    rosewood is a natural accelerator of CA. I think is the oil on the wood. answer quickly, what is one of the things that gets glued instantly when using CA? your fingers! fingers packed with oils. lol instant reaction. very cool!

    this is gonna be a pretty guitar. I always wanted a P90 LP. waverly's? wow!!! awesome! expensive! not sure on the straight headstock... lets see some pictures man!

    do something about that 10th fret marker too. it'a a guitar, not a banjo or a mandolin.

    +1 +2

    all that and also a backache from that massive amount of wood and hardware.

    flame is not always perpendicular to the grain.

    that's it. I never bought premium or master grade stuff. hell, I pay less than 6 dollars a piece for my bracing wood (german spruce), and they come in various dimensions. sometimes some big pieces. I often resaw it for using as a mandolin, or uke top. I always get waay more than I paid for. so I got nothing bad to say about my supplier.

    I think that being new to guitar building you might not be aware that most bracing material is in fact leftover material that was not good enough, or not big enough for tops. that's why we often find knots, and runout in some pieces. braces are small, so even if the piece you got is not quartered, you can split it and then you'll have a perfect piece. well quartered and without runout.
  11. Hector
    split that and make your braces. everything will be just fine. and that is spruce.

    if you ordered spruce, then you got spruce. plane the wood, and the beauty shall be revealed. lol can you post a picture of the wood?

    super glue on my nuts? no way! lol. reminds me of the movie american pie. lol. seriously now, I would put just 2 drops on the bottom of the nut and 2 on the side, where it touches the fingerboard end. and yes, it will be strong enough.

    I think you can remove some wood of the underside of the neck, where it sits on the neck pocket, or your bridge will be too high. have you considered this? is this height correct? do you made drawings to see if this is right? and most necks do have a taper on it's thickness.

    "perhaps I could remove the saddle, fill it with some spare wood I have, and re route the slot for the saddle at a different angle.." go for it! been there, done that.

    I loooooove mahogany.

    your router should do the trick. many ways to do it. think about it. a very big part of being a luthier is resolving these kind of problems.

    I didn't know that warmoth had 24 inch scale necks. is that the scale length on that super-sonic squier?
  20. Hector
    I don't know what is that, but i do know that you should cut it now. seal the endgrain and leave it to dry.
  21. Hector
    are you using a neck angle on that prs copy? or the bridge doesn't require the neck to be angled
  22. Hector
    ok, so now we know a lot about the hardware and electronics in that guitar, but what about the woods? is the guitar built with solid woods? maybe plywood on the body. if it is solid, I think it's worth spending your time on it. I kinda like the shape of that guitar too.
  23. Hector
    maybe it's the picture, but the color in that mahogany looks weird. looks like ash or spruce.
  24. Hector
    i posted a question here, but I figured out how it works. is not a distortion switch, is just a switch for piezo/magnetic pickups. got it. nevermind this post. thanks
  25. Hector
    do you really need 2 truss rods? I think one would work just fine. maybe some carbon fiber reinforcement.
