Important Note: Only taper your headstock thickness along it's length if you choose to use bushing-style tuners! Screw-down tuners with a tapered thickness headstock will result in finish de-laminations at the front edge of your tuner washers.

I’m sorry but I don’t think I will have time to finalize this project anymore, I haven’t had time to film new sections in over a year. Therefore I’m releasing the entirety of what I have. I also use larger machinery now-a-days so filming my current processes wouldn’t be as helpful as how these videos were filmed back in the day.

I have listed the sections and times below and pointed out which sections are missing:
