Definitely the part of the job that can make my life miserable at any given moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real treat to get to see more of your work again. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 @Blackdog Check the links in your sig as the format has changed. The first one should be https://www.projectguitar.com/forums/topic/31474-first-build/ Go to a link, change the domain to projectguitar.com from projectguitar.ibforums.com and the site should update that with the direct link.

Hard-maple might not be so beautifully flamed as big-leaf, but is indeed harder and it has an impact to the sound. - 59 LP Scale lenght and fret spacing: Rule of 18 based on a 24.75” scale. Thinner fretboard. - One piece mahogany neck with old style compression rod (Yes, I'll be going old-school with this one. If the neck is well made and the wood is stable there’s no need for a two-way rod. And the old school one means more wood and less steel in the neck: I like the idea of that). - Steeper tilted back headstock: 17*, and of a new design, with strings fanning out to the tuner posts. Vintage style low mass tuners. I won't be using a volute, but I may try an idea I have for reinforcing the headstock area without betraying the design. We'll see. - Bridge/pickup positions geometry like on a 59 LP Wow so many things are the same as the LP I'm currently building. Thicker Mahogany, thinner Maple, Rule of 18. I can't remember what I was doing in 2015 but I could be accused of lifting your ideas LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
