Straight off the Gibson website,
"We felt compelled to settle as the costs of proving our case at trial would have cost millions of dollars and taken a very long time to resolve. This allows us to get back to the business of making guitars. An important part of the settlement is that we are getting back the materials seized in a second armed raid on our factories and we have formal acknowledgement that we can continue to source rosewood and ebony fingerboards from India, as we have done for many decades." -
Awesome guitars!

Great video!
There must be a way of sanding/routing the edges perfectly and precisely or factories wouldn't be veneering carved tops.

That book looks great for amps and pedals, but there was only a couple of pages on guitars.
Guitar electronics is my first priority, learning how to create complex circuits from scratch.

Is that quilting going across the ebony?

That top looks great!

Hi guys,
I thought I read somewhere that neck angles are ergonomically better,
Measuring 6 guitars without TOMs only half of them have neck angles, they are all fairly modern (presumably) CNC built guitars so the manufactures would have made a choice to have no neck angle.
I've drawn up a neck through guitar with ABM single string bridges and they do not need a neck angle (in fact the ABMs are so low that I would have to thin the fretboard just to add a neck angle).
So is there any ergonomic reason to add a neck angle or will it make the guitar play any better?
Cheers
Neil

The link in the OP says they start at like $1300 pretty cheap really.I can't even afford a CNC - I'm not even going to waste my time asking what one of these machines costs!

Does anyone know of any really good thorough modern guitar electronics books? (preferably one that takes you from a complete beginner all the way to advanced stuff).
Would also be nice to have sections on pedals, what components and circuits are creating what effects and how (may be even amp stuff, but not important).
This book seems to be the best I've found so far, but various reviews have stated it as being very outdated, has anyone read it?
Cheers
Neil

Whats that black laminate on the body?

Looks great!

Looking forward to this!

Buying Strangberg stuff direct (when available) is your best bet, I doubt you could design and manufacture your own any cheaper.

That's a really outdated rule and should be changed, internet speeds have come a long way in 8 years, most people can load pictures these days

My Mitutoyo 6" was made in Japan.I know that Mitutoyo is a great Brand but here are vey expensive and they are made in Brazil not even in Japan. -
Build looks great! (your tuners are on backwards though )

Looks great!
Flamed maple head cap would be best

This thread is great!
-
Pretty please!I keep meaning to do a tutorial on how I derive CAD designs from photography, which is something readily available online and can yield very accurate results if done well. Worth considering, I think. -
Cool stuff!

Very interesting, would be good to see a creep test done against all the leading yellow glues.I saw this thread http://www.guitarscanada.com/guitar-building-methods-techniques/42097-titebond-iii-glue-revisited-some-testing.htmland went for it O.o. Too late now haha.
At the end of the day Titebond original is the cheapest so...

You should only use Titebond Original (the red bottle) for guitar building.
IIRC the titebonds that are waterproof (II and III) don't fully dry like original to allow for movement of the wood, and therefore are more susceptible to glue creep.
