@russ Ah, so it's kinda like half of Gengar's hair

Very unique body shape and I like the color. Nicely done. Is that an inlay on the horn?

Yeah, I expected the angle to be the main criticism. It's my take on the Dean style 3X3 design which they use for almost half of their catalog. I swea...

Here it is. The final installment of my guitar building saga. This video is a condensed recap of the entire build from start to finish. I want to...

I was able to knock it back before I leveled the frets. It will still be sticking out a bit but a millimeter or two is better than a half-inch.

Okay. Thanks guys. I'll give it a try once the finish is done.

Routed the neck pocket today but not quite to full depth. Then I went to see how the neck would fit. That's when I was hit with a little disappointmen...

@wolframmalukker Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you're very well-equipped. Have fun with your build!

To clarify, I bought (from StewMac) medium/high fret wire as opposed to medium/medium. This means that not only is the crown higher but also the tang ...

@markbailey That was probably part of the problem yesterday. Today I had better support but was still having trouble. I figured out what was wrong ...

Today, I got the fingerboard smoothed and radiused. Then I attempted to start putting the frets in. I couldn't even get the first one to go in all the...

@robin Well, "hardest" meaning the most strenuous. I know there are still plenty of opportunities to screw it up haha.

Here's an overdue progress update video:
