Progress

I use a rotary sander to get the wood to the right thickness, so that’s where I start with making the cap and the fretboard, making sure they’re accurate.

So here is a picture of the cap for the latest build thicknessed and joined.

Happy with how it’s turning out, some beautiful grain in that wood.

Next to get a piece of Ebony for the fret board. This one was rough cut, but you can see the difference between how it looks at first and how it comes up once it’s been thickness sanded.

I’ve made my own ATC take on the Starcaster-style headstock for this build. This is the template, sitting alongside a quilted maple neck I made for another guitar. You can get an idea of how it will turn out.

Here it is sitting on the blank Quilted Maple bit of wood that will become the neck for the latest Starcaster-style ATC custom build.
