Busy busy busy.. A couple of days ago, I installed side dots , cut the fretslots to proper depth and glued the fretboard to the neck. Attachment : IMG_20210730_164602113.jpg Routed the body yes...

sorry missed that @frocesterbill No worries, I did not mention this before 😀

if you cut out the wing shapes on your bandsaw keep the bits you cut off to use to clamp on the @frocesterbill I only cut out the innershape of the horns, so I had rectangular shapes to clamp. Only a...

Fretboard markers done, radiussed to 16" radius.Only thing to do is check and saw the slot to depth, install the side dots and glue the fretboard on. Attachment : IMG_20210728_162722581.jpg Glu...

@boo I agree with @tv101

it will be rubbing on the side on the nut slot which isn’t good for tuning. @rocknroller912 Well on a Les Paul, none of the strings are ligning up with the nut. You just have to cut the nut with a l...

You could plug the hole and drill again where you wnt it. If you don't move it too far, the washer will cover the repair @Robin Yes indeed. I 'll decide that just before final sanding and finishi...

Today, I testfitted the tuners and discovered a small design flaw in my headstock. I should have left a bit more space on a few pegholes, they are rather close to the edge, and, the one for the G stri...

Well, some pictures are in the wrong cronological order 🙂 Yesterday, I flattened the headstock and neck. But apparently, during my rough cut on the bandsaw, I went in to deep on the headstock at one...

Last week I progressed quite a bit for this build Got my laminated neck blank from G&W . Attachment : IMG_20210721_181443172.jpg Made a headstock template Attachment : IMG_20210721_1816...
