Slowly progressing with the neck. It's been 2 years since I last carved a neck profile so taking it slowly to ensure it's right. This will have a comfortable c profile once finished.

My personal build. Introducing the Charcaster! My take on a timeless classic, updated for modern playability. A sculpted heel makes access to the higher frets a breeze, while the belly and forearm contour makes for a more comfortable playing experience. This guitar has a slim modern c neck carve which along with the wax finish feels incredible in the hand. Rolled fretboard edges gives the guitar a played in feel, coupled with pafs, it really sings! Finished in two coats of nitro and no top coat, so it'll wear really nicely 😊
