@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. 😁

if a Floyd rose is used with a set neck that has an angle, would routing a recess for the bridge be useless? I ask because I have 2 guitars with bolt-on necks that are parallel with the neck and… Read more»

When is the best time during the build to do the routing for a Floyd Rose or any locking tremolo bridge system is suppose? Following the course the bridge isn’t done until after the neck has been glued in. However… Read more»

I went on Amazon and bought these.
Yeaterday I used them for the first time. It was also the first time I ever routed any tremolo cavities. What I learned most was…, I need to use a router… Read more»

@tv101 I don’t use it at all anymore. Their software wasn’t quite up to snuff. Dunno if they ever updated it or not but it didn’t work as well as I had hoped nor as well as they had planned…. Read more»

So I have been making my necks 44mm wide at the nut but now I have a slight “issue” with that on my current build. This build btw is for a guitarist in Louisville, KY. He… Read more»

Ok so Design #3 is on hold for now. Since Design #4 has gone beyond where #3 is currently I’ve decided to continue on with #4 and after that I’ll come back to this one. Need to focus on just… Read more»

I have the neck for this one almost ready to glue in but I’m still a few steps from that point. I’m carving the back of it and shewee, 80F/26.6c and a whopping 84% humidity. And I’m not done with… Read more»

I’m jealous of that engraver. I backed one on Kickstarter in 2019 and it made it to production. However, I don’t think I’ll ever get mine since it’s been 4 years. That’s 2 things I’ve lost money on through kickstarter…. Read more»

One thing to keep in mind concerning your cream binding. If you’re going to spray clear on it, the clear could make it darker and closer to the pickup rings. It does depend on the clear too. Some dry crystal… Read more»
