Would of made sense if it was yesterday, i guess it's still the first over there?

Someone must be using one of this size on this forum! How do you find them for luthiery? What do you use it for? I would go to 20" if i could spare the cash, but the reason i am interested in a smaller machine is that it's cheaper and i need all the money i have for the new house (when we buy it, that is). 13" will do all of my guitar bodies, which fall short of 13" by a few mm, do all of my tops after bookmatching and will also do my neck stock after being jointed. In theory it sounds like it would be a very useful tool to have?

Acids in sweat eats away the lacquer, once that is gone you are putting the sweat and dirt into naked maple. Takes a bit of sanding to get rid of too..it's kinda like moisture stains in timber i guess.

JSX has tone to die for.

Cool project! Sounds like a fun thing to build, i have always wanted a travel / 3/4 guitar and i have a whole lot of scrap...Might be a little side project to get rid of some of the stuff. Looking forward to updates

After Lurking For So Long...
RGman replied to Doug 59's topic in Site Feedback, Issue Reporting and Test area
Nice guitars, love the timbers too! I actually missed out on one of your eBay auctions a while ago (QLD maple body blank, IIRC), totally forgot about it -
Yeah, alright. Just a little fun, take everything we have said with a grain of salt, Zeb. If you did make the neck, cool, looks like you did a pretty good job. If you didn't, thats cool too.
-
But you ordered the scrapers after you finished the neck? (which amazingly doesn't look all that new)
-
Wow, looking good!
-
What, did the timber appear out of your arse?
-
Like summer for you, like winter for me
-
Yeah I'm interested too, Also how go fretting your first neck? Where did you buy the fretboard? How did you shape it, was it difficult etc..

Cost more to build one buddy.
-
Check wires?
-
I did, maikman beat me to it! Those wiki plan's a fairly accurate if you get it printed correctly.

I wouldn't bother trading, the quality of your dk2 is much better. I have one too:

If i still had it! I will search the PC.

I used Humbrol for my RG (pictures of which some may remember, because i can't find them), worked really well and no thinning was necessary at all.
-
The shed. We have a massive shed, can fit a couple of boats and cars in there if it wasn't full of crap. The best place to play for me anyway.
-
I have some backwood that had some green hue to it, sanded out though.
-
Doesn't matter, if your making a one off you would want to build a guitar which was much better than you could buy off the shelf. Means no shortcuts. Plus, you will be addicted anyway after your first.
-
+1 to previous comments of build. Looks like a dinosaur..
-
There is two ways i have done it. Sanded final outline with an oscillating spindle sander. Made MDF template, sanded to correct shape with said sander, then used to route the body.
-
I don't have much money, and my other real EMG's are single coil; which I will probably use sometime on another guitar. Perhaps if I do a JEM with H/S/H. Could always swap out to real emg's at a later date anyway.

Excellent.
