Northfield Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 There are so many companies that rely on some fancy epoxy and suction to create the necks within a half a day or so and that just absolutely blows. I am letting my necks sit and adjust between each step of the process. It may take longer, but it needs to be done right, and will be worth the wait. Worked on tapering the necks this week. Normally I take my own action shots, but tonight my lovely wife captured one of the best pictures ever. I am not sure she will forgive me for ending up covered in saw dust anytime soon, but hey it was worth it to get the shot.

Feynman Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Wow - awesome shots. I'm excited and I haven't even ordered one.This is going to be great.
veatch Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Those rosewood boards look killer. I almost regret going with ebony. Almost.
soli'd Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 That first shot is killer. You can almost smell the sawdust from here
RobB Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 SO stoked. Your wife has a great eye for composition. The first photo is practically an action shot, it has motion.Almost wish I ordered crowns after seeing the fingerboard photo, but I must remain resolute and not stray from my love of dot neck pointys.The owners of the "first 48" (and subsequent orders) are going to be getting some bitchin'-assed guitars!
DBraz Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Looks great. Frankly I love the way the inlay crowns look perfectly straight. Some times some luthiers will end up with them installed on the wonk which never looks great. It all contributes to the perfect product. Love the jigs too. Rock on!
a.bandini Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Oh man. Mike, please keep posting some photos of these builds. I know you have lots of work to do, and taking and posting the photos comes at a cost, but I love looking at these, and anticipating my guitar from you. Thanks.
polara Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 How does a luthier have perfect fingernails? That's precision work there folks.
