cmatthes Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Probably tearing up your order sheet, Bubs!
velorush Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Mike's wife is probably misplacing your order sheet, Bubs! Fixed! "#0020? No, Mike, don't you remember, we agreed to skip the serial #0020 before we ever started the business... didn't we?"
bubs_42 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 She may have Mike ship it to me in pieces after he fninishes it.
Northfield Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 With a whole week (i think) without any weather interruptions, got back to the basics on the next few.
The Shark Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm certain that blonde is the "right" color. Damn...
RobB Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Sweet! A southpaw order or someone went with a reversed headstock. Very impressed by the quality of the hardwoods you’re using, Mike. Zooming in on the back shot reveals such a beautifully-grained slab o’ hog. That Vintage Natural maple top is sick, sick, sick..!
DBraz Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Very very nice. Absolutely loving the progress shots. Seeing the dust and raw product just makes me even more amazed at the finished article. At least what we have seen so far of the finished article!!
Jakeboy Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Agree 100% on the hardwood selection.....some of the hog shots show pretty wavy grain like my old Special has....Simply awesome in every way.
polara Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm certain that blonde is the "right" color. Damn...+1. I wonder how far into the numbers Mike is now? I think I was better at waiting for Christmas than i am at waiting for "Dear Rick, I've started building your guitar so let's talk details" day!
Ted Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Coming to this thread always brightens my day!!!!
tmsfo Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 What's the logic behind not routing the neck tenon until after the fingerboard is complete? Seems like the extra elevation would make things more difficult (relative to the top) and you'd risk damaging that lovely binding.

Seems like the extra elevation would make things more difficult (relative to the top) and you'd risk damaging that lovely binding.IIRC from the Hamer DVD, the fretboards are joined to the three piece neck prior to it even being a neck (just a roughly shaped neck at that point) and left to sit for several weeks to stabilize prior to neck finishing, etc. Given that is the practice, the routine for routing the tenon must always take into account the existence of the fretboard, bound or not..
