last guitar . . .

Paul_C

I've detailed elsewhere my struggles with getting guitars built, so this is probably going to be the last guitar I make (unless I build myself a Tele), which is for a friend's 50th (he's going to be 52 in September).

I thought it might be of interest if I document my progress, and it might help keep me focused on getting it done, I'm hoping to get it finished this year . . .  

So here's the body with the neck pattern in place, I've routed the truss rod channel and glued the fingerboard on so my next task is to roughly cut out the neck and then rout it using the pattern.



Before anyone asks, I'm not taking any more orders

It's looking nice already @Paul_C ;

Yeah, that's a really nicely proportioned body & headstock combo

Are you not even gonna build any for yourself?

Paul_C

I've got two basses part built, but they've been like that for three or four years, and a neck to make for another friend which again I've been making very slow progress on, so my enthusiasm is pretty low

Maybe when I've got everything else out of the way I might do something, but other than a Tele I don't really think I can be bothered - I'm far more likely to sell off all the tools and turn the back room into something more useable.

That's a shame but I guess if the magic isn't there you can't force it.

Coool shape!
