Making the actual guitar neck and fret board is the real test ,if you want to make the whole thing .

It was a lockdown project purely to enhance my wood finishing skills. Parts were sourced on ebay, pretty cheap at around 150 quid all in, didn't make anything myself except stain and finish the neck and body. I wouldn't do it again, but will make one from scratch sometime in the future with better quality timber and parts now that I know what I'm doing.

You’re probably doing similar already.. but i would seriously consider pursuing this sort of thing professionally, failing that .. be a french polisher, or something like that.. who can repair and re-finish sentimental items for ppl ? ( just an idea )

This is excellent, quality workmanship.. are they for your own pleasure? Or do you sell? Would do well in retail!

Have stained and grained the body and neck, shaped the pick guard and laid the parts together to see what it looks like, pretty cool I think. Now I have to attach the neck and solder the pick ups and switches.

Fair play for answering. I think most cue makers don't hand plane from squares down now, maybe just Parris and J6. I don't think it makes any difference but it is a USP for some buyers. The resting you've done sounds spot on. I think Parris recommends 3 planings over 9mths, I could be wrong, the damn barley wine has affected the old cognitive today.

Nothing wrong with Barley wine!

Nice job vmax, didn't notice the gold filler until you mentioned it, that would make a unique cue indeed.

Gotta say I do love the way those Royal Blood lads get so much out of a bass guitar and drum kit. My kid tells me the guitar player uses several tuned bass guitars to get the required sound for each track! Jimmy page likes them so that's good enough for me!!

[vmax]

I think that gold grain filler on black stain is the bollocks, going to make a cue like that sometime

Get your stacka boots on Steve, and Kerrang some glam rock! Love it.
