Beautiful work on both of them! Stoked to see the final products!

Woah. That should turn out super cool.

Nice woods! Stoked to see this one come together!

Very nice man!

Very cool man. I was thinking about making one of those as well. how long did it take you to put that together?

Looking super cool man!

Should be cool! I can't see that being a hard decision at all. Bareknuckles all the way!

19.5 and 21. So basically like an Ibanez.

Wow, that looks incredible!

Shaped the neck today. Nice and thin. Starting out Getting there All done! Volute Niiice and thin

Looks awesome!

Had the nice camera out so I decided to take a few pics

Haha, it's actually not even mine. I wish. It's badass. It's my dads. It was sitting right there so I thought I might as well get a pic with it.

Been a little busy in this awesome place in the past week. Little family holiday. Got back last night and worked on this for about 11 hours today. Got the headstock binded. Bought the smallest chisel I could find and went to town. Learned the hard way to bind a headstock before attatching the fretboard. One small mistake turned into a couple hours of extra work. Neck pocket routed, this thing is going to have crazy access. I mean all the way up to 27 effortlessly. Insanely tight fit. It took me a couple minutes to get this in there and out of there haha. Armrest chamfer and body binding channel routed. I think I might retire my stewmac edge guide for binding channels and get some real router bits with the sized bearings. Just feel the results could be alot cleaner that way. Back chamfering This picture is full of awesome. That's it for today.

That top!

This should be a beautiful guitar!

This is going to come out awesome dude! Very similar to something I'm getting started soon.

So class!

Man this is going to come out so class.

Use double sided tape to attach a scrap of the proper thickness to your headstock. Sand it flush to the unrouted part and then reset your bit to finish the route. SR Why didn't I think of that? Probably cause it makes total sense. Thanks dude! This is what I will do!

Thanks guys! It really means alot on my first try!

Looks awesome!

Managed to route the binding channel so you can see a thin strip of maple beneath the binding. Turned out better than I expected. Started radiusing Dat inlay Headstock I made a little planning oopsie... Now sure how I'm going to route the binding channel from the fretboard to the corners on the headstock. I use a dremel 4000 with the stewmac router base/edge guide and the fretboard is higher than the headstock and the router base has nowhere to ride. If that makes any sense. Any ideas here? All I can think of is doing these parts with a chisel or free handing it with the dremel flex shaft attatchment. Both of which scare the hell out of me.... Haha.

Update! Inlay epoxied in Fretboard, meet neck blank Starting to look like a neck! Had a little bump in the road flush routing the neck blank to the fretboard size. Thankfully this came off clean and I could find the chip. Glued back on, can't even tell that it happened now. Fretboard binding started.

Coming together awesome!
