I've been tinkering at this guitar building game for about five years now.
My progress has been slow, but very deliberate.
I've learned a lot about building guitars and the industry in general along the way, and I'd like to share some of that experience here.
I'll start with what's in the pipeline today, and then I'll cover some of the back story over time.
My necks with tiltback headstocks have a groove for access to the truss rod.
I have always felt that while tidy, it seemed a little unfinished leaving the hex-head visible.
With that in mind, I'm having Hipshot products fabricate a cover in shiny stainless steel to match the other hardware pieces they do for me.
Here is the CAD drawing, and I should have parts in hand late next week:
