Day 5 - Headstock and Body Plans

It's finally starting to look like a guitar!!!

Now doesn't that look sexy? I love hand drawn stuff, there's nothing like it! I eventually bandsawed that whole piece out. You have to see if the balance is right and if it fits before going too crazy on expensive wood.

Here's the neck in its current form laying on top of the plan for full effect... Hot!!

Like that headstock shape! All Little Sahara design baby!

End shot, look at how beautiful that grain is!

There's a 15 degree angle on the headstock.

And from the bottom...

So at this point, (sometime early April), real life kicked in. The dog blew out his ACL and had to get surgery. There goes all my guitar funds! Shit. Then a month later, I had to get some major foot surgery, so there's another setback. Now, however, I'm getting to the point where I can start working on it again. I've started building a fret spacing jig (I'll show you how I did that soon) and have just ordered a bunch of stuff from Stewart Macdonald to do the fingerboard and finish off the neck. Once the neck's done, it will be much easier to slam out the body. Can't wait! Stay tuned for more!
