Rough cut. Never been great with a jigsaw.

Working on the contours of Strat Build #3, which I’m calling The Limelight, because it’s going to be modeled after the #guitar Alex Lifeson used on the iconic track of the same name. #Guitars #GuitarBuilding #Rush

Work in progress. Mini short scale tele bass with a bisonic pickup.

This guitar features a narra (New Guinea rosewood) back and sides with an Engelmann spruce top. It'll sing its first notes very soon.

I'm excited to resume work on this guitar, which features a beautiful set of bubinga (there's an inner layer of cherry on the sides). With the top now attached, it rings like a bell.

Getting ready to stain the body and neck, I want it as blue as it can get and with black hardware

So the good news is it’s all together and making noise. Bad news it’s not making the right noise. Suspect an earth short somewhere and somehow I have two volumes and no tone.

Sometimes that cheap neck you buy to see if is any good just takes a lot of work. Hopefully a bit more work will get it playing well. The fret ends were terrible. #guitar #guitarbuilding

Always great to get the neck pocket out of the way. Router game is getting better. Need to learn how to use a jigsaw properly next. #guitar #guitarbuilding

After two weeks of chasing fret buzz, making I’d worse, and so doing a full level and crown - it turned out to be a dodgy string. Fark! Some lessons hurt.

Guitar blanks 2 and 3 glued. A special treat our rescue dog who is scared of the shed came in and said hello. Such a brave girl. #guitar #guitarbuilding
