nice job and well documented. Something to be proud of
l’ve built quite a few neck through guitars, but never a bolt on.

Thanks for the great documentation of your project. Absolutely stunning and super impressive. What talent!
Personally I can do adjustments on my instruments, solder electronics and so on. But wood work and laquer, frets etc. are different kind of animal. Nothing for me. But looking at your project nakedzen is really super inspiring. Thanks for sharing this
Thanks guys! Not much talent needed to be honest! How I proceeded with the build was do maybe one or two things a day that I've studied before hand (youtube, build forums/fb groups) and have a good idea of what I'm going to do. And hide any mistakes with glue/sawdust mix!
Basically almost anything you can fix in some way, usually involves CA glue. :p
Dye+oil finishes are real easy, just rub them on with a old t-shirt and leave to dry. The router is the only thing that's scary to use!

Thanks man! Neck through sounds scary, bolt-ons are easy since you can mess the neck but still have the body.
Here's a quick brainless metal clip:
nakedzen glue and sawdust cures everything. If governments had thought to use it for COVID we might all be back gigging by now ?
Agreed!
The wrong cut on the pickguard was bothering me so I fixed it. Also finally received the Schaller pickup ring for it, so the guitar now has its final form. Woo.
Smoke show, great job, love that pickguard!!
I agree on the router. i had never used one until the walnut body, I posted in my message above, came in with the neck pocket too shallow. Between YouTube academy and hopefully my own common sense, it was not that difficult to use. It took 2 attempts the get the depth correct using a bit purchased from StewMac with a bearing to follow the contour. The second attempt was much easier to control the router, knowing how it reacted.
