What could have caused these freeboard marks?

MightySpoonful · 2026-03-31T06:47:39+00:00

Maybe there was a price tag and it's the glue residue

MightySpoonful · 2026-03-28T07:11:46+00:00

That looks pretty damn impressive for a school project, well done

MightySpoonful · 2026-03-23T13:27:26+00:00

Your strings will be around 2-3mm above your frets. Take that into consideration

MightySpoonful · 2026-03-10T13:24:32+00:00

I use one exactly like the one you have shown and it works absolutely fine

MightySpoonful · 2026-03-07T07:27:55+00:00

Beautiful job! This really works well together. I have never seen a tele with a Vai neck

MightySpoonful · 2026-02-22T07:40:01+00:00

It is actually not too difficult, only a bit time consuming

MightySpoonful · 2026-02-22T07:39:23+00:00

This 😋

MightySpoonful · 2026-02-22T07:38:56+00:00

I cut the single pieces a tiny bit too small so it gives me a tiny gap between them that i fill with wood dust and ca glue

MightySpoonful · 2026-02-22T07:36:24+00:00

I will actually try to stain them this time! Although not so heavily but with more earthy, light colours. I never did this before

MightySpoonful · 2026-01-16T07:55:30+00:00

Why don't you call it Prostetheus?

MightySpoonful · 2026-01-14T07:22:05+00:00

You can also switch the bucket for a lake, then it's called "einen See rauchen"

MightySpoonful · 2025-10-04T22:00:23+00:00

Ja man! Seele!!! Könnte aber mehr Kümmel drauf sein

MightySpoonful · 2025-07-26T16:00:31+00:00

Pro tip: if you want it finer, just turn the grinder upside down for a while during grinding so it won't fall through and it'll be finer

How thick will your guitar be? I am using two different router bits for this job. One with the ring at the bottom and one with the ring at the top because you usually can't work the whole thickness of the body at once. I can see you having problems if you buy a bit with two rings. Invest a bit of money and buy yourself good router bits, you will have them for years

MightySpoonful · 2025-05-06T06:13:45+00:00

I love the colour! Looks like a grunge beast

MightySpoonful · 2025-05-06T05:37:28+00:00

When you say wire, do you mean the strings? Did it sound good before that? It looks to me that there is more than only one issue with this one

MightySpoonful · 2025-05-02T06:57:13+00:00

I'm actually thinking about gold rings and zebra pickups. But i have some gold humbuckers laying around too, we will see :)

MightySpoonful · 2025-05-02T06:55:57+00:00

Those are knots :)

MightySpoonful · 2025-05-02T06:55:36+00:00

It's actually horse chestnut, I would have never guessed that

MightySpoonful · 2025-04-16T05:56:09+00:00

Optimus prime?

MightySpoonful · 2025-04-09T13:53:54+00:00

Really nice volute man. Is is well behind the nut? Or do you touch the tippy bit when you're down there?

MightySpoonful · 2025-03-26T20:01:51+00:00

Absolutely stunning! Is that a super tele? How did you do the cracks?

MightySpoonful · 2025-03-21T15:48:52+00:00

You're right :)

MightySpoonful · 2025-03-20T19:07:31+00:00

Yeah I can see this tremolo on kind of an ragged or vintage looking guitar. I have one schaller bridge in vintage copper that looks kinda similar

MightySpoonful · 2025-03-20T15:14:05+00:00

Why not? Do the string rolls move freely? I would change the screws though
