Step by step phototutorial by Ron Kirn on making a Stratocaster from lumber to courier.
Actually, I should have put a few more steps in that subject line. Ash, I never realised guitarbuilding was so intensive!

He does it the hard way. I just have a big black machine that I pour sawdust, beard clippings and old tin cans in one end and it pumps guitars out the other end.alanp wrote:http://www.ronkirn.com/tutorial/index.htm

Best hour I've wasted for quite a while. Recessing the neck and jack plates was really heart in the mouth stuff; brave man. The spruce body was an intriguing idea. Have you ever done that Ash? If so, what was it like?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I've done a kahikatea body or two, which has a lot in common with spruce and an Alaskan cedar/Nootka spruce body which isn't done yet. Those woods are generally warm and chimey.slowfingers wrote:The spruce body was an intriguing idea. Have you ever done that Ash? If so, what was it like?
