hi all,
after much thinking, reading, drawing and reading hundreds of posts over here in projectguitar.com i finally started building my first guitar, here are the specs:
Scale length: 635mm (25")
24 frets
maple neck with rosewood fretboard, headstock angle 13º, U-Channel truss rod
ash body
Schaller 3D6 bridge (fixed)
Schaller tuners
here is the body shape i came up with, it's not very original but i like it, any comments/criticism is, as always, appreciated
here are some progress pics on the neck, they're only of the fretboard glueing, i forgot to get pictures of the steps before that
attaching the fingerboard
clamped neck
headstock
below is a shot of the templates, neck & body, being aligned so i make sure everything is ok, i use a very thin string that is stretched along the templates
neck body alignment
another shot of that
next step: build a robosander copy, will use it the taper the neck
