Neck kinda thicknessed and gluing on wings for the headstock. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the neck carved Attachment : 20230310_162737.jpg Attachment : 20230310_162721.jpg

Got a good bit of the neck cut out, sorted the heel, done the neck pocket and planed the angle into the heel for the tom bridge. Attachment : 20230309_182950.jpg Attachment : 20230309_18302...

@rocknroller912 sort of, eventually lol. Learnt a lot though and next time it'l be flawless first go! 🤣

Well this turned out nice! Specs are, brazillian mahogany neck and body, neck through, warman destrpyer pickups, gotoh floyd and tuners, ebony board with aluminium tubing side dots and fret markers. F...

Well after a bit of faffing about I think I'm fairly happy now. Next job, assembly Attachment : 20230307_183440.jpg

Attachment : 20230305_235312.jpg Been trying things out for the finish on this one when it comes. First is sawdust and superglue to fill the cracks then a coat of oil based polyurethane thinned ...

@tv101 Not saying it's terrible, just maybe not as good as having an actual piece of the wood lol. Worst case in this context 🤣 🤣

@tv101 Worst case you could maybe use random wood then add a veneer to match the top?

Neck blank has been routed, trussrod fitted and fretboard glued, I can get on with that tomorrow or something but in the meantime I've been out and levelled the top of the body blank then cut it out. ...

@robin Loads more adjustment too, I always fit new strings on a new build. At least it helps rule the problem out if there is a problem.

@robin if the strings are old they could be causing intonation problems, I had a bad G with a set of elixir and they were brand new! Intonation was awful. New string and boom! Sorted. The A string ...

Well that's the body blank all glued up! Needed a few clamps due to the nature of wonky oak lol. I often find with anything spalty or that it needs a few extra clamps but once glued to a stable body i...

@swepri I get bored and restless lol

@tv101 but only one at a time instead of batches lol

Well, my latest is sitting curing with a number of coats of hard wax oil on it so thought I'd start my next build. It's also going to be a carve top, gibson scale length, 24.75 inches, 22 fret, tune o...

@tv101 yeh but I'm handy too! 🤣

Got another piece off a mate, defo oak this time. Need to figure out which way they'll go best together. Attachment : 20230301_180126.jpg Attachment : 20230301_180145.jpg

So got to my mates today and got the sycamore sawn up. His self made gadget worked a treat! Attachment : VideoCapture_20230301-155209.jpg Attachment : 20230301_155005.jpg Attach...
