I saw a thru neck build I think it was here but maybe not. but the guy pre drilled the wing for the hole to the control cavity and the hole for the bridge ground.

You can use a clear pick guard, then the wood shows thru.

Since you removing the fretboard anyway you might add 2 carbon fiber stiffening rods. I learned about them here from another poster, and while I have not used them yet in a neck. I have plans to use them in a neck thru project. 2 get the heel as strong as possible, and the neck shaped the way the gu...

Did you remove all of that with the router bit? Or did you remove the bulk with a forstner bit.

Not the one I remembered but close. although I would be worried about using the tuners for tension

Not a timely occurrence but while i have never done the back bow method I remember that it worked very well I think it was a stew mac repair video. I was impressed but, havin never done one myself all I can say is if I find the video I will post it.

Plus one on the tunomatic bridge can you use a jimmy clip or something simular to mute the strings after the bridge and after the nut? plus are you talking 70's classic rock distortion or high gain amp distortion? Because that type of gain magnifies all the bad stuff so that, what would not bother y...

Again nice work. love all your work to date.

Very nice work. did you use towels to keep it from sliding when you claimed it up or did you just hope for the best?

the tuners I like to use are the Gotoh 21:2 ratios and those are 99 dollars a set

Last guitar show I went to there was only one custom builder and he was priced so low I can not believe he built them they had to be from china. I can't get the wood and parts to build and sell for under $500.00, but his quality was pretty nice I have to admit. When I asked him how he could charge s...

Oops I forgot to add the picture . See that why I love this group Marcs idea is awesome.

I have been there many times.

oops posted but did not see that head stock had been cut off

Looks like a brass string retainer, holding strings against zero fret.

I love it really very cool. great work.

I had a friend who installed a 3rd pickup nearer the neck that sucked because it was way to boomy. he did not have any interest in putting one closer to the bridge because he had plenty of hi end. in the end he removed the 3rd pickup.
