@nsj yeah, good suggestion! I’ve not done it on this neck, but I have another 1″ blank and a small selection of veneers. Could look pretty cool. Apologies in advance for the incoming interrogation! With the Osmo oil, does it…   Read more»

@nsj oh I need to show you fret 24. I did it with a dremel on a plunge base with edge guide against the end of the fretboard. Made a little mess but what the hell. It’s the first…   Read more»

@nsj as for a full on fretboard, uhm you mean the dots or artwork, like a dragon, roses, etc? something I had considered was starting with 2 pieces of abalone shell as fretboard marker inlay. I have some that are…   Read more»

@nsj  That gives it more of a wood burning look doesn’t it. Not very deep at all just darken the logo. Cool, cool, cool. That would be an easy way of differentiating between say model A-1 and model A-2, meaning…   Read more»

@nsj Yeah sure, I know about that. I’ll try some. 👍

@nsj See, I know that little about electronics and soldering, I didn’t know there was leaded and unleaded solder. Is the leaded stuff not dangerous to health? Is that not why they created unleaded?  Thanks for the advice by the…   Read more»

@nsj Very nice. I love your little helper too! 😺

@nsj
Under starters orders again Neil. Looking forward to this one. Is there a wee YouTube video? 
🙏🙂🎸🎶

@nsj

@nsj awesome thanks

@nsj duuuuuuude!!!!
I have been trying to think of a better way than my scroll saw to do that. 
What speed do you run it on when cutting the covers? Plastic I assume or are you making wooden covers?

@nsj I’m trying to determine the need before the neck is glued in AND before carving the top while the blank is still flat. Also before glueing a veneer on the top. I know if I do that I’ll have…   Read more»

@nsj so you’ve got a makeshift router table for small parts eh? Nice idea, I like it. 😁

The answer – of course – is just to ignore the tone pots.  Never use them … 😉
 

@nsj

@nsj Ha, superb. Nice collection.

@nsj
Very nice work again Neil.
