Absolutely loving this thread, in today's throw away world so good to see something get beautifully restored  

Looking so cool

The neck joint look super cool

Looking great

Making these kind of decisions is part of the fun, hey, that is a great shape and a one piece body is always special, especially when it has grain that looks like a flying V right in the middle of it

That is a lovely piece of timber on the top Scott, how long does it take you to chisel the contours into a top like that?

Yep its looking great hope the binding goes well

That looks fantastic, are you going to post a photo of the whole guitar with the headstock showing?

The myrtle burl looks sensational, in the second piece I can see a quizzical beagle and above him the witch from Snow White.

That looks amazing, awesome colour and finish

I saw some one else on here or sso that had a similar jig so I had to make one it's a great idea! 

 

A router sled  isn't terrible for cutting scarf joints it just takes some time to get the Jig set up properly and of course actually cut the scarf. Where are you located there may be somebody from this group that is close by that wouldn't mind helping you outmind helping you out

Plans for a jig to cut a scarf joint with a hand saw on my Cherry Bomb thread page 2

PS if you use the plan just scroll down to the picture of the jig being used to correct the placement of one of the dowel guides.

That is a fantastic guitar it looks and sounds awesome, zebra stripes really do it for me 

So beautiful, love the colours popping like that under the gloss.

Magnificent job on this, what an awesome result.

Yep Curtisa you are right 3 mm is too thin for a template, Steve switch to 6mm mdf for templates and you should be fine

This is looking incredible, Battle of Evermore for its first song?

Looking fantastic Scott, what has to be done before the neck goes on?

The body shape looks great, if it is a softer pine species it might be worth putting some hardwood veneer on the back that would stop buckle rash really gouging divets out. Does anyone know whether painting superglue on the the neck pocket surfaces would strengthen it?

Very true about the MDF and the mask, love seeing the templates getting made.

Looking sensational

Fantastic guitar, it sounds excellent, great to see it getting played and in the workshop. Lots of cool touches, like the headstock shape and logo

Always great to chat to you Scott, really enjoying seeing your mandolin take shape. My buddies and I have been hard at work recording 6 original songs. Here is the Neve desk in the studio, I have been using a blend of real tube amp plus the pod modeling amp. Just about to have one of these strange beers. Look forward to seeing more sawdust
