Wow it has been a long time since I have updated this thread. I apologize for that. I have been crazy busy with our house remodel and working on some new jigs to make tuners buttons.
So since I last updated, finish has cured and been buffed. The frets then went into the wenge fretboard (without any issues I might add).
Then the top was prepped for the bridge and it went on.
Next was the slow part- figuring out how to make tuner buttons to fit Gotoh 510 tuners. Here is the jig I made to radius the outside of the buttons:
The jig is based on Burton LeGeyt's design.
And here are some sneak peaks of the finished guitar:
If you remember back to the beginning of this thread, I mentioned that this guitar is one that I wanted to try a whole host of new things on. Well, I am happy with every one of them. The last two that I added during the build being the tuner buttons and changing the type of oil finish I use on my bridges and fingerboard. I am very pleased with both of these in particular.
Hopefully I can find some time over the holiday weekend to take some final photos. Stay tuned and thanks for viewing.
