A little more work

Here's the 12th fret graphic for Brett's Bell-A-Blaster. We machined the pearl because of the minute details. It's full of epoxy and glue right here.

Now it's had the fret slots widened, the fret wire cut, frets set, glued, trimmed and sanded. Just about to be glued to the neck.

Don sands and shapes a neck for one of the guitars. An SST, I think.

Countdown Update #6...

Some necks are fit to their bodies.

One SST will be the worlds first and last Bell-A-Blaster.

We surfaced about 10 headstocks last night. Next they get ears and then they can mate.

Here are some necks. I filed two fretboard edges last night. Wow. I know. Right?

Last night my wife told my two year old offspring she was cleaning the funk out of his toes.
This morning he asked me if I could "Peas get da fuk out da toes". "Hell yes", I said.

Countdown Update #5...

The Tonar 3D modeling is just about done. Looking damn good.

Here's an SST guitar with the neck fitted. We began shaping the necks for the show guitars yesterday, and will be attaching them to their bodies this coming week. It's all cake after that!

Latest Tonar Design...

Here's the Tonar with a few adjustments and some fantasy stuff that probably wont make production. It's a direct import from the 3D program Rhino into Illustrator, so the lines of the body are exact, but the neck and pups and stuff are not to scale.

In Law to the Rescue

I'm back in the guitar designing business. My father-in-law had a monitor he was going to trash, so I took it. Design CPU is up and running and I can return to changing the world.

Hopefully I'll be back in the shop by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'll post some Tonar designs soon.

Thanks, Chico!

Awe, man...

The CRT monitor I use for the 3D guitar buildin' blew up yesterday. What a metallic stench it left behind. I imagine I can get one on the cheap or even on the free.

Don's working away at the shop today making necks for the SST and JB models.

What's that beeping sound? Better go see...

Show Countdown Report #4

Well, not much happened tonight. I fretted two fingerboards. They are either for the JazzBlaster or the SST. That was nice. Four more to go. There's not much you can do at a geetar buildin' shop in two hours.

Right now I think I'll do some fanger pickin' on this here Martin.

Until next time...
