This is a quick peek into the process of making my Oakcaster #11 – a kind of prototype holly & oak concoction. It’s a catalogue of ‘slips and fixes’ this guitar but despite that, I’m liking it more and more the longer it takes. It’s going to be a keeper so I don’t mind the fixes. One you can see was where the template slipped while routing the neck pocket (with a new more powerful 1/2″ router) – leaving me needing to rout and fill an oversized slot and cut it again.
In addition you can see that the edge joins aren’t great (I struggled to accurately cut the reciprocal curves – and failed) but they were good enough to slam together and use anyway. I like the overall effect even if the execution isn’t perfect this time around.
The headstock was lacquered with Min Wax rubbing lacquer, done indoors in the comfort – and in controlled conditions. It worked out a lot better than previous tests with this finish so I’m encouraged to use it again in the same way.
I’m waiting for a black wrap-around bridge to arrive and I’ll then get on and finish this guitar and get playing
The pickups are currently a new Iron Gear ‘Steamhammer’ in the bridge and a Marlin twin rail (vintage 1980s pickup) in the neck – mainly for looks. I’ve no idea yet what that combination will work like!
