Then I attempted to start putting the frets in. I couldn't even get the first one to go in all the way. The slots were filed before the attempt but that didn't seem to help enough. @wayne_f Did you ...

Oh wow that's a lot of work you've got done @wayne_f it's all looking great. I agree with you on the neck being the most hard work, like Mark says, it'll keep you warm. I found the neck the most sati...

@wayne_f I would agree with @tej there, it looks like the ends are in, so the slot must be deep enough. I'm assuming that you're hammering them in and not pressing them. If you're hammering while su...

@wayne_f it’s hard to tell from the picture but it looks like the ends are in just the middle that’s proud?

Today, I got the fingerboard smoothed and radiused. Then I attempted to start putting the frets in. I couldn't even get the first one to go in all the way. The slots were filed before the attempt but ...

Looking good @Wayne-F you'll get two neck blanks out of that if you cut carefully.

The headstock was one of the things I was looking at that I didn’t think looked right. Thanks to everyone for confirming my suspicions. The horns on the body were something that also “just didn’t look...

As others have suggested - always check the string path from the nut to tuner. Mark out where you plan on putting the tuners, and then draw lines to show the position of the strings from the nut to th...

@rathius Welcome to the community! I agree with @boo and @robin regarding the headstock. I think it could already help if you stretch the headstock a little.

Welcome @rathius. What an adventurous design. As Elvis once said it's "The Devil In Disguise" 🤘 🙏🎸🙂🎶

Hi @rathius That's looking good, I like what you're doing there matching the headstock to the body. Just as an example of what @boo is saying, the headstock on my second build is a lot less radical th...

@rathius Hey man, welcome. Cool design, although one thing that jumps out at me is the headstock. Just make sure you have enough room for all of the tuners/machine heads and they are accessible enoug...

Well. Decided to try out the Bagpress fret slotting jig tonight. Couldn't have been happier with it. Shout out to @darrenking. This jig was super easy to set up and rock solid to use. The fret board l...

@russ Lucky you make sure you look after your hands and don’t get any injuries

Posted by: @rathius I’ve been told a string-thru guitar has better sustain than one with a stop bar or wraparound bridge. Is this true and does it really make that much difference? I have a Tele cop...

Welcome @tyreman!

@tyreman Welcome, looking forward to the 12 string design!
