    Heres an update ,I have got alot done and made some mistakes to learn by. I guess thats what the first build is all about. I think its because you get exited and want to move forward too fast. anyways here is where I am at right now. Fret board is inlaid, radiused, fretted and bound with maple. Notice the pickup ring made from padauk. I made some knobs with the Yellow heart and Padauk And a truss rod cover The whole neck

    I bought a couple of blanks from you ,one is almost done and the other is waiting for the next build. You have some good deals on some good wood. I will miss buying from you.

    The one I am working on the padauk dust got in the poplar grain so now it is a little reddish but I havent tried cleaning it up yet because I still have some work to do.

    Do you realize that Wes is a mod here and he has to read all this crap? Your getting off to a bad start here.

    More info is needed, what do you mean it just fell off?

    I second that vote, because I could not read that last post of his, its all blurred together.

    I am working on a flame themed guitar right now and your making it hard not to steal your designs for my fret board , just kidding I just finished up my design.

    Looking good.

    Thanks I was just in my shop looking at it and realized my pickup is going to cover that really bad spot. So maybe I will just go ahead with the way it is.

    Freehand thats why its uneven, but after redoing 3 times I have pretty good control over it now.

    Well I routed and epoxied 3 times. The first one I ended up sanding down to far (completely in some spots). The next one was too dark, it was black and looked like magic marker. Then I got the color right on the third, I barely put in any powder and it looked like tea it is actually transparent and you can see through it. Some of the lines got wider in spots but I think I can follow a line better with my router now( a little too late). I am thinking if I route another line with a smaller bit I can even the line out. You guys have any suggestions? There is also a couple spots where there should be a little piece of the poplar showing between the flames that I just filled with epoxy but I might inlay the poplar back in those spots. Body with lines epoxied

    Wow HuntinDoug, That is nice I want to make my own but looking at yours makes me want one.

    I havent really found a wide selection of precuts, they are all your basic selection. So I am now moving on to cutting my own.
  19. pmarlin
    You need to draw the plans out for the entire guitar. You need all the measurements to work together before you make your first cut.

    I bought a gents saw from Woodcraft this weekend but when I got home and compared it the the slots on a preslotted board it was a little bigger(probably would still work) but I ordered the stew mac setup.

    Here is the plans for the body template http://www.guitarplansunlimited.com/Body%20Templates.htm

    When I saw this thread I started kicking myself for ordering the miter box and saw from Stew Mac this weekend, but it looks like I made a good choice.

    Awesome, just in time for my birthday.
  24. pmarlin
    I tried to google those things Perry has but no results, I am guessing custom built?
  25. pmarlin
    Im guessing the climate change had something to do with it. I bought some off ebay and when they got here they were fine. I put them out in my shop and the next day they were cupped but after a week they flattened back out.
