al heeley Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 lovely top carve and very nice piece of flame maple. More pics please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Thanks. Here's a couple more pics. Right now I'm a little frustrated. It appears the forced hot air heat/winter has made the fretboard shrink a little. Gotta file down the ends a little again. cover plate neck heel side view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Great job. How'd you go about leaving the natural edge on the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Great job. How'd you go about leaving the natural edge on the top? I taped it off with blue painters tape. I was careful not to really soak the rag and I kept running my finger along the edge to make sure it was sticking good. A couple spots had minor seepage but I just sanded lightly to clean it up. I was gonna try and clear the edge first but it would've been a tougher tape job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
