I really found your locking nut tips helpful but the ending of your video was the real treasure. Thanks for the reminder. 😊
PS: Sorry for the loss of your mother. My dad also died years ago and mom is now 92. Have to enjoy every day with her.
Hey thanks so much for the encouragement! I really appreciate it!
Great video. Can’t wait for the next one…
Thanks I appreciate it…I’ve got 100 videos or more loaded up if you want to follow the past builds!
I use locknuts on almost all my builds. When dealing with a Fender style neck, I just take it down with a Shinto rasp by hand - takes like 5 minutes. A fret pulling guard fits nicely in the bottom of the nut slots and can be used to check the nut slot height vs the fret plane. I typically shoot for nut slots at 0 to 0.5 mm above the fret plane. I find this works well for 24 fret necks with zero relief running 8's. If the nut needs shimming, I typically use shims cut from 0.3 mm thick brass sheet. For smaller amounts of shim, the aluminum from a soda or beer can typically clocks in at just 0.1 mm thickness. I typically install with CA glue only, and don't use the screws at all (front or back). If you set the action at the nut by setting the nut slots to the fret plane, you don't have to assemble the rest of the guitar. The neck will work with any body and bridge height, once you have the correct neck break angle.
really good idea for that jig!
This build is coming along great..!
Thanks Tarynn!
@@letsbuildaguitar9230 I’m normally not up this early, LOL I usually get up around 9am. I don’t know why I missed this video. I usually catch all of yours.
Great video and sorry to hear about your mother.
Thanks I appreciate that!
This build is even more interesting than I anticipated! Also for the electric guitar I might just buy the squier bullet strat HSS. I can't go wrong with fender but I'll just have to play without an amp for a month so I can save up money to buy a 10w one
Sounds like a good starting point my friend! They’re a decent beginning guitar!
@@letsbuildaguitar9230 thank you! I'm worried about Russia and Ukraine war though. Praying it stops and doesn't escalate
@@McAwesomeMcAwesome I agree!!! The Ripple effect of this could be devastating world wide! Praying with you brother!....I can't understand people who have such a power hunger that they are willing to see people die so they can have more! I don't believe this is about protecting Russian citizens in Ukraine...if it is then the media has fed us a warped version of what is taking place...which sometimes they do, but I don't think that's what's going on in this situation.
@@letsbuildaguitar9230 I doubt too that Putin is doing all of this just to protect other citizens I think he wants to expand their borders. Who knows all we are sure is innocent people are going to die
@@McAwesomeMcAwesome Absolutely Right! Pray against the dark forces of evil! Stay strong my friend! My mom just passed away from Alzheimers on Tuesday...One of the greatest blessings I've had was a mom who had Joy through darkness. I don't know if you've heard about Nightbirde (Social Media...Americas Got Talent)...she just died on Monday at age 31 from cancer, but her story and her life were absolutely amazing. She said she goes by Nightbirde because she heard birds singing in her trees at three in the morning and she was inspired to sing in the darkness....what a legacy! Check out the TH-cam videos...so encouraging even in the brokenness.
I would love to be the recipient of one of these guitars
