@@MixingGBP I cut the slots deep enough, so that the frets still fit after radiusing. Gaps will be filled with glue while fretting.

@@ArkesGuitars Ah, cool. Very nice build, btw. I am in the middle of my neck thru bass build and I have a neck blank and 2 wings. I think I want to cut the truss rod slot right now since everything on the neck is still square and stiff against bending. I noticed you did your slot after rough cutting the neck blank. No wrong way to build a bass I suppose, but just curious why you chose to do the truss rod slot after rough cutting the neck blank. Thx!

Just go for it. You will do mistakes and you’ll also correct them. You’re only shaping wood 😉.

I'm still gathering a few necessary tools in my Wood Shop. I have an idea to build a ported body out of Waterfall Bubinga with a Maple and Purple Heat neck with a Ebony fretboard. I might even try some inlay work on the fretboard. For now it's a future project that's going to require some thought and more research and nice sharp tools.😉

Hi, I used waterbased black stain by CLOU and finished it with Crimson Guitars - Guitar Finishing Oil. Thank you!

@@ArkesGuitars Thanks a lot buddy 👍🏽

Thank you!

Thanks! Yes, it’s titebond woodglue.

Again, thank you very much!

Thank you! Yeah, you need that tape anyway. So why not putting it on first. You’re quite amazing yourself!

Thanks!

Water based black stain by CLOU

@@ArkesGuitars Thanks my friend!!!

Thanks!

Hi! It was water based black stain by CLUE which available in almost every hardware store here in Germany.

@@ArkesGuitars thank you so much. I used crimson guitars stunning stain in black and it is terrible

@@WikWak yeah, i had a red und blue stunning stain as well and wasn’t too happy with the result. The finishing oil though is a must have.

@@ArkesGuitars Im glad im not the only one unhappy with those stains. I cannot find any information on "Clue" brand stains :( Do you know if they go by any other names outside of Germany?

Thanks man, makes me really glad.

Keep on doing that! Waiting for the new episode

Crimson guitars finishing oil.

It’s the music that makes us grim 😉

Of course!

Thanks. Actually, I’m not familiar with Dissection, but I will check them out.

Thanks

Thanks! I think the length of the blade is 20mm, but I have to check once I’m in the workshop. I will let you know.

Hey thanks. It’s 34“ - 35.5“

Well, I’ve done it both and can’t really see or hear the advantage of having masking tape over your trussrod.

@@ArkesGuitars Ok. I think people do it to eliminate the risk of the truss rod getting stuck or not working properly due to the glue.

@@LEGhellnah I see but I think it highly unlikely. Never experienced it myself.

@@ArkesGuitars Yeah. Many luthiers are paranoid I guess, but that's not always a bad thing lol. Also can't wait for part 2.

Thanks

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Thank you 👍

Thanks. Well, it depends on the kit guitar neck. If it’s already fretted then no. Otherwise yes. Cheers

Thanks. It‘s „Built Upon The Ruins Of An Empire“ by my band „DELIRIUM‘S DAWN“. open.spotify.com/track/7dbymzff4T9K9YZmfipBMt?si=KXjjepgkRbG4z5mm75d-9w

🤘

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you. Well, yeah. I had an Epiphone explorer from which I got many details. Although this clearly isn’t a Epiphone shaped explorer.

That’s awesome! Thanks!

Thank you very much! It’s water based stain. I mixed different shades of blue. And yes, it’s the crimson guitar penetrating oil, not the high build. I wanted a satin finish. Cheers

@@ArkesGuitars is there a specific brand of dye you would recommend?

Almost finished. It‘ll be the last part with a song playthrough at the end.
