Guitar for my son

[jhedlund58]

I made this for my son. And now, my daughter is taking lessons with it. Gosh, I never thought she would be motivated by this project. I have already told her that dad will make her one too.

Woodworking is a family project

Really nice Jeff. I like the clean look. Did you do the neck also? Cut frets with the bot?

[jhedlund58]

Made body, neck and fret board on bot. Neck was harder than fret board to make. The neck back tapers from body to the head stock. I got dimensions for taper from stewmac Spent many hours with aspire. the hardest part about fret board was waiting two weeks for the .023 bit from McMaster-carr simply a .25 thick board with a 12 radius arch cut out from portions of vectors used for neck. From the fret arch dimensions, I made the reverse for a sanding block to sand both the fretboard and frets after they were installed.
