    I agree, your other desiree colour was much better. Though the quality of the work is awesome.

    neck rough cut to width volute rough cut heel rough cut volute sanded overall neck shot more heel shaping starting to shape neck Going to finish shaping the neck on monday (maybe) and then I might glue it onto the body wings. Everything is looking good, and the headstock has been fixed.

    when I was routing the headstock to final shape, the router took a big chunk out of the wood where I added wood on the sides for the headstock (I guess I was taking too much wood out with the router) Here is a very dark picture, (stupid camera phone). http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa98/lo...r/guitar034.jpg and a picture of the 1/4" round over on the body. Also got the control cavity rout done, just gotta finish making the template for the cover thing. (don't have a picture.. apparently my phone didn't save it..)

    so what scale do you guys recommend? 30, 32, or 27?

    Gluing the fretboard onto the neck, lots of clamps Also made a template for an explorer 8 string today.

    I need help deciding the finish on this guitar. I know I'm not painting, or staining, but should I go for high gloss, or a satin finish, and should I fill the mahogany with black epoxy? or what else should I use to fill the grain. ALSO, should I do two 1/4" strips of wenge between the body and the neck joins? or just leave that with maple touching the mahogany.
  13. ngaa
    I love that colour! sadly I have no info about oil finishes.
  14. ngaa
    oh, okay thanks for the info
  15. ngaa
    will it work fine with a schaller floyd rose? or only with a TOM bridge.
  16. ngaa
    oh, okay thanks rgman, I'm happy this wont cause a problem haha.
  17. ngaa
    I have a question about the neck. the neck is at the final width right now, (1-3/4") and when I put the fretboard on there wont be any wood sticking up from under the fretboard, will this cause any problems later? or will I just have to set the pickups a little lower than usual. Here is a diagram if you don't understand what I'm saying.
  18. ngaa
    Looks good, is it going to be painted, stained or what?
  19. ngaa
    started routing the electronics cavity today. Sorry, no pictures.
  20. ngaa
    maybe he just doesn't look in this forum when he is on.
  21. ngaa
    yeah but I would like to get some feedback on how I'm doing since it's only my second one..
  22. ngaa

  23. ngaa

  24. ngaa
