before i did the rough cut i had to smooth the surface with a belt sander, it didn't ship completely flat

roughly shaped out with a jigsaw since i don't have a band saw

how long until you can build bespoke guitars for elite MABB clientele

I've been shadowing over a local luthier over the last year and have been building a 6 string multiscale baritone as my first project. This is the latest pic I have:

It's a fun although nerve wracking process at times, woodworking is something I had never done before and routers scare the piss out of me. Multilaminate neck
The pickup and electronics cavities have all been routed out, at this point I only have a few fuckups to fix (misaligned side dots, adding a little wedge of sapwood between the fretboard and neck humbucker, and a bit of blowout from routing them). Then we'll glue the set neck and do frets, stainless steel.

Slotting fret slots by hand with one of those was a pain in the ass, but had no other choice on a multiscale. There are jigs you can easily make that'll help you tremendously sawing in a straight line.
