very unique build. i like it, nice work

Cutting out the body was a success. The next step will be getting the neck cut out. I'm not exactly sure when I'll be able to do that. Maybe this week or the next. That's where I stand though. Here is the body: My final neck dimensions: My final headstock design: Scarf joint tracing: Neck tracing: Here's a draft of what the final product should look like: Oh, and I'm not going to use the v plate, I will use ferrules.

Very cool idea but I'd also change the headstock.

alright cool thank you

its 2 humbuckers, 2 volumes, and a 3 way blade switch thanks for the help

Update: I was able to cut out the body today. Here it is: Body blank: Body thickness:

the black and creme is ftw

I forgot to mention that earlier. I am going to recess the TOM bridge.

I think it looks cool with the streaks but I am going to dye it black. In future builds I may leave the streaks.

The idea about extra credit isn't a bad idea. As for the wood, it's a two piece body blank but when I bought it the seller failed to mention that one of the pieces is about 2mm higher then the other one. I'm not mad or anything though, it's no big deal.

Revised neck dimensions:

I've run into a problem, the wood is too thick to cut with a jigsaw and is slightly uneven. I didn't know what to do at that point but a friend of mine suggested that I use the bandsaw at school which was a great idea. As for the planing I was going to hand plane the wood but I'm pretty sure the school has a thickness planer also. I am on good terms with the shop teacher because he also teaches Autocad and I had him last year. I'm hoping he'll let me do it. Anyways, here is what I've been up to in the meantime: My alder wood blank all glued together: The wiring diagram I am going to be using (tell me if there are any mistakes): Wood rasps for shaping the neck: The wood rasps were a great investment, they're really sharp and should have no problem shaping the neck. I only wish I had gotten them sooner when I was scalloping the neck on my other guitar. In addition to the rasps, I recently purchased a fret file which should be coming in the mail soon. My birthday is coming up in February and I'm sure I'll get some money so that I can get the rest of the materials. Here is a list of what I still need: Jack and jack cover Knobs Tune o matic bridge with either a flying V tail piece or top ferrules Pickups Pickup rings Pickguard Material for the control plate Tuners Nut Paint supplies Screws Side Dots 3 way switch An oil stone for leveling the frets

Nice looking curly maple neck blank: Curly maple grain shot: Ebony fretboard: Group shot of supplies: Body glued together:

I have been checking out this forum for awhile now and checking out some awesome builds. Here is my first. Here is what I'm going for: RR24 Style Guitar 2 piece alder body One piece set curly maple neck 24 fret ebony fretboard Non-beveled top 25.5" Scale Tune o matic bridge with either a flying V tail piece or ferrules (string through body) 13 degree headstock angle with scarf joint Custom headstock shape Body, neck and headstock painted solid black 2 Humbuckers 2 Volumes 3 way blade selector Zero degree neck angle Dot inlays Jumbo fretwire

really nice job on the guitar, looks great, but the fret dots are in the wrong places
