Michael Winston Dales Guitars: Blog

I've learned a lot from other guitar builders over the years, and so this blog is a way for me to share my own build experiences and hopefully let others learn from my success and mistakes!

Catch-up notes: Taking it to the bridge

1 Jul 2021 -

An in-progress pointy-offset style guitar build sits on the workbench surrounded by bags of parts. The neck, which maple with a purpleheart fretboard, is mostly completed but un-oiled, and the body is shaped and sanded, but is yet to have holes put in it for pickups and controls. On top of the body sit a bunch of parts placed to give an idea of how it'll look when finished.

Taking stock as I move workshop yet again, and getting back into the swing of things by making a lot of dust as I flesh out the body for my Corvette build.
