Let me think on it...I might be able to come up with a way to do a 10" radius...

...I'll hit the woodworking books this weekend...

This will be my guide for the headstock. I've always like this one.

And beginning the nut.

Reported! cop0

I guess I'll be guilty of infringing on Gibson for stealing the headstock design, too.
Good thing I'm labeling it "FUCK YOU IN YOUR MEATHEAD FUCKING FACE" eh?

Plus, that deer was killed with a gun.
And we drank whiskey after!

I need to go hunting with Phil.

you know it.

 

[jelloman]

Phil hunts without a gun...

 

[Phil513]

shhhh we call them boom sticks now.

 

[jelloman]

Oops...

Phil hunts without an expanding gas projectile device...

 

[Phil513]

Incorrect. Phil has various and sundry expanding gas projectile devices residing under his bed as we speak.

 

[jelloman]

I keep my expanding gas projectile discharging devices in a special locking cabinet...

As should i.

We just finished cleaning the fire sticks so we can go make noise tomorrow.

Here is what I'm gonna do with the neck. The walnut base that gets the truss rod and so forth topped with a thin maple board that bends over the headstock angle. Then, the rosewood board on top of that.

 

[Phil513]

That looks a lot like math.

 

[Elias Graves]

Nah. I guessed on all of it.

The last 2 guitars that I had re-fretted, I opted or the glued in frets.
The slots are cut slightly bigger and of course, frets are pressed and glued.

The fret job came out way better than any of the dozen or so others that I've had done.

About to have a 63 Guild re-fretted and love the glued in method well enough that I will have this one done the same way.

Just throwin it out there in case this might work for you...

Thus far had a 68 Gibson L5 and a 80 Ibanez GB10 done this way.
Of course both have rosewood fretboards but hey, maybe it will work on hard woods? ? ?
