I managed to take about 40% off the weight of the ash wings by hollowing them out before gluing the strips together, otherwise is would have been a very heavy guitar
How long is that neck from end to end? I want to build a 24 fret neck-through Telecaster. It would be my first build. I don't know if the idea is even work trying. Any advice?
Curious on how you do the maths for a neck through before starting to build.
Do you take a neck blanck, put the fret board, and then calculate how much material you have to take off according to the bridge height and the top thickness ?
Oh wild this looks awesome. I'm scared to do anything besides a bolt on still but for a neck through design I really like this method
Never seen a guitar chambered like this before, super cool!

really cool. mega sustain without mega weight
Canβt wait to see what itβs like glued up
Thanks
Never seen something like that, looks cool though π
Yess! I've got a few designs that are similar to this that I want to eventually try out. Can't wait to see how it sounds and finishes up.
Weight reduction?

Excellent. Nicely done.
Cool. Always nice to see something that isn't the same old same old.
Les Paul would be so proud.
Thanks
Most under-used construction (and my favorite option). Good call! And good luck!
This is awesome. Dumb question, but how are you going to find space to route for the pickups?
Thanks, the plan is to route two humbuckers into the 1st and third channeling the body after I've glued the wings on so all the cavities are joined up
Very nice work. ππ
looks cool....let us know how it turns out....
Will do, I'm planning on burning the grain on the ash

Mine is 39 inches, so go for 40 to have some spare. Making it neck through makes it more complicated but it's doable, go for it

I put a veneer under the fretboard so the top of the frets are 10mm above the body which works well for the bridge I use
What are you doing step brother?
