High End Build - this one is gonna take a while
mistermikev replied to avengers63's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
nothing like scoring some wood for celebrations! sometimes I go to the local lumber yard at lunch just to soak up the smells and sights and reset my inner self... wood therapy is the best therapy. inlay is coming along really nice. great work. -
Acworth Berlin repair and build

more flecky than bella fleck and the flecktones' first album... quote from Beck: "wholly beef cake pantyhose that's a lotta fleck!"... Shreck? "last time I saw that much fleck I was lookin at the stars during the intro to star trek!"... Richard Speck: "I'd stab someone in the neck for that much fleck"... in summary: "more handsome than Gregory Peck" (I could go on) -

Revisiting an old design
mistermikev replied to ShatnersBassoon's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
well if chasing low action is silly.... well then I don't want to be not silly? <1mm would be incredibly good... about as good as it gets. nice work. -
congrats on a well earned win.

so I have tons of these but the way I build them out is with hundreds of layers and so most of them would take some doing to render so... just thought I'd share a few that I haven't built out. Full size body/headstock trace of a few guitars I haven't seen elsewhere... thought they might be helpful to someone/somewhere. CarvinVS220 copy.pdf CharvelSurfcaster copy.pdf Ibanez_Sabre copy 2.pdf

i freq change my mind while a build evolves... and am faced with similar questions... wondering if I am straying farther from my initial vision or moving closer to something better. I've decided that as a rule I should never go one direction over another based only on perceived difficulty... because often times it is only more difficult in my head. Not sure if this has served me well or not, other than the fact that I don't end up regretting not having given enough to a build. some struggle with binding... and I certainly struggle with many things that others seem to find to be easy... but binding tight curves has come fairly easy for me... this headstock for instance, was a single piece of binding. All this is just to say: I believe you can do it.

"Fish On" Fretless Bass Project
mistermikev replied to mistermikev's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
I've sort of resolved myself to needing to build a prototype... one that can live or die w/o too much pain afa spensive wood... I try out all my stuff first on that one so that if it goes really south I can chalk it up to experience. so the oak one - I almost gave up on it a few times because the carve needed a lot of work and the top was thinner so I burned through it - hence the creative carve on the bottom edge. I've somehow managed a guitar despite an awful lot of "never done it before"... and it turns out it's gonna look pretty noice so I'm very lucky! thank you for noticing!
