    Yup, i agree about the snipe at the ends...but if the jointed is not well set up, or has dull blades as i suspect the one they have is it won't be good either.

    yeah i keep going back and forth about re doing it...which sucks. The wood shop where i take my timber to be cut, jointed and surface are greedy mofos... i know that once i carve the neck the glue lines will be almost invisible...but still don't know what to do. Some pieces curved towards once side sharply, so i didn't use that one piece, but makes me wonder if a one piece neck will do that...

    Yeah i guess the glue lines are OK i guess, but considering i had perfect joint lines in the previous guitar, this is frustrating. My main concerns are glue swelling/creeping and neck unstability once it's stringed Most venezuelan in other countries have had to leave because of the seggregation, discrimination and exclusion lists that virtually leaves you no opportunities or options there. The brain draught is impressive, i'd say 99% of venezuelans in other countries have university degrees. I am a dentist with a master's degree in endodontics myself...

    So, i moved on to the 3 piece maple neck...after laminating the maple/mahogany/maple which was perfect, i get this: Glue lines... If i had glued this with epoxy it wouldn't bother me, but since i used Titebond, i come here and ask advice: What should i do? Would i be ok with these glue lines? the guitar will be painted a solid color...

    So, the nice guys from the venezuelan nazi onal guard drilled more holes in my guitars. I think you've seen the camo warlock they drilled holes to. Now they did it to these guitar bodies i sent to Spain, as i have moved there, because i am in a black list for being against Chavez and it's pathetic excuse for a goverment. They enter my ID number and they know i am against them. To make international shipments i must give the post office a copy of my ID Card. So that's why they do this. And to think i must hear everyday here in Spain idiots telling me how great Chavez was, and how wonderful it's what he did. I hate you all...

    I'd leave it natural, but if you really want to paint it, i like it in yellow.

    Looks good mate! if you're stuck at this point, you can always work on the fretboard. That truss rod install is damn clean.

    I remember Pukko's first guitar back when i lived in Spain in 2006. I'm glad to keep seeing more projects coming from you, it feel like time stopped, now that i am back in Spain

    I guess if ash is stable enough for a baseball bat, should be good for a neck...

    Cutting a neck angle. It's a guitar i'm building for a guitar forum. It will have a raised center like a Firebird.

    So, they did a good job at the wood shop, and the neck laminates are glued with Titebond. No visible glue lines here

    it'd be great if manufacturers start selling PRS style compression dual action rods.

    No, lol. This guy wants me to build him an all mahogany rhoads, with an ebony board with a 15-20" compound radius. He has now settled for 19mm...***???
  15. eddiewarlock
    Acetone dissolves super glue.
  16. eddiewarlock
    Good topic. I have been requested the same thing, but on top of that, he also wants the neck to be made of mahogany, and an ebony fretboard. I explained him that with the truss rods we have available it might not be a good idea to have an 18mm thick neck. I told him it only leaves 1.5mm of wood behind the truss rod. That it might work if we make it a little bit thicker, 19mm, only 1 mm more. Haven't heard from the guy since. I guess it's better this way, i don't have the patience to deal with people who are so **** who just can't or don't want to understand this.

    Love how it looks. that Floyd rose looks really slick.
  18. eddiewarlock
    hehehe, good! Right now i am about to start the construction of a neck thru body Tele, laminated neck of maple and african mahogany with mahogany wings and ebony fretboard Then i will build 2 or 3 pointy guitars
  19. eddiewarlock
    Thanks mate! yeah you just can´t use any epoxy. I had this neck i made, 5 pieces maple and purpleheart and i used 5 minutes epoxy to glue the laminates. It looked wonderful. Until i glued the fretboard. The clamp pressure broke the epoxy joints, and my laminated neck looked like a book... Then i made another neck using 2 ton epoxy. Now, that thing is rock hard. I love it. But here in Spain they only sell crap epoxy, so i've already ordered Titebond

    BTW does anyone know the dimensions of a Jackson Rhoads and a ESP Horizon? I printed a couple of plans but i feel they came out too small...
  21. eddiewarlock
    Sapele is cheap and god, if you find it quartersawn is soooo good looking. Are you gonna use sapele for the neck as well?
  22. eddiewarlock
    making a set neck guitar it's not anymore difficult than a bolt on one. At least if you use the PRS method. I reckon the Gibson mortise and tenon method it's way more difficult, and in my humble experience, i don't see any added advantages. Sucks about rouding the edges on that one mate! You still can solve it by planing it, but it'll be thinner...it's up to you.
  23. eddiewarlock
    i already ordered titebond... i am still in doubt whether to leave the neck as one piece or laminate it...
  24. eddiewarlock
    how much is the radius you put on it? i was thinking of making one using a belt sander or a radial sander...
  25. eddiewarlock
    That's beautiful! I too want to make an S series shaped guitar. Sapelli really looks like mahogany, is there a way to differentiate it from mahogany??? damn.
