Guitar 905 – Ready for fret dress

June 9, 2010

I’ve ordered a 3 degree reamer to properly set the bridge pins.  While waiting, I have shaped the nut and saddle and will dress (level) the frets, then install strings to do final setup adjustments.

I may have already mentioned this, but the neck is ready for setting.  Just a little more sanding of the body and a nice polish.

Well, the final steps are looming.  The neck is installed, the bridge is installed and the next step is to shape the saddle and nut and level the frets.

Guitar 1001 – All components in hand

June 8, 2010

All components to make Guitar 1001 have been secured.  There are a few design issues outstanding, and can be made later in the process.

Started with constructing the neck from the neck blank.  I will use a stacked heel and reverse attached headstock.  I glued and clamped then chanelled for the truss rod and the graphite support rods.
