It's moving right along. I sanded the fingerboard to 1,000 grit before installing the frets. This solid walnut neck is really going to look cool. I used a strip from the same board for the truss rod fillet. It almost disappears. I really like working with the walnut for building the neck. It's...

Aspercreme is Your friend. Really.

I had some time last night to radius the neck, and cut the fret slots. The tools I use for fretting are neither elaborate, or expensive. Basically they are a straightedge, ruler, utility knife, home made radius block, and a small Japanese pull saw. After marking the slots on the neck, I scribe...

Ahh... The smell of corn starch in the morning. Smells like "Victory".

Yep

Ahhh... Now I understand. It's sort of a 'guitar Illuminati circle jerk' :eek::facepalm::eatpopcorn:

I just cruised it and looked at the pictures. Typical guitar pron. I wonder who actually buys these guitars at $50k or more.

C'mon Man! A couple of them even had pickups.:D I believe that was Satire

Some serious collector stuff here. The estimated values seem ridiculous on most of them. The Artistry of the Guitar - Day 1 - Guernsey's

Denied! That sucks, but the seller did the proper thing.

I worked on the Mose bass today. I cut the neck tapers, the head stock, and marked for the frets. It's time for the customary "first mock-up on the floor" My Daughter gigging with the birthday bass. :thumbs up:

I flipped a couple of Kramer's last year. A condor, and a baretta. The condor had a kahler, and the old baretta had an original FR. The same guy bought both.. He has about 15 of them.

I'm pretty sure you nailed it here. It's a small setback, and fixable. I'm done being bummed about it. Live, and Learn. It can go months without raining. I dig it here. At least when I get out of the city anyway. When I re-finished the guitar, I went back closer to what I had originally...

The finish cracked again.:facepalm: I tried to save it before by sanding it back about 75%, and re-coating. It looked good for a while, but the cracks resurfaced after about 10-11 days. This time I'm going back to bare wood. I wanted to keep the bevel carve clean, so I started with a sanding...

I got you some cheese for your spurious celebration, oh yeah bacon too.

dammit, I'd already converted to the new math, and was celebrating being 45 again.

You're trying too hard. Relax.
