@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.

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...

The method Mark uses for carving the neck is so quick using mahogany, took me less than an hour to crave the neck, heel and do the volute. Got the frets in earlier before carving. Attachment : 2...

Got the fretboard radiused and markers in, 6mm aluminium tube with sawdust and superglue. Get the frets in tomorrow Attachment : 20230519_233716-01.jpeg Attachment : 20230519_233659.jpg

@tv101 No no, I got the trussrod and headstock plate off it lol

Crack goes all the way to the floyd cavity, you can bend the neck and feel the body move lol This one is firewood! 🤣

Well bollox! I knew the neck was tight but only just realised how tight! Gone and split the body! 🤣 Think I'll put this one on the back burner pile for now lol Attachment : 20230517_0...

Glued the neck in today then this evening I thought I'd check how it all looks. Well that's a relief! Now onto more finishing. Attachment : 20230516_232335-01.jpeg Attachment : 20230516...

Got the carve done today and the recess for the controls, after a lot of sanding I wiped down with white spirit to have a look. Looks awesome! Attachment : 20230516_173348-01.jpeg

Well this has progressed, body cut out, pickups and control catvity routed, belly carve done and neck on it's way to being done. Tomorrow I'll be carving the top, mostly filing due to the knots lol ...

Carves sorted, frets levelled and polished, fretboard oiled and now the body has finish applied. Next will be to mask up around the pocket and glue the neck in, then mask the body and get finish on th...

Welcome along

Got some routing done today, just the control cavity then it's drill the wire holes. Hopefully when it comes time to string up it all looks good! Attachment : 20230506_175246-01.jpeg

@russ baddumtish! 🤣

Got the frets in yesterday and today I got on with side markers, carving the neck, volute and heel a bit and also got the neck pocket routed. I was thinking of adding a tiny angle to the heel so I cou...

Welcome Chris from about 70 miles further North.

Today I was able to sand back and get a look at how things were going, so far pretty good. Had to add a tiny bit more resin in a couple of spots but it's getting there. Attachment : 20230501_15372...
