Cheers @Russ - all carved by hand CNC - though I did draw them out by hand-controlled mouse!

Nice curves @tv101 🎸🙏🎶🙂

Right, that's Christmas done, I can get back into the workshop! Took 3mm off the bottom of the neck pocket, and the underside of the pickup routs (so I have a bit more upwards adjustment). Sanded. Gra...

Spent an hour or three sanding today. Before I apply any finish, a quick part-put-together to check things ft where they should. Attachment : 20221221_172923sml.jpg Attachment : 20221221_17...

Cheers @nsj 🙂

@tv101 good job!

Job #1 - fit the cavity covers. Mainly so that I could trim the edges of the back-cap, and do the roundover on them. Wanted to have a consistent roundover all the way round, including the edge of th...

I glued the back-cap on last night, and used a few clamps to prevent a recurrence of the gappy join ... Attachment : 20221219_170929sml.jpg That seemed to work. Had to take the car into the d...

I like the curves on that design @nsj - I can't do anything quite like that on this build, but I had something similar in mind. Also really like the fact that you use proper cavity covers on your buil...

@tv101 Here's what I do to the neck heels area on my builds, I use 38mm screws from axesrus then I can do a 20mm neck heel and take the body down to 20mm at the join. Makes it really comfy and allows ...

Spot on @NSJ. I used a standard Tele plan as the core for the CNC design, and the standard plan assumed a standard 4 screws into a neck plate. The screw ferrule is 15mm diameter, which took it right ...

@tv101 screw ferrule for the neck is to close to the edge?

@tv101 surely the perfect gap for binding which would be pretty cool!

Not that @Robin - I’ll just redrill the bolt holes from the top through the new cap and use the holes as the centre points for the 15mm recess holes. Similarly, I should be able to find the thru-body ...

@tv101 Points for anyone who spots it now ... Could it be that your new cap is going cover the neck screw holes?

This nifty little (large) surfacing bit has got me out of trouble numerous times. Attachment : 20221219_113658sml.jpg Ready for action Attachment : 20221219_113703sml.jpg Four passes...

Thought I'd add a bit more detail for some of the builds I've done so far. This is the black limba neck through, first neck through, first floyd. Started with this Attachment : 20220905_164353-01....

Beautiful guitar!

@tv101 that's how I did that one but I think I'll angle the next one a little. I do need to think about pickup cavity depth though and how high they'll sit because obviously have a big trem cavity on ...

Nice work. I've yet to try a thru-neck build in my own workshop. My last Bailey course build was thru-neck, but that was a long time ago, so I'm not sure I remember a whole lot. I'm guessing the top ...
