well... it has been a while since I gave an update. I was able to get the twist out of the neck. I believe I still have enough meat on the headstock that there will be no problems. I will be adding a ...

@bpower Good luck I hope it fits the body ok

@rocknroller912 thanks for the input. My experience working with wood makes me believe it would be fine but I like hearing others think the same as me. I will make the volute bigger. I didnt think of ...

@bpower I would say you will be ok but hard to give an opinion without handling the piece. Might leave the volute a bit bigger than you intended.

@rocknroller912 The neck blank is just a little bit off of full quarter sawn. I needed to take material off of both sides of the headstock but I have only removed material off of the fretboard side of...

@bpower I think it depends on the piece of wood, how strong it feels and if it’s quarter or flat sawn. Quarter will be more resistant to flexing than flat. You could make sure that the veneer is a ti...

@bpower That brought my thickness of my headstock from 15.5mm down to 13.5mm. In your opinion, do you think this is too thin to have enough strength? My thought is that I think it would be strong en...

ok. Straightened the neck out as best I could. With that, and where I decided to remove material, I needed to fix my headstock so that is in the same plane as the rest of the neck. Removed the materia...

@russ that's what I'm thinking now too. I think it affected more than I think and I'm just finding it out now. At least I didn't find this out after I put the fretboard and stuff on. It sucks but it c...

@russ it was up on a shelf of my woodworking room. The problem is that I had a flood a while back and soaked everything that was on the floor. I've been drying things out for a while. I thought that, ...

Where did you have it stored @bpower? I've got mine under the bed. 🤣 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Well... the saga of this guitar build keeps going. I managed to get the body of the guitar to where I'm happy enough with it... that's the good news. Start working on the neck again and I notice that ...

@robin build her one and she’ll forgive the times you didn’t work on the honey-do list. Even more so if you encourage her to sell it and she does just that. Why? You just gave her shoe budget a very n...

Keep going @bpower, it’ll work out. 💪

Looking good @bpower 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Posted by: @bpower Here are some progress pictures. Note the couple of center seam diamonds that my daughter helped me make and she glued in. She has done this on all three builds so far. She ma rks ...

Posted by: @bpower I think, with the problems and the mistakes made, this guitar build has come to the point of it being a learning experience. I am going to keep going at it to practice my skills a...

@bpower All that looks like so much fun, my next build has got to be an acoustic.

Here are some progress pictures. Note the couple of center seam diamonds that my daughter helped me make and she glued in. She has done this on all three builds so far. She ma rks them with a G. 🙂 ...
