It's like, that tone smells GREAT!

Well I won't have to be too confused about somebody mistaking it for a Fender! That and I won't put fender on the headstock. lol

I think this is closest all except for the bridge. I think maybe we're all right! It's a mish mash. Looks like this except it may be a hardtail? I think I may change the bridge to more of a MUSTANG FULLY-ADJUSTABLE GUITAR BRIDGE. I don't really want to do a trem system.

I downloaded this template and it's obviously a fender. However I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is! It doesn't look like a Duo Sonic or a mustang. It's also got the reverse headstock. I just cannot figure it out! Does anyone have any ideas? I'm building it anyway because I wanted a short scale guitar since I'm selling a couple of mine. And I do like this design. Help!

NTD (New Tool Day!) OMG, I have been wanting one of these for the past year. I've been working with my planer and hand planers and I've had good results, but this is just going to be a game changer for me! Certainly, I've tried making sleds for the planer too, and it works - OK - as long as the sled doesn't start bowing HAHA. Anyway, I chose this one because it seems like the top of the line for jointers of this size and setup, and it is reviewed VERY highly! How much do you guys use jointers in your guitar-making? I am constantly finding myself needing perfectly square references and just in general! I'm excited. HAHA. Just wanted to see what others thought about these things! (BTW, I bought directly from Wahuda and saved myself like $40 if I would have bought from Amazon.)

I couldn't agree more my friend! I love that guitar. It's a little soft but with proper treatment it's gorgeous.

Thank you my friend! I get massive satisfaction out of saving pieces of wood from stupid things like fireplaces lol! I named my company samsara guitars because samsara refers to the cycle of life, birth death and rebirth. And also Sam is an acronym for my first middle and last name! Haha! I am especially pleased with the walnut. It is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly strong and it is already pretty flat and straight by virtue of what it was designed for, so it's kind of a no-brainer! I just think a body would be just awesome out of that gorgeous wood. Though it might have to be chambered for its weight! I think a take on George Harrison's Rosewood Telly would be really cool with that.

So I was gifted some very nice pieces of walnut flooring that is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect length and width for guitar necks. In the same pile, I was also given some pieces of cedar which, when glued together, I'll make a body out of. I have used cedar to make a guitar body before (Tele in photos), paired with an Oak neck, and it worked out great. I think Oak and Walnut are similar in strength and density and so I think weight - and this Cedar/Oak guitar is perfectly balanced. ...but we'll see. I'll give it a shot and see what happens — this guitar is for me anyway. Here are some photos for you, The floorboards were tongue and groove and that will be trimmed off, of course. Last photos are after running through my planer and before gluing. Of course, I have to joint the wood still, but just wanted to share my good luck in being gifted such nice wood! I love giving new life to materials (it's kind of my mission). I also included a photo of the aforementioned Cedar/Oak guitar for giggles. Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

Nope. I'm unfollowing. I've gotten when I needed from this. I'm going to take the chance, and will report to anybody that asks about my experience. Hope this helps somebody that's on the fence make a decision!

You are overthinking this. I can read English pretty well, and that is unequivocal. Good day.

This is why speculation is a waste of time. And there we go. That's what we call here in the states "A NO BRAINER".

I've been searching and searching and cannot find, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm interested in using router bushings with inlay templates. I don't have a C&C machine yet, and will make them in future, but until then......looking for a source to purchase online. Could be block, trapezoid, etc. I realize that a little clean up with chisels is necessary, but I want to have the lion's share done before that. I've tried very carefully making templates myself, but it's almost easier to draw, scribe and be careful with a dremel routing bit - though it's intense work. Looking to make this a little better and easier for myself. Any sources, suggestions welcome!!!

Well, we will see what they say. All of this is speculation until then.

talk about a win-win for customers! It kind of would be dumb NOT to get this if so. I just said screw it and straight up sent a message to customer service and am asking. I will report back!

But it stipulates "wear out" in the first screenshot. I would think that includes dulling

Unless I'm reading this wrong!!!!!

I think I may be OK! Now I just have to see whether getting the one from Germany makes sense for the long haul. Honestly, if Stew Mac will replace WHEN it gets dull, that may be the way to go. I believe that's the case.

DAMN. I may be screwed. I realized my table saw takes 10" blades! The one from Germany is basically 7" too. Ugh. I was paying attention to the arbor.

Very nice my friend. I think I like the more natural feel to it, and for people that like relic'd guitars, hell, this could be a good way HAHA.

Still 2x as much as this one from Germany. Only good thing is with the Stew Mac one is that you buy once and cry once.

Is there anyone here doing it? If so, what have your results been? I'm just curious. Thank you!

THANK YOU! I am going to order it, and I will let everyone here know. Even with shipping, it's more than 3x less than the Stew Mac one. I appreciate your help! This did NOT come up in all of my web searches.

Thank you! It is worth checking. Do you happen to remember the site/name of the blade maker?

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed, asked and answered! I am looking for an alternative for the Stew Mac Fret Slotting Table Saw Blade. Only because it costs $172 + shipping. There has to be SOMETHING on the market that similar? Hoping somebody here has figured something out. Please let me know!! I don't mind doing it by hand, but I'm at the point where I need to buy a new saw (Richlite REALLY dulls blades), and thought I would give it a try. Thank you!

Nothing is obvious to people that are fairly new at things BTW. This is why people ask questions. I have never heard of anyone talk about having to insulate wires and components to prevent grounding out on the faraday cage.
