Ok, not so much. Carving a lot of paddles is tough work. It uses aggressive power tools that requires a lot of attention, makes a lot of dust, and you have to do this for hours on end.
So, I need to space this demanding work out some. This week I did that by Making a new guitar neck.
I made the mold over the winter, I prepared the sides while I was preparing stock for the SE117s, and I had the soundboard and the back prepared a couple of years ago. So, if it looks like this one gets built fast, remember that it's just an illusion!

What makes this neck challenging is how to make the elevated fingerboard and the adjustable action. I could have done it by having an adjustable neck angle as famously done by Stauffer, but on this one I decided to work out a way for the whole neck to raise and lower.
