avengers63 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Now whyinthehell didn't I think of that! That's just too simple of a solution. Now I gotta raid the scrap bin to make a jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestorationAD Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Now whyinthehell didn't I think of that! That's just too simple of a solution. Now I gotta raid the scrap bin to make a jig. Used to use my chop saw until I started using the radial arm saw. Nice pictures of how you are doing things. Looks like you use the chop saw to angle the heal of the neck? (or is that just an illusion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonx Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Nice details. I'll be following this build. I like the second inlay, I also like that wherever you got them from supplied a template, that is rare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygtr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) That set up you used for routing the side bars is beyond cool. Edited May 23, 2012 by crazygtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the second inlay, I also like that wherever you got them from supplied a template, that is rare! You mean sticky paper on fretboard? All inlays are handcut by myself. It's jast one of my experiments how to transfer pattern on wood, but nothing can't beat up a good scribe.

Prostheta Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Wow, can't believe that I didn't spot this thread sooner. No better way to appear on the board eh? BANG > build thread I very much like the side marker bars and how your approach in general seems very pragmatic and thought out but not overcomplicated. Very very nice. What was the Dremel base riding on as a reference guide for the side markers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdshirtman Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Super clean work. I'd love to see a pictorial of how you got the headstock binding so clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maull Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 So I am a little new at this but I am curious how you did those bindings to match the frets. It looks awesome and my next project (just in the design stage) is a LP copy for a friend. Would love to add some detail like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a pictorial of how you got the headstock binding so clean. i have not photographed each step of building process, but here one trick - use aceton instead of glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
