@russ thanks! Is it just because fender doesn’t make any 12” radius guitars? Cuz I can find tons of other sizes

Hey all, I’m almost done with my first bolt on neck and I’m at the part where mark installs the nut. I’m realizing I bought the wrong type of nut and I really need a “fender style” nut with a… Read more»

@russ I am! so you’re saying this “double notch” is for the embedded nut?
If so, that’s incredibly convenient! -

@russ got it…. So if I was to make a fretboard for a strat style guitar, would I just cut my slots and then just leave extra material at the top of the first fret? like for example, just… Read more»

Hello! I’m about to start my second guitar. I want this one to be a bolt on neck. I bought a precut (Gibson scale) fretboard from Stewart McD. I’m seeing in the bolt on course he has a “sacrificial” first… Read more»

@liebe hey Dan, thanks a lot. I ended up plugging the hole and just going down to one pickup… this was my original plan to begin with so not worrie. I’ll just cover the pickup hole with a pick guard

So if you remember my post about messing up my scale, I fixed that by altering the design of the body and cutting the top part (closest to the neck) off and making it look smooth. And it came out… Read more»

When you say glue in, then strip it down and paint. You mean leave the neck in cuz we just glued it, right? so I would just remove hardware and the mask the hell out of the fretboard and… Read more»

Quick question about the order of tasks…. In the lessons, Mark glues the neck and then applies the finish. But he’s using a wipe on oil….. If I wanted to actually use paint as a finish, is that still the… Read more»

@robin Actually, now that I look at it, this doesn’t seem too horrible….. I think the may be the easiest method to reshape on this line. Does that jive with you?

@robin That’s an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down?

SomethingNicer replied to the topic "Somehow messed up scale" – 9 months ago
@robin You know I had that thought, I guess it wouldn’t be horrible. Just cut a small curve off the top and sand by hand. I’d love to not if possible, lol

@robin It looks like My pickup and bridge spots don’t match my original drawing. I think if my lower pup was a bit higher, this wouldn’t be an issue

I thought about that….. I’ve got extra dust, I guess it’s no issue if the dot itself gets dust glued to it as long as I sand it back down flush?

Hello all! So I have my front dots installed and as I’m sanding them down I’m noting that on a couple there’s a little bit of gap. Well since sanding the dots flush, the gap was filled with the white… Read more»
