Being able to overcome...awesome ."So, I have this condition that causes me pain and practicing guitar is difficult. So I took a cheap one and hacked it up and put a belly cut and an arm bevel on it like a Stratocaster has.
Tomorrow make a nut and saddle (where the strings go over) and hopefully it will be playable.

I think I've been running mine too cool.
Root show up eventually but it takes a while.
I'll add a heater set at 75F and see what happens.
It's almost time to flip my crop and I need to take a bunch of cuttings very soon...
(Got 2 'gorilla wreck' cuts that were taken in late flower and they are hanging in there! Not pretty, but they're alive!

Wanted to go to luthier school or do an apprenticeship when I was younger but now I'm getting ready to breach 1/2 century mark. Still would like to build my own. Also had ideas like a hemp version of rainbird acoustic guitars that are carbon fiber and resin... Thinking that would be sweet!There are some custom builders that are doing both the belly cut (actually rib) and many, even Taylor that is doing a small arm bevel. they are also rolling the edges to be more comfortable. I did that probably five years ago on a guitar I built but it looked kind of funny. Now it is starting to catch on. I have done light rolling of the edges on a couple. I also bent the top rather than cut a bevel in it.
Another thing that luthiers have done is to create a 'wedge' shaped body. It is easier on the arm and the shoulder for those with pain problems. This bottom one has a little wedge to it and a gentle roll to the top.
I really want to get back into building but my plants are taking most of my free time.

I built my first real guitar when I was 50. Just looked at what people have done themselves online, actually started with building a cigar box guitar. Then built a semi acoustic the rough shape of a Telecaster then built a real acoustic. So in a way each was a stepping stone for the next one. Then I was hooked. I have posted some good build threads in guitar forums, the two best are, for more solid bodies but some acoustics
Tele Home Depot
Building a T-Style guitar? From scratch or from parts. This is the forum for you.
www.tdpri.com
and for acoustics.
Build and Repair - The Acoustic Guitar Forum
Guitar building, repair, and setup discussions - acoustic and electric
www.acousticguitarforum.com
The second one here also has a Custom shop area with luthiers that are the real thing and not someone that has made a guitar or two, the big boys. I never thought of it before, I guess I could post a build thread here somewhere. I used to have a few before Photoshop tried to make money, I do not have full build threads pictured but parts of some.
I do have a complete picture set of one small guitar that I built out of construction wood from Home Depot using a minimum of tools. A kid in some country wanted to build a guitar but figured he needed $800 in tools to do it, I added up the tools and he was pretty close, Then I proceeded to show a build with every step, and misstep using a fence board and 2"x4" and a handful of tools. Built a playable guitar for $50 with maybe $50 in tools.

I can't believe it's been 10 days already and another harvest week is upon me. I have to cut down and trim this tray tonight. I guess I don't mind that much, as the weather sux and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon -
Looks better with the flash on -
The cold at night in the grow room is bringing out some lovely purples. I should raise prices in the winter (J/K) -
