Wilborn Guitar Attempt

[scamp]

Finished shaping and drilling the headstock this morning.
Dodged a bullet.
Had some chip out on one of the drill holes but small enough so tuners will cover it.
Luck beats skill every time.

Finished sanding the sides of the body as a prep to rout the binding channels.
Bent the bindings for the headstock in prep to rout and install them as well.
Took out my binding router and under close examination luckily found that one of the blades was chipped.
Thank god I didn't try and use it.
Talked to Stewmac and to their credit they are sending me a new one at no charge.
No idea what happened. Only used it to build two guitars and always kept it clean and stored properly.
Oh well.
Also glued up two pieces of ebony to make the sound hole surround.

Routed the headstock and glued in the bindings
Not easy to get the miters right but I'm reasonably happy with it given it's my first attempt at a bond headstock ( especially with the curves etc. )

Love the subtle binding color, very tasteful. It should look stunning with a finish. Nice work!

[Kevin Sjostrand]

You're doing a fine job. The headstock looks great
Those miters can try a man's patience.
