From what I've read so far these forums don't seem full of the normal infuriatingly arrogant opinionated sorts I've encountered elsewhere which is very refreshing, so all in all my hopes are high that...

Let's be real for a moment here ... ... you're going to make a lot more than one guitar, so I'd plan for this being a journey. 😀 Each guitar you make, you'll learn some new skills and each...

You’ll have fun here for sure, especially if you have a good sense of humor (see how I spelled that "properly" @boo?) cause there are some real jokers around here... @mattbeels No, I’m not biting.......

Hey @markbailey I hope everything is OK for you and your family. Looking forward for next week!

The heal transition and the volute areas need a little more work to get them a tiny bit neater Yes I agree @boo

I am pretty happy with the result so far, but what do you guys ( and girls) think? @koendb Yeah, I think it’s looking great. The heal transition and the volute areas need a little more work to get th...

Of course, after a while I completely forgot and just followed my intuition and what felt right. @koendb Boom! Nice work my friend. I love neck carving. 👍🎸

Some more pictures. I still have to fix some spots and try to eliminate high spots using scrapers. but that will be for another day. Attachment : IMG_20210407_233736885.jpg Attachment : I...

Looks Great @koendb. Very Smooth. 🙏🎸🙂🎶

Finally found courage to start carving and I just couldn't stop.I used a shinto rasp for the majority of the work, a halfround rasp/file for the transitions and lots of sanding blocks. Attachment :...

You’ll probably make another one anyway. And anotherother one. And anotherotherother one. Exactly! 😀

If that bothers you @koendb, glue a piece of offcut into that corner, and then carve/sand the offcut to create a more gradual transition (or create the transition before you glue it in place). I'll p...

@koendb It’s certainly steep alright and it’s definitely different but if it works, why not? I like things that are different and not normal, it makes things interesting. Keep going man, it’s great. &...

Yeah that is steep @koendb but it probably won’t be a problem. But if it is then that’s one of the benefits of a bolt on neck, you could easily replace it! Otherwise all looks great!

So I took away too much material from the headstock to make a nice transition between headstock and neck.That will be a very steep curve. The trussrod is super easy to get access to on the other hand,...

Coming along very nicely @koendb. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Attachment : IMG_20210405_160026386.jpg In the meantime, I have drilled the tuner holes ( vintage style so smaller holes ), routed the headstock to the correct thickness and now glued the fretboa...

Use that carefully and the bottom of the nut slot should be flat ordered the 1/8" one straight away! thanks @tv101
