Bit of time to get back into it. Shaped the body with contours and rough sanded. Cut the headstock to close to desired shape and may finesse a bit before final sand. Fitted the locking nut so can start working on fretboard. Was going to fit some png ebony but not sure if something else would look better.

Looking really good!

Noice, very noice. Igor says it’s making him twitch. I told him to adjust his voltage down.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Looking good Tony.

A bit over a year but a bit more progress. Got some png ebony and made a fretboard for this build and another.
After slotting and gluing decided to put an inlay at 1st and 12th and no marker dots. After cutting and gluing in started radiusing the board and using super glue in the gaps and allowing to fill with sanding dust.
Then turned over and shaped the back of the neck.

Slow but very sure progress.
Some lovely work there.
Looking good! Nice work on the inlay

Nice work. Another nudge for me to tackle a scratch neck build.

Its easier than it seems, my first neck had me questioning every rasp stroke and took forever but wasn't as hard as i thought. Based on what you are already doing build wise it will be no biggie. I'm still cautious to try my first scarf joint neck.Originally Posted by dozymuppet
