nice job, it's really interesting I have a question: these "wings" are glued, nailed, or they are set-on? you can remove them? I was thinking in a travel guitar, similar to that silent acoustic guitars, with wings like yours, to make the guitar more compact. well, id'like to see them.

well, I was a little bury, and I passed some weeks without checking this forum... and now the little baby is born! it's very beautiful, congratulations man! we always became a kid when we have a new toy!

well, it's really interesting... what you call "very ugly" i would have called "my best"... but usind a ribbon is interesting, it's what's they call "finishing". you cover the ugly parts, and prtoect them, 'cause it's a sensible part. it works like a pickguard, who protects the wiring of a guitar, and allows fixing the pickups more precisely.

man, it's incredible how the colors of the wood changes with the finish... it's always an unexpected reaction (for us, not for the professionals...) it became very dark, but it still beautyful! and the case is very nice too.

very nice! it looks great with the knobs. how it's fixed in the body? there are some screw, or what?

really interesting this batteries. i can see that this electronic part you uderstand very well!

it's looking beautiful! congratulations man!

man, this tuner is really amazing. but i have to tell you... I have no idea how it works! you put the ball-end of the strings in the neck, right? and how you tie the string in this tuner? It's possible to do many turns on it? Or you have to pull the string before start tuning? (can you understand my doubts?) the body looks really nice too. I'm waiting to see how the Gt2 will look into it! well, I'm waiting for news!

nice job! and thanks for posting the photos!

Well, I built a tele in the last year. I'm not a luthier, it was my first try. the photos are on my site (www.kiyoto.xpg.com.br/telecaster/). the text is in portuguese, sorry, but I think the photos can help you. if you need to understand something, just ask me and I'll try to help you!

thanks man! not only the smell, but the taste... it's so peculiar, when you're sanding it. you breathe the powder, and feel a taste in the tongue. the cespanish cedar was really rose (like its name in portuguese, cedro rosa) before the finishing, but after it became really caramel. I didn't expected, but i leked it anyway! to all the others, thanks for the helps and the commentaries!

man, that step-by-step of the headpiece is amazing! nice photos! i never worked with metal, only bought the hardware... maybe someday I'll try to make, it's really interesting. and it looks really nice to me, but I don't understand much of metal working... and about the carnival, well, I was here, but I don't like the party too much. I spent the holyday with my girl, and It's enough to me waiting for the next steps!

hi julian... very these photos! I saw you used that metal pieces to screw the neck (I don't know the name, here in brasil we call "bucha"). it's very goos, when you're making the guitar you have to set the neck many times to check millions of things, and put it off all the time (mainly if you are unexperienced). I was afraid of overscrewing (this word exists?) my tele neck. i was advised to use one of these pieces, if there was any problem... but there was no problem =] have you decided the finishing you'll make? I hope you're thinking in let the wood appear, because that jacarand strip is so beautiful... well, buen trabajo a ti amigo (y perdona si no escribo bien ni el ingles ni el espanol...)

I didn't understand, it's out of the axis because you did it alittle wrong, or the wood has curved after you did it? if it's the second option, i reccomend you to do another one, with a dryer wood. if it's the first option, maybe you can use this neck. well, there's an importante thing to think about: you think you can make another one, better? and all the other parts? it's your fistr try, or have you done another ones? in my opinion it's not so bad. but I'm not so experienced, I'm only starting in the guitarbuilding...

hi neighbor, saludos desde brasil! pretty interesting project! the body looks very good, I'm waiting for news. I'd like to built a travel guitar someday, similar to tyours. but i was thinking in a built-in-amp, with a few efects inside. hasta luego
