I often stick scraps together to make bigger pieces for cavity covers and headstock plates like this one. Attachment : 20230519_010153.jpg

Due to taking the lady shopping today I didn't get a lot done. My binding showed up though and looks a pretty good match to my pickups. Also my new binding router kit from radian tools arrived for doi...

Did some of the cutting out of the inner horns and planed the fretboard sides to make room for binding, so far so good. Attachment : 20230612_170603.jpg Attachment : 20230612_170725.jpg

@swepri I find getting the drills to go exactly where you want them can be a bit of a fight lol. Small bits with the hand drill aren't so bad, you just tilt the drill to move things about when doing t...

Little bit more work today, did the slot for the pickup wiring so when I rout out the pickup cavities the channel will appear. I cut a lot of excess off the neck to make it easier to deal with. And I ...

Well today I finally made a start, worked everything out then got the truss rod slot sorted, fretboard pinned and headstock angle. Need to wait on binding, then shave the fretboard down and attach the...

@russ all stable, only ever had one where the neck warped and that was a very expensive piece of birds eye maple! Yet if I've used old floorboards etc they're stil as good as the day I made them lol

Going to do a solid neck through black limba build for ggbo community. Going with a gibby scale, floyd rose, cream binding with zebra pickups. Carvetop again but possibly a bit deeper like a prs this ...

@rathius I sat a 12 radius block on a 16 radius board, the gap was les than 0.2mm! Took me by surprise, there's so little in it. I do 12, 14 and 16 though, basically whatever the bridge is. I like to ...

100% do all the fretwork first! It's a pain where the sun don't shine trying to do the upper frets after lol. And a 100% don't forget the pickup wiring slot, I did on my 2nd one! Luckily it had a fl...

@bpower thanks mate

And finished, the blue resin is perfect too, nice and subtle. Gotoh hardware, warman pickups, coil split with a 2.2k resistor to keep the split fatter sounding. Attachment : 20230528_193508-01.j...

@kalimar push pull is very simple and definitely the easy way to go. With the split wires that go to the split switch, I stick a 2.2k resistor inline, this gives you a fatter single coil sound and les...

Not long now, sprayed the body today, now to leave it 24 - 48 hours then on to assembly. Attachment : 20230527_154914.jpg Attachment : 20230527_154900.jpg

@kalimar haven't a clue buddy, I stumbled in here after I'd started building.

@kalimar But your fender type bridge is easier because you don't need any neck angle, that bridge you have looks very simple and maybe good for a first go.

@kalimar I've done them with a 35mm blank doing a 3 + 3 headstock with a low angle and volute, worked great.

Welcome along

That's the neck glued in and post holes done, stil a bit more sanding then onto finish. Attachment : 20230523_172052-01.jpeg

Frets all levelled, crowned and polished. Side markers done, everything sanded to 240 grit. Something went slightly off somewhere so the neck angle ended up a bit off so I made a shim that goes from a...
