Thanks guys, the fretboard needs a redo. It is playable but not on all positions. Fretdressing will result in very small frets at the higer positions :nono: I deceided not to do this anymore and let the guitar go. A decent luthier can fix it, no doubt.

Is it completely finished? Nope lol

Is it completely finished? Nope... lol

Damn, have some problems with the bridge. I think I have to make a new one. I was thinking of buying a Hipshot 8 string in the meantime and make a new wooden bridge later. In 4 weeks my baby will be born so there's little time to build. I want to finish the guitar and play it. Where to buy...

Great playing. Cool to see you post here. I was searching youtube for some 8 string non metal playing and found your video's. Like this one as well. Keep it up man!

These knobs are the bomb. Audio knobs. I want to reproduce them. I only got 4 of them from a secondhand store.

First layers of clearcoat! It is a nitro celluloid laquer.

Zie hier: welkom op de gitaarbouwersmeeting site Today I did some touch up on the stain and cleaning up the binding. Tomorrow I'll put on the first layers of clear. I think the color will stand out quite nice. I still have to do some work on the shape of the neck though. I need some...

Thanks mate, 2nd week of june it's D-day. Finishing the guitar is quita a hassle. I have to get back into it. Since I don't have a workshop anymore I have to do it in my home and garden. I'm missing my great tools. Progress will be slow but I'm getting there. Somewher in October there's a...

It has been a while but here's a update. I've been busy working and preparing becomming a daddy :yesway: I've stained the top. It is a cherry kind of tone. I had this colour in mind for other projects but I've never used it so now is the time to do so.

Q Tuner in tha house!! This project is on hold for a short time.. Have to make an other guitar. I have some trouble with the natural binding. It won't work the way I want it. I'll get it down eventually.

Thank you, appreciate it! Finnaly I deceided which color I'll use. Someone said it is just like choosing pie when you,ve chosen one you'll like other pie as well. It is going to be something like this: This week I will try some dye to achieve the right tone. My design looks something like...

:wub: The input has to move.

Thanks man! I'm not quite sure yet. The top will be stained with a natural binding. The back and neck will be natural. Which colour for the top I have to deceide. I was thinking of black cherry, tobacco or the violin burst PRS uses. I find it hard to make up my mind. The black cherry is...

A push pull pot was my first idea but a switch works faster and easier. I've got some cool switches for it. I dunno yet. Edit: This is the switch.

I've ordered my Q Tuner! A BL-5 with 4 conductor wire in black. Yesterday I printed the drawing from their site and routed the cavity. Can't wait to install it. Maybe I'll add a coiltap switch on it. Don't know for sure because I like the clean look of the 2 knob config. Next up is...

I've done a lot of sanding the past days. Today I hammered in the frets. I have to save up for the pickup. It is gonna be a Q tuner BL5.

You need steam to loosen up the glue. A heat gun is not a very good idea. I once used a steam iron (for clothes) to loosen up a fretboard. It took me 2,5 hours to completely remove it.

Welcome Steven!

I've never done it myself but the steam method should work. Do you want to put an other neck on it? In this case you can saw it off and route a new tenon for it.
