Have totally neglected posting guitar progress photos, so here are some. This is a prototype build, and I already know a few things I’ll do differently when I lock in the design, but it should be a fun #guitar.

Or an even better tip, don’t get Blake’s

Rest In Piss

I prefer to refer to them as The Ice Ice. It’s much closer to their role models in 1930s 🇩🇪

I retract my previous total. 1.94 was the digital but after the water dropped I could get to my stratus gauge it’s 2.17”

Got almost 2” at our place. 1.94" most of which was between 1am and 2:30

From the size of the fire it’d seem so. ATC offered to give him vectors to another airport but he decided to give it a shot even after hearing it was below minimums. Tragic and totally unnecessary.

Exfoliate for free? It clears out after the wind stops. 😂

In New Mexico we just call that “Spring”

Been working on adding CNC into my process, which is a bit like learning to build guitars all over again. I’m getting there. #guitar #woodworking #cnc

Apparently the trans folks were the only ones who knew what they were doing.

Thanks for a great show today Albuquerque! Had a great time.

Apparently this was a fairly young pilot with only a few hundred hours but he did one hell of a job after that engine seized.

If any NM locals are looking for something to do tomorrow, I got you.

Live music, custom guitars and guitar accessories with craft beer and food inside.

All ages welcome and best of all it’s free to attend.

There will also be a few raffles for guitars, pickups and such.

It’s the worm talking.

Latest build is in the books.

Limba, canarywood and two varieties of maple. Pickups are my own design. Chatgpt called this one Tone inspired, Artisan Crafted or TIAC. That’s the story and I’m sticking to it.

There is close to zero chance he wrote the second one himself.

A little custom P90 action today. This will go in the latest build. #luthier

#guitar update. Just waiting on some knobs. Body is limba with a canary top and headplate. Neck is maple, veneers and limba. Nitro finish fretboard, matte crystalac on headplate and body. Neck is polished with beeswax, orange oil and a little paste wax; smooth like butter.

Hitting the home stretch now. Just need to make pickups. #luthier #woodworking

A little peak into the shop this week. #woodworking #luthier

Unser and Western Trail

I25 Just north of Los Lunas was bad bad bad.

Flex the only power you have, or step aside.

Enjoy watching folks neck carving. Every one is different and we all end up with guitar shaped objects. I do 99% of my carving with a random orbit sander.

And 5. I think the number of songs is 5. 😂

River Inn?

A terrifying hole saw?
