On another note, I got to have a great experience talking in a local school about my build. It was at a career day for 7th and 8th graders. My youth paster, who talked me into this, opened up our 'closing act' talking about young business owners. I then talked about my build. It was a little weird, but fun none the less.
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!

Neck joint work.
Right now, I am working on getting the neck set perfectly to the body of the guitar. Hard to get it just right, and still a lot of wood to chisel away.

All about the neck
was pretty easy just glued it on clamped and then used the flush cut router to cut it.... flush lol.
Traced out the neck onto the fretboard and it looks good
clamped it on after cutting and sanding to make sure everything lines up.
Fit good, also I cut out a headstock design and cut it out and drilled out my peg holes although they are just a tad to small
Side inlays very easy
Shot of both the side and top inlays
cut out all the frets
practice on scrap and it went good
