Possible SG Scratch Build:

[chilipeppermaniac]

Progress, Robert. I am wondering, why does the lower edge look like it has no bevels?

Also OMG a few more questions. Is it thicker than a regular SG? Like an LP thick?
And, did you build the neck and body as a Yamaha SG2000 would, where the neck runs the full length of the body? I don't see any seams where the neck is routed in the cavities or on the hand relief around the back.

I see that I believe my answer to question 3 of mine is YES, it is like a Yamaha SG, full length neck with body wings glued on.

Sept 11 writeup of yours.

Nope....

Plunge routed body with neck pressed in...tongue and groove...totally unique approach, as far as i know.

Robert, I know it is tongue and groove, but doesn't the striped parts of the neck go the full length?

Yes, but the Yamaha methodology was butt-glued.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

We are just about done with all the major operations.

Body "wings" have been slid into place (they are tongue and groove like the neck) and glued, fretboard is glued down, inlays are in place and the black headstock veneer has been applied.

Yup, I realize this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I was referring to the neck going the full length of the body NOT the method of mating the pieces the " Yamaha way"

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Also, am I just seeing things, or is this body thicker than a normal SG?

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

I am in complete understanding how the body and neck assembly came about, all except the rear contour/angle and fingerboard neck slab angle processes to get the proper break angle.

Yes.

I didn't want a shallow cavity. I can use long pots and Les Paul switch!!!!!

Neck angle was built into the neck spars.

I really screwed up today. I must have made a mistake in my measurements.

Im gonna put it on hold for a while. It will have to be plugged and re-drilled....

Ahh, BUT it CAN be made right again. Don't be dismayed.

In the carpentry world, I would likely just say my usual. " it's just wood" I can fix or make anything with wood.

Whatever happened to this neck-through SG build???

Let's just say its in some very capable hands right now...

 

[Inspector #20]

So, i used Wilkinson tuners on this build, only because i love the green keys.
