Looks good!

Yeah I have been really lucky to fix the problems I had.I thouht I would have to buy a new nut and saddle.At some point I would like to cut my own nut .BTW I thought you were a pro those guitars look greatl

Interesting use of a coin as a truss rod cover.Magnets ?

Yes I do like it so I will leave it as it is

I shimmed the saddle that I had previously cut down too far added baking soda and super glue to the G,B and high E slots to correct the muting.Now it is much louder and the piezoelectric pick up works well.A successful exercise despite the mistakes which I was able to correct.

Ok guys,I shimmed the saddle and I think it cured the sitar like buzzing and string muting I noticed before.Now it is louder and rings better.I used a depth gauge to measure the saddle height on my Eli Dread which sounds great as a reference and sanded it down.I plugged it in and the piezoelectric p...

I noticed you took the time to make sure to cut the body in The proper Les Paul shape.Really nice guitars I imagine they go for at least 5 grand ,maybe 10 for the well heeled client.

Nice!

That is an interesting head stock design .Flame motif perhaps ?

Ok,I saw a YouTube vid where a guy cut a body buck and steamed the wood in some sort of pvc tube and forced the wood into the buck with a caul and let it dry.

Yeah !I used magnets to hold the wooden spheres on the base unit of my Admiral Vernon.

Pre dimensioned.

Flamed maple,cocobolo,ebony mahogany bubinga.

No replies?

I mean kiln dried, planed and reasonably smooth wood ready to use

Looking for a source of small quantities of exotic woods ,prefer US based.

I didn't like the squared off truss rod cover that came with my Ovation clone so I made another out if black plastic.Just for fun I added a mahogany embellishment. What do you think?

Yes I can still play it but the action. Is noticeably higher and I have to adjust my technique to prevent note flubbing that was not an issue before I changed the nut and saddle.

Cool!
