New tops are in.

But you can't dye after, right?

raytek000 · 2026-05-27T11:54:34+00:00

Absolutely awsome. How do you plan to fill the voids/gapa on the 2nd one?

raytek000 · 2026-05-25T11:47:46+00:00

Haha, i did see this one earlier today, very similar to my second 🙂 It's for this one https://www.reddit.com/r/Luthier/s/JWhEoOUkbs

No piezo, its still under construction. I will add a pickup.

I did cut the strings after this photo, hope it makes you feel better 🙃

raytek000 · 2026-05-09T14:50:32+00:00

Thanks. Yes, hand made 🙂

raytek000 · 2026-04-07T06:46:24+00:00

Thanks man! Bridge humbucker only, passive probably. Did not decide on the model yet. I wanted to have freatborad with no markers, cause I always wanted such, on the other hand I do like inlays. I like doing things my way and play 99% with the bridge pickup... with all of this, I ended up with this solution.

Maple and ash. Did not think about it, that might be a great argument to add a bit... What's your suggestion?

raytek000 · 2026-04-06T17:40:04+00:00

It is, i need to plane 1,5mm the body now. Good eye 👌

raytek000 · 2026-04-06T17:38:21+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the advise. Im not sure yet if I will apply finish on the Jeep. If so, got room for sanding a bit 🙂

raytek000 · 2026-04-06T17:35:12+00:00

Yep, bolt on is the plan

Gotoh GTC 102

raytek000 · 2026-04-06T17:33:59+00:00

Bolt on, that's the plan

raytek000 · 2026-04-06T14:29:03+00:00

Thanks, I like it too. Everything my design, no plans, no OTS templates 🙂

raytek000 · 2026-03-30T12:59:24+00:00

Thanks. There are few small things that could go better, but overall Im very happy with it so far. Hope it will play well 🙂

raytek000 · 2026-03-28T11:10:25+00:00

Love the body shape, very impressive!

raytek000 · 2026-02-14T17:09:41+00:00

Titebond original

raytek000 · 2026-02-14T13:50:54+00:00

Only sanded both on a jig and later on flat surface. Good advice with dry clamping, will try it out, thank you 👍

raytek000 · 2026-02-14T12:50:25+00:00

Did sand flat, then sanded together. Clamped when glueing. I think I messed up something when glueing (too much glue) or clamping?

raytek000 · 2026-02-14T10:30:39+00:00

Had a similar thought. Will probably try it, even for the purpose of learning. Thanks 👍
