Can you do a video on how you set the adjustment for the router bit depth when you start? I am very interested in this type of duplicator. The videos just have the in process of the carving, or the bit on the router is up assuming for just checking the paths and alignment. But how do you know how far to set the router depth? Do you just set it at the highest flat peak on the original and then drop the bit depth till it just barely touches the copy?
@wkmetaal4 күн бұрын
Yes youre last three lines are exactly what I am doing. The routing is in around three dept stages. Then there will be 7mm over on the thinnest side, for the binding and sanding

Nice job! 👏🏻 Looks stunning! Love the ebony board/overlay and that you didn't have fret "nibs". They look great, but I prefer to have full fret width to avoid gaps/potential future issues. That burst is phenomenal and it sounded great as well!

Gibson DOES NOT USE SCARF JOINT on there necks. Gibson at one time used to carve I'm out of one piece of wood and now they use a scene seam machine that carbs them out of one piece of wood.

I bought these colors ( stains) at tlc guitar goods. tlcguitargoods.com in the Netherlands. The burst colors are. Burned yellow,Red baron, Dragons blood, Ancient amber. You better testing it on a piece of guitar body top, wood left over, bevore the real use.

I like the old style bridge where the threaded rod is screwed into the body until bottomed out. Then the thumb wheels, like the ‘59 had. I have a 2022 ‘50s standard that I did the Faber 3117 plus on, and I think it makes a difference. It got rid of the shrill sounding highs current Les Paul’s have, and seems more woody sounding.

Hi Freddy, First of all, thank you very much for your response. I am very honored to receive your comment. Your 12-part video series on youtube about the construction of a LP was the inspiration and advice source for me. I have viewed these frequently. Beautiful guitars you build there. I copied the duplicator you use there (I am a welder by profession) and also used it in my first LP construction. also seen on youtube. Next month I start my third build. Keep up the good work. with kind regards, WK The Netherlands.

Why a scarf joint? Seeing a joint on my neck would drive me crazy but that’s just my OCD
@wkmetaal7 ай бұрын
A scarf joint (imo) is the strongest method of angling the headstock. And the wood grains is in the same direction than the headstock.

@@thomascantasano7816 it's not negative it's just different. I have played them AB and for me I prefer the tonal difference of unchambered. This is just my personal opinion, but to me it sounds like a Les Paul but thinned out and watered down. I think they sound a lot closer to a hollow body but that may be a preference you like. 🤷🏻♂️
