Can't wait to see how this comes out, and video logs are great.
Thanks for the tip! I thought of that once I had it done. I'll definitely be sanding it off before assembly. The headstock shape started out as two points (which you'll see in the next video) but I thought it looked too aggressive so I sanded them down into humps instead.
Finally finished up editing the second video.

Quickly learning that I'm not much for video production. Editing the video is taking longer than the actual guitar work!
Working on the finish on the body now and mostly done that. Hoping to have the next video ready this weekend!
cool, it's lookin good
I do like that head stock shape Brewhook, like you said leaving them pointy didn't seem quite right for the LP. Great work so far!
cool video again Brewhook, the neck is looking good. A tip you should pour your stain and poly into a small container so you don't contaminate the whole tin of stain and poly. Also you should be wearing gloves be best not to get poly and the stain on your fingers/hands.
Look forward to seeing the body stained ! Will the body be stained the same colour ?
That's a good point about using separate containers, I'll definitely be doing that from now on. I meant to mention in my voiceover about gloves as well. I usually wear them but I'm out and didn't want to wait until I could get to the store! The body is a different colour, a deep burgundy. I have the body stained and I'm doing the poly on it now!Quote:

Have a read on the poly tin it probably says avoid skin contact so if it does you should make getting gloves a priority. Resident luthier DB has drilled that into my brain !
Look forward to seeing the burgundy body !
Here's a little preview with the neck dry fitted into place. Still have some more poly to do, but very close to being done with the finish
