My story

I have always loved music and a few years ago I took it to the next level by starting to play guitar.
As I have learned to play the guitar, I’ve found it to be my favorite instrument. As such, I have decided to make a guitar this winter as my senior project. This blog will be following my attempt.
I will post the steps I take, post photos and make comments regarding the process... And hopefully, I'll post about the finished guitar!"

Thanks for reading!

Finished the Binding, started the neck!

Binding is all done!
This has to be one of the easiest parts of building the guitar so far. Just need to wait a few days before I can scrape it level with the guitar.








 I had already put the truss rod in awhile ago so here is a shot of that.
And then I put the Rosewood overlay on the headstock.

Here are some photos of doing the bindings, rather simple really

Sorry for the weird angles but forgot to change before I uploaded.

 All done with the front! a few spots didn't stick, so re glued and taped

Routing the Binding and end trim

Hey! So, it's been awhile since I posted but I have been doing work.
I just routed the bindings a few days ago and it really turned out great! I was worried about doing it looking at jigs but ended up doing it free hand and it worked very well.











So, I got that done but before I can add the bindings I need to do the end trim...
Now I wanted to do something different, that had my own touch so here was my idea





Looked good so started getting the wood out.



Got it all carved out and ready to glue.




Now just need to wait 24 hours... lol gotta get it done :)
