Congratulations @wayne_f, you did a great job!

Very well done @wayne_f. Nice guitar and a great wee video. 🙏🎸🙂🎶

@wayne_f A great build, great video and sounds good too, well done.

. The truss rod somehow slipped about a half-inch toward the headstock. Obviously now it's going to be sticking out past the nut. It seems to be pretty solid in it's place but could it be (carefully) ...

Posted by: @wayne_f I'm not sure when or how this happened but I just now noticed it (after applying 3 coats of finish). The truss rod somehow slipped about a half-inch toward the headstock. Obviousl...

@wayne_f For reference for drilling the routing holes through the body I used a 10mm argur bit with a drill that has a max unloaded speed of 1650RPM and 65NM of tourqe. Apprectiate you dind't have an ...

Boo had to invoke the curse of the CNC machinist, too. "if you are going to make one, might as well make two, right?" Started with the rock maple board, tonight. it was almost perfectly flatsawn, so I...

Nice work @wayne_f and @poco7!

Then I attempted to start putting the frets in. I couldn't even get the first one to go in all the way. The slots were filed before the attempt but that didn't seem to help enough. @wayne_f Did you ...

Oh wow that's a lot of work you've got done @wayne_f it's all looking great. I agree with you on the neck being the most hard work, like Mark says, it'll keep you warm. I found the neck the most sati...

@wayne_f it’s hard to tell from the picture but it looks like the ends are in just the middle that’s proud?

@wayne_f, @koendb, @robin, @boo, @Bpower Well, I'm enjoying the fact that you are working ahead of me..lol, it gives me some extra confidence to know that as we go, we hit little hiccups - like fillin...
