I’ll tell you a fairy tale.

Once upon a time, the Pang Brothers made Bangkok Dangerous, a reall...

New Guitar Project: Les Paul Junior Build – Part Six

seantierney — Sat, 05 May 2012 02:22:00 GMT

We’re into the home stretch.

I drilled for the bridge posts and drilled a small hole from the lower post hole into the control cavity for the ground wire.

I routed for the pickup, making the cavity deeper than normal. That’s beca...

New Guitar Project: Les Paul Junior Build – Part Five

seantierney — Tue, 01 May 2012 02:20:00 GMT

We’re working on the neck.

Down at the heel end, I needed to figure out how thick the neck needed to be. On a Les Paul, where the neck joins the body, the fretboard should be right at the top. Like this:

New Guitar Project: Les Paul Junior Build – Part Four

It’s time to make a neck for this guitar. But there are a few things to take into consideration.

We’re cutting out the body, right?

I used a jigsaw to cut the excess wood away, and then attached a template to the body.

I screwed it down in a place where I would be routing the pickup cavity anyway.

I made the template from a f...

So now the body blank was ready to be routed.

I made a template for the neck pocket, or, if we want to use the correct woodworking term, mortise. I used 1/2″ plywood that I found next to the dumpster.

Guitar Build: Les Paul Junior – Part One

seantierney — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 01:22:00 GMT

I’ve spent some time recently trying to streamline my life, and one big part of that is trying to get rid of, or consolidate, a lot of the crap I have.

Way back when, when I was gainfully employed, I bought a lot of guitar parts, because I coul...

HKG-SEC: Done

seantierney — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 06:07:00 GMT

I’ve been too busy lately with a lot of things, and my blogging has suffered accordingly.

But I managed to finish this guitar (more or less) and so here it is.

Having gotten the neck done, I started on the finish of the guitar. The neck...

It Isn’t Just Movies

I’ve broadened my scope, or, in this instance, widened my ‘beaten zone’ (look it up).

For the first and hopefully last time, I review a K-pop CD.
