Mr Natural Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 been gone for a while-life/work/children had me quite busy. Glad to be getting back in the shop. its been like 8 or 9 months, although I did paint my shop (garage) during that time this will be a present for my uncle who will be retiring in 2 years. it will probably take me that long to build it seeing how I take 8-9 months away at a time. He is a huge Beatles fan, and I know he will get a kick out of this. Ricky 12 string. maple body, maple and walnut neck 8/4 maple- glued together. This back side will be routed out, and covered by 1/4" maple back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonx Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Building a guitar as a present, great idea and very rewarding. Hope this build goes flawlessly for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Natural Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 body shape routed. No tear out. Yeah for me (my track record with maple is not good around the horns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Good to hear! I had all kinds of nightmares with tearout on a roundover bit last week until I took it into the sharpening workshop and sorted it out. Crazy how a lick off a diamond grinding wheel can make a dull bit surgical again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
