Building BlackDroïd 7V

[hufschmid]

i was shaping a neck today, and i used a method inspired by you i used my disc sander to knock the back of the neck off flat after i notched it to depth on the 1st and 15th fret, and knocked off the excess with my bandsaw. it worked perfectly, and really made shaping the neck a lot easier.

You know what, I'm scared to death to knock off the excess with a band saw

I only do that with a router because I know that if I do it on a bandsaw i will screw up and i have screwed it up in the past on the band saw

i always get confused when people talk about sand paper gauges, like when i listen two asian dudes chatting , but anyway, it's as brutal as always, can't wait to see it done man

lol what confuses you?

When I was in red wing, my teacher told me about 1200 grit sandpaper and that i must never listen to somebody who is using that grit because at that point its psychological preference

i had about 1/4 inch of excess, so i felt ok knocking it off with the bandsaw

its just an ultra sonic cleaner, we had one on the submarine i was on, though it was much larger, and built into the ship lol

So now its ready to accept the pickups also
I like it to be as clean as possible in there with clean solder joints...

String are now on, the best part of the entire process
I do not measure string height, I just slot and the string height is ok when Its right to me...

You wont believe the sustain... wait and see

As I'm sure a lot of people will say - that is absolutely bloody win

Looking good, but there's two thing that make me go

That string tree looks...out of place. maybe if it color matched a little with the rest of the black hardware it wouldn't look so funny. The second is the pic of the strings running over the nut. There seems to be a LOT of space from the edge of the board and the low string. Just something that i noticed and I've played a couple guitars with too much space at the edge of the fretboard and it bothers me.

Unless of course that's just a trick of the camera, making it look really far away. How about an aerial view just so I can rest easy?

Thanks for the comment.

Indeed it looks big its a camera trick...
But i'm not a fan of edge strings at all myself but on your guitar I will set it up to be close to the edge if you wish, everything is possible, its just basic set up

The string retainer is homemade from solid brass and I will not paint it black. Actually the paint they put on string retainers is a totally different process and it is not simply painted black sorry....
