Project - RAD Unfinished Business

I decided to plug up all the holes before putting the top on. I am probably going to change where the bridge sits and the string routes. Better safe than sorry.

Because I am working on voodoo I use the plug cutter to cut maple plugs with the grain running the right direction. I hate trying to redrill posts in end grain.

Going to close all these

Everything I have used on this guitar was scrap or destined for the trash bin.  SO to keep the theme alive I am using the two sample veneers that came with the last order of veneer,  Free flamed maple is always good.

Glued the veneer and the back on at the same time because I am impatient.  More pictures of clamps.IMG_20181223_112027.jpgIMG_20181223_112032.jpg

my thoughts out loud: "dang, not sure I'm onboard with a walnut top with miss-matched flamed headstock... oh, well now that does look really nice with fm on top"!  Did not see where this was going.  Looks nice.  Cudos.

Cheers. Keep watching sometimes i surprise myself!!!

I am going to angle the pickup. I measured every 24.75 guitar in the house and they all use 24" to the back of the pickup. For this I used 24" to the back of the slant. Then slanted the pup to match the slant in the bridge. "Voodoo"

 

The pickup route template uses 1/4" bit on the CNC so the 1/2" radius from the hand router was not enough. Luckily I have a 1/4" bit the right depth to use the shaft  as a template guide.IMG_20181230_150801.jpgIMG_20181230_150804.jpgIMG_20181230_152149.jpgIMG_20181230_152400.jpg
