RestorationAD Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Nothing better than your best friend being a professional architect. He and i sketched some stuff on a piece of paper, talked about what it means to be an SG, and it became th e headstock design for the SG.

Prostheta Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Chipout is always unsupported short grain. Every time it happens to me, short grain. Beyond that, routers are happy creatures until they are fed the wrong bit of wood at the wrong time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestorationAD Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 "Chipout" is what happens when Chip gets tired of hanging around doing nothing and leaves the party. "Tearout" is what happens when an evil router decides to destroy your hopes and dreams for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu. Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Nice work on the SG! I was curious to see how you'd approach the neck tenon; the standard Gibson setup seems like a colossal faff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestorationAD Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Drill the tuners. For normal tuners I use a 3/8" bit and then a Stew Mac 10mm reamer to properly fit them. And I recess the front because I like the way it looks and voodoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestorationAD Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Pro-Tip: Sperzel Tuners are reversible. Never spend money on left handed or 3+3 sperzel sets. If you take a standard right handed 6 inline set you can make a staggered/graduated 3+3 set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
