…The world needs a wake up call…and were phoning it in…
End of Day 2
Day 2 – 10am till 6pm
Phil, Mark, Kevin, and Charlie are all on our course building their own custom guitars.
On day 1 we made drawings, chose wood, and firmed up the details… now the build really begins…
We also started the fretboards yesterday so all that was left to do was radius them before commencing work on the neck blanks. The priority for the first few days will be the neck.
We always begin by routing the truss rod slot, before cutting out the neck. Then the headstock is routed to thickness and the tuner holes are drilled. After that, Kevin and Charlie were ready to glue their fretboards on, which was their last job today..
Mark and Phil are making thru neck instruments so they have some extra jobs to do tomorrow before they can glue theirs. While the others were gluing their fretboards Phil jointed his Spalted Maple cap and Mark played around with the design for his 12th fret inlay…more tomorrow!
