My horror stories are just tooling-related as I still consider myself an amateur. I don't want to get up into the exotic (and therefore, more expensive) species until I get more practice in on the common species -- maple, mahogany, basswood, alder, of course. If I screw those up, they're at...

I haven't seen anyone who posts regularly here talk recently about 7s, let alone customizing a 7 neck. I'm working on my 3rd paddle neck, but those have all been 6ers. I don't play 7s; had one once, but sold it as it wasn't getting any use and I just couldn't get used to the string spacing (it...

"Milky Black with Dead Fish Eyes" sounds like a new death metal track.

Why not a Warbeast? ;)

Here's my build thread: https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/wm-baritone-neck-w-custom-body.40394/ Last time I saw Savatage was in 2001 on the final "Poets & Madmen" tour when Damond Jiniya and Jack Frost were in the band. Otherwise, it's been all TSO (and I was fortunate to see TSO before...

That sounds more like a delicious frozen cocktail. 🍹

Burninating the countywide.

It's been very difficult to remember the Bob Ross method throughout this project. :unsure:

To match the body, I applied the same proportionate mix of green dye to the surface. And this is where I've stopped. I might have time to work on it next week when I'm back up here. I have to go home to go back to work for a few days this coming week.

And sure enough, because of my daughter's separation anxiety, she's had to come down to the workshop every single time I'm downstairs. A fraction of a second of distraction and I got a bad tear out. :( The impact broke off that one point, which, thankfully, I found. I also found a few...

I don't remember if I posted about the body that I started almost a year and a half ago, but the baritone neck that I know I posted about recently is going on it. I started on it last March and as of December of '24, this is what it looks like: Mahogany body, quilt maple veneer, white...

I'm working on a baritone myself right now. Also, cool screen name! I can't wait for them to consider touring the USA again.

I probably should use one, but I always just use the tuner itself as the guide. "Test in production on the live server? Absolutely."

Another nice bonus of a Warmoth shipment during the summer: an empty box and biodegradable packing peanuts can capture the attention of a very bored 11-year-old! It's 94°F (34°C) with a perceived temp of 107°F (41°C), so there's no playing outside today.

I just noticed this tiny little bird's-eye inclusion near the scarf joint. I thought it was a dent at first, but it's perfectly smooth to the touch. And as I'm examining the rest of the maple, there are other little unique characteristics that are jumping into view. I love it!

Working on refining a 2x4 layout I tried on a previous project. I focused so strongly on trying to get the string path straight that the overall shape ended up looking too small for the rest of the guitar, like the shrunken-head ghost from "Beetlejuice." :ROFLMAO: Now here's hoping I don't...

Bari scale, tiltback maple w/ rosewood board. White pearloid Eye of Ra.
