Thanks! I knew that I wanted an alligator for a resonator before I decided on a design for the guitar itself.

I installed the bolt and barrel nut that is used to attach the neck to the body, thinned the headstock, and glued the fretboard to the neck.

Another amazing build! I only took a peek into your videos yet! The one with your wife and the diamond ring at the start which is a really nice idea!
Thereā€™s so much interesting things to see! Iā€™d simply love to be beamed up there and pay you a visit, haha! - thank you so much for sharing this! Iā€™ll watch them all soon! :heart:

Thank you Dominique! We do enjoy finding opportunities to have Jen do cameoā€™s as the Long Suffering Wife. We even had a couple of our friends participate in one as part of the ā€˜Studio Audienceā€™.

I am getting close! In this video I create the headstock cover by shaping and binding it. After gluing it on to the headstock I add my logo and drill the tuner holes.

Another fascinating exposition of the work involved. Frustrating and rewarding: you could always say the K is for Klueless!

Wow, amazing! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Buying a new guitar is a nice and exciting adventure, but building your own one from scratch - thatā€™s a completely different level.
Iā€™m very impressed and like this thread a lot.
You really have awesome skills and craftsmanship :100:

Thanks for sharing your progress :sunflower:

Thanks Brina, you can add terrifying to the list as well. There are several tasks (anything involving a router, especially near the end increases my pucker factor.

Thanks Gunhild, Iā€™m glad that you have enjoyed the process.
