Thanks guys.
I have grainfilled the body. It will look a lot better when wet/ with finish. It makes it look a lot more pale when its dry like this.

I got some work done on the neck pocket template today, then went to transfer it to the final template, and realized i am out of 1/2" MDF. So i wont be able to do anything else until after i pick some up tomorrow.

I didn't even know that I needed an Explorer.

But, I need that Explorer.

Fantastic craftsmanship, can't wait to see the final guitar!

I don't like Gibsons Explorers at all. ESP's are TOO pointy. Yours? I just wanna have sex with it.

Thank you sir.
I was really close to gluing the neck in yesterday, but i got distracted reloading ammo.

Its too cold to do anything today. So probably tomorrow i will have more progress.

I did 100 rounds. It was already almost dark anyway, and i hate working in the garage when it gets dark.

Volute cleaned up, and neck glued in.
I really screwed up the side dots. Ash wont drill well because of its huge grain lines. It makes the bit wander. So that took 100$ off the value of it.

Why not make a side dot stencil that covers the whole guitar neck, clamp the stencil to the neck and drill it? It'll stop the bit walking as i'll have nowhere to walk.
