Frank, I'm trying to imagine how veneering in and of itself on one surface across this narrow a span would cause this problem. There are thousands of guitars out there with veneered headstocks that aren't cupped. A wide span, like a table top, I could see it. I've had necks with headstock veneers gl...

Thanks, Matthew. It's French polish over Behlen's Rockhard Table Top Varnish. Seems to make a nice compromise with the hard varnish underlay, with a repairable top coat with the nice shellac sheen, although the Behlen's gives a very nice sheen in its own right. My customer loves the look of FP, but ...

Very nice, Allan. I got some of that EIR from Allied too. Like it very much. Here's an L-00 cutaway that I've been working on in fits and starts since last year,waiting for my customer to do the headstock inlay. It finally arrived a week ago, so it's nice to get this one going again. Glued the overl...

I lean towards minimal on my bending forms. Not as convenient as the Fox style, but I can bang one out in a an hour or so. I use 3/4" ply, or about 20 mm. I make them a bit wider than the stainless steel slats I use, plus the roof flashing I get at the hardware store is that width. I don't use a scr...

I have to disagree with my friend Hesh about pulling straight up. I've had prefer doing what seeaxe recommends, pinching with the cutters. I get less splitting doing it this way. By pinching under the frets a little bit at a time, the cutting edges of the cutter act as a wedge between the fret and t...
