@rocknroller912 The neck blank is just a little bit off of full quarter sawn. I needed to take material off of both sides of the headstock but I have only removed material off of the fretboard side of...

@bpower I think it depends on the piece of wood, how strong it feels and if it’s quarter or flat sawn. Quarter will be more resistant to flexing than flat. You could make sure that the veneer is a ti...

@bpower That brought my thickness of my headstock from 15.5mm down to 13.5mm. In your opinion, do you think this is too thin to have enough strength? My thought is that I think it would be strong en...

ok. Straightened the neck out as best I could. With that, and where I decided to remove material, I needed to fix my headstock so that is in the same plane as the rest of the neck. Removed the materia...

@russ that's what I'm thinking now too. I think it affected more than I think and I'm just finding it out now. At least I didn't find this out after I put the fretboard and stuff on. It sucks but it c...

Where did you have it stored @bpower? I've got mine under the bed. 🤣 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Well... the saga of this guitar build keeps going. I managed to get the body of the guitar to where I'm happy enough with it... that's the good news. Start working on the neck again and I notice that ...

Posted by: @robin Its a myth that you'll have time on your hands when you retire. My #003 guitar build has come to a halt, I'm seldom a home. I'm far to busy sitting in the sun looking at this view. ...

Beautiful views @boo Congrats on getting the move done. Hope it’s all you’ve hoped and planned for. And that you get the workshops / paint shops sorted out soon.

@tv101 Sorry to disappoint you, I am still around, not in prison. 😂 However, I have got my hands full with my new home in Scotland, no time for guitar building I’m afraid. I still don’t hav...

@tv101 I haven’t posted progress on any builds as I’ve been busy with non guitar stuff although I have been spraying a Tele neck earlier this week and doing an oil finish on the body, which isn’t goo...
