Nice job id love to here it rip

Very nice stuff great stain job

elmers glue here (just dont like getting near a freshly buffed nitro guitar with cyno)

Nice im gonna give that a try (the whole neck thing ) i mostly cut just the fretboard slots,perimeter (and inlay) with my small machine CNC cut the parts,body,rough top,covers,rings,etc with the bigger one.

yup as eric said any thickness whatever ya think goes good with what ya have

I think supernova was right it is kinda like polishing a turd (cucumber size)

the flat ones

Thank you gibsonsg26 ill be posting another couple pics of this build in a day or two cust supposed to send me email of inlay (still waiting)

I think he has a place in danbury ct i live here ill find out

it started at 1" the top but that too is hollowed out only weighs about 7 pounds

the very first one is a hollowbody

leave plenty for the volute you can always take it off (cant put it on)

Thanks Jason looking forward to it for 14 years

here is the volute i use on my guitars i do it to all my guitars that i build. next week my site will be up. ill let you all know when.

Stol Guitars

Thanks for the nice comments guys the tenon goes 5"past the bridge and yes i will post all the pics as i go

the volute i can post another pic of a guitar i have already done if ya want?

the fretboard is Madagascar rosewood bound with western tiger maple

http://home.comcast.net/~scrraceman/fretboard.jpg

with cocobolo pickup surrounds and matching back covers and knobs

cust is undecided on inlay as of this posting(i know its something wild anyway) ill post more soon after neck is done being carved

ok i have one in my hand i got it down to 17 and 3/8 by the threads that are on it (just have to trim the back threads off) if ya trim a tiny bit of plastic away from the red covers ya prob can get it to 17 straight up oh it is 18 including the nut

did ya try shortening it with the threads yet?

more info is needed >is it a rosewood fretboard to begin with? if so do you have any matching (somewhat lighter) rosewood around ? post a pic of the damaged area please

what kind of stew mac file are you using? and are you talking about(right around the very corners of the fret ends?) ive found the stew mac#1175 to be pretty good (can you post a pic of where you talking about it would help)

OK just screw the strap right to the guitar with a big washer (never come off) lol sorry

I would like to know how that test comes out 500
