Carving the Top

Heres a picture of progress on the top

lots of work to do..

Can It Be?! A New Post?!

Hello everyone (or whoever actually reads this),

tonight i finally started gluing some wood together for my first build outside of school. Me and my dad glued together the top and back wedges. after this i'll need to carve both the inside and out to exact measurements. I took pictures but dont have the adapter so i'll upload them later. Heres a picture of what it will hopefully look like when its done.

the one on the left most likely. a few subtle differences but mostly like that.

Alright i give in

So i've been getting complaints about not writing in my blog anymore..alright alright. I took some pictures of some projects im currently working on, be it for a customer or myself.

On a non-guitar related note, everyone will be going out to utah pretty soon to visit the family. I cant wait, that should be a lot of fun.

1st: banjo for a customer getting its frets cleaned. 2nd: My old sg thats getting completely re-done, i actually just ripped the frets out today. 3rd: a picture i found from our "graduation ceremony" down in atlanta.

Tuesday/Wednesday

The past two days have been pretty hectic. I finally just got my guitar buffed and set up today, which was pretty exciting to finally be able to play it. My acoustic is coming along, i got the fingerboard glued on and should be able to finish it tomorrow and be able to start french polishing the next day. I have more pictures!

Shes almost done!

Work!Work!Work!

Its crunch time! i finally got my neck glued in, and im doing a lot of small tedious work to finish up my electric. I'll get more pictures up soon!

Sunday

Today we had off alllll day. It gets pretty boring when you dont go to the shop, and i decided i need a hair cut. Because its sunday everything was closed, so i had john work his magic...i got me a mohawk!!

p.s. Dont worry mom i'll cut it off eventually!!

Fri/Sat.

So its officially crunch time, everyone is really hustling to get their guitar perfect for graduation. The last coat of clear went onto my guitar today, and the top was glued onto the back and sides of my acoustic. Next week ill make the cuts for the neck joint, glue on the bridge and fingerboard and it'll be practically done. Pictures...
