I'm glad you posted these new pics. The first images made me wonder where you were going to put the pick-ups, the fretboard went so far into the body.
I thought, this will be the highest-playing guitar ever!

+nice

Got the wood bent for the head and didn't like the rosewood fretboard
with it. So made an Ebony one.
Guess I should order some tuners and bridge. 
Well it was a fun day in the shop. Hope everybody had a good one.

Greg I'm wondering the same thing....and I'm suppose to know! 


Thanks Mike.

 

 Well that hundred dollar bit did it's job.
I hated spending that much for it but what I hate more is not doing something right.
Even though a chip out could probably be covered by the tuner, I still know if it's there
and that just doesn't work for me. The cool thing is that there are two
different sized areas for the machine to fit in and this bit cuts them both at the same time.
 This has been a part of builds that needed to be fine tuned and I sure feel good about the results. Beautiful holes with no chip out. Trial fit and no issues. Alignment has to be. Not a very good photo but alignment is right on.

Da-Vinci tuners...love the look and quality.

One more milestone reached.

Lookin beautiful 

Cool.

I hate it when a tuner is misaligned.

It bugs me.




What kind of fancy bit? A Colt?


Are the stepped holes exclusive to the Davincis?


best,

Thank you Karyn.

Mike I couldn't copy a photo for some reason but here it is with info.

It sure is nice knowing that the hole is exactly has it is suppose to be and
won't be causing any issues....and such a nice clean precise one. I'm very picky
and the cost has been justified.

Cool,

I've never seen counter bored holes for tuners.

I'd want that bit too.


We are just finishing installing 180 bungs in our latest finish carpentry work and wanted good clean holes for that.

It makes the job seem more rewarding when you do it right.


Thanks for the link.



best regards,
