@boo The fretboard is rosewood. I am planning to do a semi-hollowbody, loosely based on the Bandsman shape. The first build turned out very heavy, so why not try a variation with a thin top and some r...

Posted by: @swepri Man, you made me go straight out to the workshop and thickness/plane a new fretboard blank! @swepri That’s what I’m here for. 😆 What wood is it? What build are you plann...

@boo Man, you made me go straight out to the workshop and thickness/plane a new fretboard blank! 👍

Posted by: @swepri I think I will have to start a new build soon. Hard to resist when seeing other builds.. @swepri Yeah, go for it. I have chosen to make building guitars part of my life, I’m alway...

@boo Looking good! I think I will have to start a new build soon. Hard to resist when seeing other builds... 😀

I had a pop at the other neck today. I’ve blended the nut area into the headstock and rounded all the corners over with various grades of sandpaper. The whole headstock is sanded to p320 grade now. Th...

I’ve had a couple of days off from guitar making to move some more stuff out of the house but I couldn’t resist carving the nut area into the headstock on one of these necks. I thought I would do the ...

Both look perfect for each of the bodies @boo. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@boo wow. Those look really cool. 🙂

I’ve yet to carve them but I couldn’t resist offering them up to have a look how they might look. I like it so far. Attachment : 1E5ACE4A-4912-4342-96B3-A5686774A946.jpeg Attachment : 5D14...

I’ve still got a long way to go but these necks are starting to look good with their respective bodies. I’m going to use all gold hardware on both of them, I think it would be rude not to. Attachm...

Looking good @boo. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

All glued, pinned and clamped. I’ll come back to this tomorrow. Attachment : 2BBA8BD6-5092-4EAA-A260-099B19D968F5.jpeg Attachment : 02B65A71-789A-4971-984D-B64827EEF14F.jpeg

Time to get the fretboard on. I always lightly clamp it in place first and make sure everything lines up and is in the right place. Then put my caul on to see where the holes need drilling for the loc...

Planed the fillet and a bit of scraping too. It’s very satisfying doing this bit. Attachment : E1122733-50DC-4E33-A50B-189437C228FC.jpeg Attachment : 50F601AC-C8D6-49C9-A76A-9A96740AC6AC....

Time to unclamp and plane this truss rod fillet down so I can glue this amazing fretboard on. This neck is going to look stunning. Attachment : F77B5056-B3F7-49A4-8D84-89E05D7B7996.jpeg

I used an offcut from the fretboard to make a fillet to cover the truss rod. Waste not, want not. Attachment : 96425C65-C563-45A6-B6F9-DF5FE41F6F51.jpeg

Time to make a fretboard for the panga neck. I’m going to use this lovely piece of pale moon ebony, again using the Bagpress Fret Slotting Jig. Attachment : 72C6B36A-0C93-4E75-9274-C5570263D22D.j...

They are both looking good together. Attachment : 2E4024FF-2528-4DC2-A640-7421CB060D89.jpeg Attachment : 05654C2E-A31E-4352-8B93-3C5701B14201.jpeg Attachment : 9C7F48FF-E731-40DB-9B...

Time to drill the panga and route the headstock to depth. Attachment : AC24879F-08CF-44C1-842A-25A70D6097C3.jpeg Attachment : 59F41F43-5389-4900-BFCF-F3ED9F75EB47.jpeg
