Hello starving luthiers ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Like the title says, I'm going to a 5 day 09.00-17.00 luthiershool this summer.
And as an educated furniture maker (highschool) I find it as a big challenge.
Well it has been 7 years with no woodworking at all so I need to refresh
my memory a bit to do a calculation if it's possible to do it.
I already got the templates for body, neck, headstock, pickup cavities etc.
I'm going to buy the woods in a week or so.
So on with the questions:
1. In which order should i build the guitar? body or neck first?
2. What is the glueing time for body+top, 5piece neck
3. What takes most time? neck-thru or bolt-on?
4. If you would do a 5 days guitar build how would u plan it out?
The build:
Model: Blackmachine copy
Strings: 6
Scale: 25.5"
Frets: 24 Jumbo Sainless Steel
Neck: 5-piece wenge/bubinga
Fretboard: Ebony
Body: African Mahogany
Top: Figured wood or ebony veneer
Binding: Black or white (havn't decided)
Pickups: BKP Juggernauts (gold tyger)
Bridge: Hipshot hardtail bridge
Tuners: Hipshot locking tuners
All answers is welcome!
