before the Christmas shutdown.
I have two guitars to complete before my Christmas shutdown. They are both PRS style guitars, both have Swamp Ash bodies, one will have a flame Maple cap, the other one will have and Ash cap that's kind of got a bit of quilt in it. Both the necks are one piece flamed Maple with rosewood fingerboards.

Whoever takes the other one is going to have a really unique guitar!
I have not made that style PRS guitar with that layout. I see no problem in making one as the neck and body are the same shape as the ones I'm making, it is only the control cavity and switch that are in a different place.

I've almost finished necks necks, apart from drilling the hole for the tuners. I've had to make new jigs for the rear cavity, as both the customers for these guitars wanted them very similar to PRS shape and positioning.
The customer who ordered the Swamp Ash special has cancel the order, unfortunately he's been made redundant. I will carry on and finish the guitar.
I've been quite lucky though the covid madness, only having a few orders cancelled, where are some of my trade customers I've had a lot of orders cancelled, plus not having many custom guitars being ordered.

I use a 19mm bullnose router a bit on the overhead pin router.
I have a jig with the three holes in that line up with where the knobs and switch are going to be, this jig is fitted to the back of the body. . I forgot to take a photo of the jig, I’ll post one tomorrow.
This is my overhead pin router that I made myself, obviously not the trend router that’s sitting in it.
To achieve the dish effect I use a small pin 6mm, the holes in the jig are 22mm. I set the cutter to the surface of the guitar, then set the router to cut 6mm deep. I cut down about 2mm at a time, as the pin is smaller then holes in the jig the dish affect I get will be bigger than the holes, about 36mm.
I use the same overhead router to cut the neck joint. I don't want the strings to run dead parallel to the body, so I set the jig to give me an angle of about .8 of a degree.
Both the necks on now glued in.

Both the PRS type guitars are finished.
The first one is a customer order and is sold, the second one as I mentioned is now going into stock.

Should have gone to Specsavers, I have just notice one of the MOP’s on the 12th fret is out of line, some very rude words were shouted.
Some one is going to get a real bargain when I put it in my next sale (more swearing and cursing) Oh well shit happens, move on.
