Hope I'm not prying, but I find luthery stuff really interesting. I am on my first guitar and have the body all pretty much done. I made a neck(maple/mahogany/maple), and kinda messed it up too. But its my first one, and I thought I would have the most trouble putting the radius on the neck with spokeshaves and sandpaper, but that turned out the best. I just went ahead and purchased a neck. But, now I'm hung up on how to make the proper cuts into the neck to join it to the body. I'm not as experienced with wood as I would like to be, so I'll probably buy a milling machine for that job. I decided either to buy a prs or make my own. And for all the tools I have purchased(band saw, planer, drill press, router, table saw, spindle sander, jointer, jig saw, scroll saw, and many hand tools) and will purchase, I could probably have my own private stock instrument. But that prs would not mean as much to my future grandchildren or my son, thats what I tell myself anyway, and certainly won't mean as much to me. I too have kinda gotten discouraged, or in a rut, for fear that if I make a wrong cut I could really mess something up. And man, does it take time to do ANYTHING on woodworking when it comes to something like a guitar. Maybe I should have started out with a paper weight first!
If you know of any threads about luthery on here, I liked to know.
