got all the machining done on my guitar body project today, so here's a picture of it with a hardware mockup! still a lot of work to do by hand, and the neck will be a whole different adventure, but progress is progress. #luthierie #telecaster #guitarmaking

I've finally modeled a decent headstock transition after literal years of trying, the accomplishment is super cathartic. I haven't made a new guitar in years but now I'm finally looking forward to it again ​​ #luthierie #3dmodeling #guitarmaking

I finally deactivated Instagram yesterday after The Spectacle, so I need a lot of new people to follow here and on rss etc. Who’s making content about building guitars? Are there communities, publications, forums or whatever I should read? (I already follow @michael who is excellent) #luthier #guitarmaking

I'm really happy with how this turned out, and can't wait to play it more.

New builds coming soon, I hope.

Bah. Two screw heads sheered off, managed to drill out the first screw, but it's happened again, and my tiny Dremmel drill bits are all broken. Thankfully the mess is still covered by the machine head when it's in place, but I'm a bit stuck now until I order more drill bits.

Botheration.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

When completed, it will be a 28.5” scale 6-string baritone, featuring a 5-piece maple neck, Macassar ebony fretboard, 2-pc mahogany body with flamed claro walnut book-matched top and headstock plate.
