I know of a family who does Pie Night. Wednesday before Thanksgiving they just eat pie for dinner. Plenty of time to digest it and stuff yourself with turkey on Thursday.

I like that color as well. I got a cheap SG body for free from a friend so I've been doing some experimenting. This is what it looks like with "Pistashio" Krylon spray paint. I don't know if it's the exact shade you're looking for, but I kinda like it.

Assuming you mean the thickness at the heel (neck pocket), I'd make the maple slightly more than 3/4" so the total with the FB would be slightly over 1". However, this assumes that the bottom of the neck pocket is parallel (has no angle when compared) to the top, as in Fender guitars. I h...

I'm quite happy with how it plays. There are a couple of notes higher up the neck that are buzzy on the G (lowest) string, but other than that the frets play the notes they're supposed to, so I won't complain too much. For being my first attempt at a real-ish style neck I am very pleased.

Thanks for all the insights. Here is the finished product.

I acquired an SG body from a friend. He had sanded half the finish off and given up on the project. I sanded the rest of it down and got some practice spraying with a can of Krylon paint ("Pistashio"). Now I'm interested in making a neck for it. I have built a couple little guitars (a ciga...

I ended up buying a set of .010's and using strings 1-4, and it seems to be working out fairly well. I didn't think of using 2-5 though, and I might try that whenever I change the strings. As far as the fingerboard markers, I've been looking at this project more like a tiny guitar than a ukulele, an...

Here are a couple pictures pre-finish.

I've been lurking for quite some time and learning a lot about instrument building (for instance: the fact that anyone can just do it if they feel so inclined). I am currently working on my third guitar, which was somewhat inspired by a picture someone posted awhile back that he called the "Uku...
