saw.. and planner.. and scraper.. use.. today i will make neck back framed maple neck..

hi.. this is my PRS clone woking.. i choose bolton neck.. and 24 fret & scaf joint.. scafneck joint is save wood & strong .. and easy . bye.. enjoy your making..

SonofaMesa.. good.. i want to see your project photo.. i make my new project walnut top & jelutong back.. and walnut neck + ebony fingerboard.. i like walnut.. beautifull color .. i use rocktron cameleon .. i think maple neck sound some cameleon EQ band width 0.7 ? but walnut sound some cameleon EQ band width 1.2 ~ 1.7 ? and maple is not stable wood, and not strong moisture.. korea is rainy weather this season.. so i change wood for strong moisture.. walnut is good wood for moisture.. ^^ and in maple splated maple is many than other wood.. it mean not strong for moisture.. but walnut is not splated. it is strong for moisture and wormy. i think maple is good for finish.. and good texture.. and hard.. but not stable.. but trusroad is solution for not stable.. and walnut dust smell is hot.. ^^ and maple is some cheap than walnut. so many company will use maple.. it is only my think... not rule..

Neck Shaping is not difficult.. only spokensave and sand paper, and scraper... i have router.. but not use for neck shaping.. neck shaping is really funny work.. enjoy making your guitar neck.. ^^

hi.. i think Ultra low Action is depend on String's swing.. in 12 fret high .. and 0 or end postion is low.. so.. perfect stright will allway have buzz.. this pic.. i think first ultra low action is depend on fretting status.. and low action is have limmit . because of pic's String's Swing.. english is not my language.. sorry..

hi.. it is dence than cedar, this combination like alder or swamp ash sound.. ^^ i'm in Seoul. (Hongjeadong), and my office is in CityHall near, Youngsan is more neer at my home.. 20minite. and my office 10minite .. ^^ and dongduchun is 1hours .. ye... your 2 friends in korea? and you live in USA?

hi.. in my local area mahogany or alder wood is rare.. so i select jelutong wood, it is easy & cheap wood. and soft, this pic is maple top (20~25mm thick) and back is jelutong.. jelutong is cheap.. but this combination is sweet sound than only maple body.. i expect maple & jelutong will great sound .. maple & soft wood make good sound.. what are you thick?

sandding method.. i cant speak english ,, sorry..

wow.. i think your first guitar is good.. birtheye maple is not easy than hard maple.. neck back working is need wood block & sandpapper. only wood block & sandpapper, if it is not birtheye's maple more easy.. if not birtheye's maple.. scrapper will good tool .. but birtheye's maple dont use scrapper.. good luck.. enjoy your worwoking ^^

wow.. Brian avata is so cool.. better than guitar making photo.. ^^

i try my wood for bench.. it is my first try on air dryed by human hips heat.. ^^ some time in my working room i dinner & drink.. my friends & my Wife.. this is my baby.. when she show wood .. she allway knock.. T_T wood is allway knock.. ^^ she self try.. i'm sorry for my baby.. when i go home allway eat dinner and go my working room.. and come back late night.. T_T

my current working.. my weekend working.. to be continue...

wow.. good.. you have good talent . my first making is failed... T_T do you live in Brazil? i know brazil have too many good wood.. mahogany, jakaranda, ... great work ...

i used maranti back.. maple top & maranti.. is it really bad sound? no!. break you mind.. cheap wood is will make bad sound.. i think lawan is better than low grade of honduras mahogany. i think all wood have uniqe property. all wood is not same.. lawan is too many variable wood.. light, hard, and cheap.. it is lawan.. top... i select this wood.. body blank is 7$. and i select this wood another more 20 blank.. it is winner ^^ and when i choose lawan . it really variable sound.. hard wood & soft wood & dedium wood... i think my choice is not bed.. and i think my selection is better than hondurian mahogany.. have nice weekend..

i get my maple from veneer company.. veneer company boss visit Canada 1 month.. 1 time.. he buy huge framed maple or figured maple.. veneer company allway use very good wood.. because veneer wood must be good quality.. and when slice cut wood and remain top size or body size wood.. some time wood have knot . this wood not use for veneer.. so if wood is big.. no use.. so i get big size maple.. and it cheap.. and it allway cutersawn.. if your location have veneer company.. use veneer company's wood.. it will best quality & low price.. in korea. nation area is too small .. so in my living area many veneer wood company.. small is not good but have some profit.. too easy for make internet line, area is small ^^ speed is fast 1 month Cable modem cost is 30$ ~ 40$ and speed is 300 ~ 800Kbyte/sec sorry my gossiping.. but soft maple is too many removing.. 2PC neck is not removed.. but 1 PC neck is too many removed.. T_T 2th maple neck is 1PC maple neck.. but too many remove.. so i wait long time.. for end of remove.. if i will try 2 ~ 3 PC and hard wood laminate.. will down grade for remove.. i think.. soft maple is not bed for neck.. but use laminated and laminated hard wood.. for adjust neck dense.. i 'am allway happy for my working.. it really funny work.. enjoy making your guitar.. ^^ bye..

hi.. last pic maple top thick is 25mm & back is red cedar.. hard & soft wood combination.. copy model is not really same size.. modifyed by me.. neck time i will copy real size of guitar.. original.. check String & pickup location & Brige ?, Scale Length, OK.. ^^ head is really comedy.. T_T my issue is no need guitar stand.. only hangup system.. hole is too big.. i will fill with epoxy and make hole more small... i think.. 1 perpect plan & 1 action isl good.. but it is not easy for begginer.. try { } catch { } finally { } System is really good.. but more labor is need , need long time.. Brian's profile's comment is really good.. have nice new starting week...
