Such a clean build! I love how you did the headstock angle...carving from the back. Its lookin really really good. Cant wait to see more.

Looks like you have a cool design going. It will be interesting to see how this one turns out.

Very Cool...A "CLEARly Different Instrument" indeed. Well Done. How does it sound?

YES!!!!! I love your shape and the carving you do. Can't wait to see the progress on this guitar.

My vote is for Jaden. I love Paul Gilbert. Awesome 80's guitar. That is totally something he would have played. Nice work.

Yeah. I came across it on EdRoman.com I can't remember the story behind it, but i think it was a tribute to Yngwie Malmsteen. But then it was stolen and no one knows where it is. But its cool. it was $30,000.00 http://www.edroman.com/featured/expensiveguitars.htm

They also have a chopsaw and bandsaw coming out. http://www.sawstop.com/products-future-products.htm too bad your finger has to be wet and salty. i dont usually wet my fingers when wood working. maybe i should start though.

Very NICE! Thats my kind of guitar. I'm making a guitar with at reverse Jackson headstock and a tension bar. Lookin good! I like the Burl.

yesterday...

Well. I started the inlay cover up idea and quickly realized i just need to bind the whole fretboard. so i'll just be binding it. I carved the tummy contour in the body. Once i get the neck bound i'll probably glue it on then start working on the contouring between the heel and the body. for now.... fretboard pictures...maybe next week. the whole neck has just been a never ending dissapointment. I feel really bad for messing up the beautiful ebony fretboard i got from Erik. Hopefully it will turn out better. ---Thanks for looking.

Cool. did you scribe away the "negative" flame inlay into your alder body with the laser cutter?

Very cool. Way better than my first guitar.. Where did you get those awesome red dots!?!?!?!?

Today.....I routed the control cavity......it goes all the way through the body because i will have the quilted maple top. anyway. turned out nice...clean rout...no tearout. I had to go with the magnets in the cavity instead of the standard screws. i've always wanted to try it. I've seen it done here before, but how is the magnet/metal attached to the cover plate? Thin magnet tape? or sticky metal backing tape? here are some pictures of the current body. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c333/reantel/CIMG0194.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c333/reantel/CIMG0198.jpg Side dots turned out....really bad. I dont know what happened. I've done side dots before on ebony fretboards, it was dissapointing. so i have an idea to cover it up....its like binding but only for the inlayed frets. Once i get the supplies in the mail. i'll post some pictures. anyway...thanks for looking

Yes, It holds in place... I cut about 4 inches of the end of the neck and glued it on the bottom, its about an inch and a half thick at the neck tenon. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c333/reantel/DSCN1859.jpg I want to carve the back of the body to meet with the back of the neck, and maybe do some work on the bottom horn the more i look at it the more it looks out of place.
