It's been a loooooooong time...
Anyway, here are some progress updates:
The final neck made from 150yo walnut (after I made three prototype necks from pine):
And I bent some acrylic around my guitar...![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The bubbles are there because I bonded two pieces of acrylic together with acetone (was waaay cheaper than getting a piece of the right size) but when I put it in the oven to be able to bend it, the acetone threw those bubbles... at least that's my theory. Apart from that acetone works really well to "glue" (in reality it's more like welding) two pieces of acrylic together.
When I route the acrylic to size I might fill those bubbles with a paste of scrap acrylic dissolved in acetone. This makes (depending on the ratio) a quite viscous liquid which can be used to fill those gaps... I hope![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
