep through... but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? When I saw the "ext...

Good choice on the tuners @boo, I love locking tuners and the low profile posts are a big reason why. 👍
