@markbailey thanks mark, much appreciated

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 they ...

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 glue...

@boo love what you’ve done with this. Plus purple and gold are my alma mater colors. 😁

I went on Amazon and bought these. Attachment : IMG_0592.png Attachment : IMG_0591.png Yeaterday I used them for the first time. It was also the first time I ever routed any tremolo cavi...

@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. At least ...

Uhm…, I backed this project on Kickstarter back in 2020.

Attachment : IMG_0584.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0586.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0587.jpeg So I have been making my necks 44mm wide at the nut but now I have a slight “issue” with that on my c...

I’m sorry guys, I’m just terrible at documenting my builds. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I’ve gotten to the point of working on the finish for this one. Started working on the front on ...

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 one guita...

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 the ...

Here’s where I am at the moment. Had to take a break. Temp is only 78f/25.5c but the humidity is 64%. After 2 facets I can wrong sweat out of my t-shirt. Y’all are welcome to come visit anytime. ...

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 th...

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 ...

They made a LOT of things better back then. Well made them to last not to be thrown away in a few years. Planned obsolescence, the only way corporations can survive these days. Too many companies figh...

@nsj we’ll just jump on a plane and come on over. You can help carve some necks in the heat. 🤣 Make sure it’s somewhere between late July and mid-September to get the full experience though. D...

Here’s what I use most. 😁 Attachment : IMG_0796.MOV I think Mark has something like this he mentions being his fav too. This one is antique and was originally used by my Dad in the body...

I’m in Kentucky, USA and it’s Summer. That means it’s hot here, and high humidity, plus I don’t have A/C in my garage/workshop. Makes for sweaty, sometimes hard to breathe, manual labor. One place I u...

I finished putting the binding on. Hangs over the neck about 0.5mm. That will get taken care of once I put the frets and side dots in. Next step? That big scary router bit to profile the back of the n...

So I decided to take Sunday off but I’m back at it this morning. I just finished adding binding to the neck. Later today I will be cutting the rear profile of the neck with that bit. I’m planning to s...
