I make custom boutique guitars, into finance , into bitcoin, and I Love me a good conspiracy theory.
This neck just needs some frets and she’s done. Matter of fact, the whole guitar is ready for assembly after that! #luthier #guitar #guitarbuilding #nsfw #guitarporn
A new build getting close to finished, just needs some fretboard finish and frets.
Got the headstock veneer with the babel fish on and the neck rough carved . #luthier #guitar #guitarmaking #woodworking #inlay #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy
Neck inlay and frets installed, now in working on a babel fish inlay for the headstock veneer. #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #luthier #guitar #inlay
Working on the inlay in this hitchhikers guide to the galaxy build , love how Grok came out. I have a babel fish inlay yet to do on the headstock. #luthier #guitarbuilding #inlay #guitar
Fixing to do a little Inlay, this one is Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy Inspired. image
Been working on this Stewmac Dreadnought kit for a bit, accidentally purchased the glued in neck option instead of the bolt on one, lets say you better follow their directions exactly for that to go smoothly, it wasn’t easy but I finally have the neck angle correct image
This neck is nearly complete. From previous posts, I added a headstock veneer on the back side to hide the scarf joint. The benefit is it looks extra custom.
Here that recycled fretboard, transplanted onto a new neck. #luthier #guitarbuilder #guitarmaking image
When a neck warps but the fretboard is too pretty to scrap, ya gotta take it off, I do this with a simple clothing iron and a thin blade. image
Been working at this arm bevel , it’s really kicking my ass. Flame maple is NOT cooperative , bout got it licked though, little bit of glue fill and inlay and she’ll look nice. image

I’m selling this for $1600, but I want to be one of the first bitcoin friendly luthiers out there. So , $1450 if paid in bitcoin. #luthier #bitcoin #guitar #guitarporn image
What’s on your bench? Man I’m really screwing up this arm bevel. 3 times I’ve scraped off that maple veneer and it still ain’t right. 😔 . Perseverance! #woodworking #guitar image
