I hope the blanks glue together OK. You really need a lot more clamps to do it really well and get a lot of pressure over the whole area.
This is fully sick. I am loving how this is going.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Yes waz, one ive got a pitbull maple neck with an ebony fretboard the other im going to attempt to make my own out of some of the mahogany and i got a nice peice of bluegum to try a fretboard. I know Simon id already glued it up then realised the rest of my cramps were in the work trailer, seems to be all held together so far wont know till i start shaping

some gear turned up over the weekend, trussrod for the neck i got 2 it wasnt much dearer for 2 than 1, some mediun fret wire, and 2 dirty finger pickups, one for each guitar I'm thinking about only ane pickup and using a on/on switch to coil split just for something different.
watching with interest
