@nsj does that go over the headstock as a laminate or is the actual headstock? did you make a scarf joint for it?

This is our design, within the overarching plan of Mark's course Attachment : Design guitar V2 6.jpg

@brie are the links you are referring to on this site? I'll have to go back and see if I can find them in udemy. I wasn't successful in my first try. Thanks so much for those specs

I've gone back now and if my math is correct it's about 9 deg. Is it OK to be a range? Say 9-11? Perhaps my math is also off

I'm going to try and use a couple of pieces from this scrap for my neck angle jig. 🤠 Attachment : PXL_20230613_184456351.jpg

Getting started on the neck. Our maker space has lovely tools and they make wood dimensioning a joy. I'm using some quartersawn sapele, and a couple of passes on the jointer and planer make it feel al...

Hope that message didn't sound harsh. No disrespect intended. 👍

while I love this course, some specs for the jigs would be a nice to have. I'm happy to write something up and contribute if it doesn't exist somewhere as a resource yet. Can someone please confirm t...

Got it. Thanks for that

Happy Monday to all I'm watching the videos for a second time. This time so I can put together a cut sheet for jigs, templates, etc. (actually does anyone have a cut sheet for all of that?) For the ...

If making guitars is half as addictive as watching @mark, my wallet is in big trouble - unless I succeed in selling a few!

Thabks swerpi - the back story is that before the course I was trying to design my own prototype (with zero knowledge 😂) and have pickups and switches etc. Was hoping to reuse them here. Howev...

Hi folks, Still going through all the videos once. Noticed the 3-way Gibson style switch. Is a 5 way switch just as easy? Will it even fit in the body? Otherwise, I think I'll be ordering a 3 way and...

Thanks Brian. I'm definitely watching all the videos first, including the "design your first guitar" course. And yeah, definitely so many questions

Going to just start a thread here to post pictures and comments around my first build. Here we go! Attachment : PXL_20230525_032523740.jpg

Awesome book and really nice person. I ask him hordes of question and he's always attentive. His sketchy setup serious is also lovely. Dead simple

Awesome. Thanks for that!

@clinton thanks so much for all of that. Since this is my very first build I'm going to go ahead and purchase a TOM bridge só I don't need to make modifications for the course. However, I really want ...

@swepri for my very first build I want to follow the course. So I opted to purchase a TOM bridge and 3x3 tuners. However I'll still use my P90 pickups

Ah cool! I'm still watching the videos so I'm hoping to better understand the process of making the neck. thanks!
