Misc guitar projects
Submitted By: thunderroad

Description: My indoor hobby is building guitars. My skills are very modest, my woodworking tools even more so...but I love fooling with things like this. I can't really say I "build guitars" because I haven't built my own neck from scratch yet. Mainly I design, build and finish the bodies...and add electronics.
Tools / Materials: Go to the Boating Store

New project...starting with...First neck from scratch 		Figured there was no better time than the present to try it. Here are the pieces I'm gonna laminate together. Mahogany, Maple and Walnut. I cut them to a rough shape to speed up the process later.
Here they are glued and clamped. After removing the clamps I ran the top and headstock across the jointer.
Glued together

rough shaping 		Here it is after I added the wings to the headstock and rough shaped it. I used everything I could get my hands on. 60 grit paper, wood rasp, belt sander, file, etc. Still a little too thick, but I'm gonna take it slow. I forgot to take pics of the truss rod channel and truss rod. I can't exactly call it a neck from scratch as I'm gonna use a fretboard taken from a junk neck.

Front of the body 		This shows the area that was "carved" by the router and the soundhole. The bridge will be shortened later and it's all to end up kind of a amber color
This shows how the neck striping meets the body striping.
Neck joint

Face with one pickguard option 		This is a two-tiered pickguard, with the lower part being the control panel
This "pickguard" mirrors the soundhole cutout. The controls will be in the larger section at the bottom if I decide to use this one.
Face with the other pickguard option

Sandwich stripe 		There is a 1/4" wide strip of walnut between the top and bottom, just for some color.
