@boo Use a forstner bit to bury the heads in the bench. But yeh, that things a bit of a beast lol

@boo I'll pm you pics of mine in IG, I like using regular 1k matt spray, car stuff. Pics are in here too somewhere but not sure where lol

@boo black limba build?

@swepri I find him really annoying being so adept at doing this stuff like it's nothing 🤣

@nortski Use the first image of the complete guitar top view to work it out, should get really close. Just zoom in on the headstock. Or if you have suitable software edit the pdf and cut the headstock...

Well the yew didn't work out, developed a hell of a back bow, broke the trussrod trying to straighten it lol. Attachment : 20231202_233225.jpg Attachment : 20231202_233451.jpg Anyway...

I have the custom 22 pdf, lets see if I can upload it. It includes the headstock template Attachment : PRS-DC-Custom-22.pdf

Today was cavity cover, arm and belly carves and drilled all the holes Attachment : 1000028914-01.jpeg Attachment : 20231130_161251.jpg Attachment : 20231130_171313.jpg

In the shop they have the radian bit that size, pricier but superb cutters

@robin he got the idea from Charvel. Doing the angled area was fine, making the plate fit was fine, making actual socket fit with a lead plugged in was less fine! Lol

Litle update, got the pickup cavities done and the control panel. Recessed for the nobs because it'll have a couple of push push pots and they need room to go down to pop up, this means I can have the...

@russ Intro is me and the track with the bass update is me, sure I said in the bass vid lol. I just use a drum loop but all the guitar stuff is me.

A bit of bishing bashing and boshing today, got the bridge sorted, alignment is spont on too which is always a relief. Of course I got the laser out and done the logo. Attachment : VideoCapture_...

@liebe the problem with plunge is you can go to deep and start hitting the wood with the collet. For bits you can go with trend for reasonable but if spending a bit more I've got to say radian, they'r...

@liebe Longer router bits, I do mine with a palm router including floyd rose routs etc. Most routers don't have a huge plunge but you use a bunch of different length bits then just swap them as you go...

Not much time today but I did my usual upper fret access carve using a bowl and dish router bit. Attachment : 20231122_173511.jpg

Ok, couple of things. First, I'm a plonker lol. String height is actually less than 2mm at the 12th which is perfect and also when I did a demo in my vid I wasn't using a bass amp plugin, I was using ...

Got the neck pocket done today, sorted most of the shaping around it and also did the neck heel Attachment : 20231121_161854.jpg Attachment : 20231121_173226.jpg Attachment : 20231...

Headstock sorted and main neck carving done, I'll sort the heel once I've done the neck pocket. Attachment : 20231118_161349.jpg Attachment : SquarePic_20231120_17180973.jpg

@nortski string splay is fine, most 3 aside headstocks have it to varying degrees with zero issues. Straighter string pull is generally more desired if fitting a non locking trem because then you want...
