Ive never seen or heard anything about this but is it possible to do a sunburst without showing the grain. This is probably a dumb question Ive just never seen this.

I mean the square vibrating ones vs the circular ones.

Not only for guitars, but in general woodworking, when would you use an orbital sander over a palm sander and vice versa

lookin good exactly what wood is that

Looks beautiful. Can't wait to see her complete

Thanks that makes sense

These are the guitar specs for a future build. I read Melvyn Hiscock's book and this looks like enough design info for me to get started builiding. Any tips, suggestions, etc are appreciated. • 25 ½ in. scale length • 21 Frets • 1 in. body-end neck depth (inlcuding ¼ in. fretboard) • 6/8 in. nut-end neck depth (including ¼ in. fretboard) • Modified telecaster body shape • Standard stratocaster bolt on neck join • No neck angle • Neck –Body Join at Fretwire between frets 16/17 • Gotoh Hardtrail bridge (11mm (.433 in) tall) • 1 ¾ in thick body • No head angle • Telecaster Head Shape • Poplar Body • Have not decided Neck/Fingerboard Wood • 1 lace bridge humbucker • volume control • “B” nut width • 1 Way adjustable truss rod (Adjust at head) • Controls mounted through wood (no pickguard) • Control cavity in back • No binding • contoured back • Dot Inlays • Light fretwire

What I meant was do the strings need to be specific spacings at specific parts of the guitar or does it not matter.

For my first build, Im planning on having one humbucker, a volume control, and a jack of course. Can anyone link me to any schematics or explain to me how this is done because I havent ever done any wiring jobs.

Im working on my first build and have a few (a shitload) of questions. Most pressingly, when choosing the bridge and nut, is there a formula or a way to calculate what the string spacings need to be or can I just freehand it?
