Guitar School Adventures Episode 4: Find the center line.

4 weeks down, 4 weeks to go. This week was all about the necks. Cutting out the bulk, sanding, shaping, gluing. By Friday our necks were finally united with our bodies. Some mistakes were made, but nothing that was of any concern. Ive been thinking as I use more and more tools how I could apply these tools to my cigarbox building. Ive decided that a dremel and one of the dremel router bases Stewmac sells. I have so many applications for it. From inlays to F-holes I would have a field day! Repairs are key to starting any guitar business. A fact that was demonstrated by Bryan with another round of lectures. He finished the neck set and then decided to fix one of the other student's "drunken casualty" guitar. This guitar was an original Taylor that was smashed. A huge crack ripped around the rosewood sides. Bryan glued it back together. Humpty Dumpty wasnt pretty but he sure as hell was back together again. We returned to our necks and started carving them out. A process that was equally terrifying and fun at the same time. Starting to miss my family and friends back home. Living in a house without Wifi has made me appreciate personal interaction and sharpened my mind a bit. Its funny how much our minds get drawn into technology. (as I sit in a coffee shop with wifi posting a blog to social medias with spotify blasting "Cabo Wabo" by Van Hagar in my ear) We're supposed to be in the spray room by the end of next week, only time will tell! -G
