Coffee is life!

Im really liking the pace of this build, it makes it very fun to watch xD eager to see if you can make the time or not =D

[@seasonedtoker]

don't let your CA bottles lay on its side, the glue will seep between the tip and the cap and will clog the darn thing. plus the cap is then harder to removr, too. happy 2016!

[@Stratocaster893]

Man this series is so much fun. I'm on the edge of my seat! Will he get it done by 5 o'clock?

[@Zantrop64]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! That 11th fret drives me crasy !!!

[@djordjeblaga7815]

You actually don't need to re-crown the frets, it works just as well with flat tops :) I didn't believe that myself until i saw it on my guitar teacher's guitar: A Gibson L6 Deluxe (from the 70's) with Flat frets. It plays really nice and intonates well.

[@djordjeblaga7815]

+getting better all the time I completely agree with you, but i do believe that a flat top is just as good as a perfectly round crown. Trust me, I've tried it ;) I have actually done that to one of my guitars, i leveled the frets and then left them as they were. I dont feel any sharp edges and it even plays better than before. I love that guitar as much as my other guitars. I don't know why the intonation is still correct, i don't know why it plays better. But it does and so i'm suggesting it ;) Happy new year!

+Das TIER Surely rounded (crowned) frets will be much kinder to the strings and less prone to getting notches worn in the edge. I would also imagine they would be much smoother when bending strings.

[@BigEdWo]

+Das TIER i have a gibson les paul from 1980 with flat frets too.

The shop portion of your website isn't working. It just loads a blank page.

[@marcuscarrozza732]

also I want to do the same neck . I want keep the black on the sides and back of the SG G400

[@marcuscarrozza732]

I have a Epiphone SG G400. it is ebony in color but I would like to take the paint of off the face of it and do a worn or a transparent type of look . can you give me any advice? and I was planning on using a heat gun to take the paint off before sanding

[@Dustin_JD]

The shop seems to be down on your website.

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Had a single line of bad code crop up, all fixed now, after much sweating and agro. Thanks for letting me know though.

[@sutorguitarsbytondewit6854]

why using a jumbofret for the zero fret, it is only making the strings higher, the strings and frets dont know they are at the last fret ( as far as they know there could be more after them ) and if there were more frets that fret was normal hight with the rest of them and would be dressed so it wouldnt rattle. I make most of my guitars with a zero fret and dont use thicker zero frets, trust me I am a shoemaker

[@dsnooz]

What exactly is the purpose of a zero fret ?

[@andrewhorochovic8781]

How many parts will there be total?

[@aquajew3000]

What size fret wire did you use

[@apinakapinastorba]

You make a guitar in the same amount of time I do a fretting job :3

[@GregsGarage]

Will our superhero make it in time???

[@QuarterFlip1]

Should have edited in a countdown timer!

[@jonm7865]

I thought you had to bend the fret wire otherwise it would pop out over time?

[@zoomosis]

I suspect that is true for guitars with radiused fretboards, but I believe this one is completely flat.
