Unfortunately I don't have a link, but I used 0.6mm carbide bits and 0.2mm stepdown in this video.

@guitarsbymauro thanks for the reply

are you a guitar builder ?

@@SuperFredIsa Almost. an aspiring collector of promising wood...

Yes, definitely! This model is available for full customization.

Thanks!

Exactly! The more, the better - this neck’s not going anywhere!

@@guitarsbymauro actually with that many holes in the neck, you stand a chance in the neck wood splitting. I hope for your sake does not. ☮️💜😊

@@TarynnElizabeth619 Thanks for your concern! I see where you're coming from, but each hole is carefully predrilled to match the screw threads precisely, so there’s minimal risk to the neck wood. The middle three screws are actually more for aesthetics than structural support, as they don’t penetrate deeply due to the truss rod channel. The construction is sound, there’s no need to worry!

Proper demos are high on my list for future builds. I do have a small sample on my tiktok of my former teacher playing this exact model.

Thank you!

That's awesome, congratulations! Yes, I used danish oil on this guitar.

They are all in the 3,7kg range. Yes, the big cutout helps with weight, I can do individual cavities and no pickguard on top if you want more wood to be shown.

Drop me an email and we'll talk about your dream axe.

Weight. Although I could've saved more in that regard by using anything but aluminum as pickguard material I still lose a lot through routing a big pocket. Also comes in handy for custom pickup installations. Thanks, glad you like it!

@@guitarsbymauro Well thought out! Now it makes a lot of sense actually)

This guitar is currently in the studio with a local band but might be available again in September. However, I have more guitars available on my website (www.mauroguitars.com) and I'd also gladly take your custom order! Drop me a message at info@mauroguitars.com

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! An Italian friend told me that it used to be more of a surname. However, I have never met anyone in person with that name.

@@guitarsbymauro I had a high school friend named Mauro Commuzzi. BTW, the Guitars is absolutely gorgeous.! I noticed that you used a Schaller mega switch. I think you also used Schaller strap Locks as well. Two things I would’ve done differently. I would’ve also used Schaller locking tuners, and I would have recessed the neck mounting screws with Ferrels, and I would’ve contoured the neck heel for better feel and better reach to the higher frets. Other than that, it’s absolutely beautiful! #GirlPower #MetalChicksRule

Thanks, I applied several coats of danish oil on both body and neck.

Thank you for your interest! Stick around, I got lots of guitar related content and ideas in the making. If there's something in particular you'd like to see, let me know!

@@guitarsbymauro 👍👍👍

​@@guitarsbymauro...мне Всё интересно!, я Всё хочу знать! 😉

Yes, email me the details.

Thank you, appreciate it!

Available guitars are listed on my website - mauroguitars.com For custom orders please send me a message with your desired specs at info@mauroguitars.com Thank you!

That's my 'Electric Magdalena' model. I use it on all of my current builds.

That's awesome I drew something similar awhile ago, I would absolutely love to buy a guitar from you, do you sell to Canada? Fabulous work speechless, subscribed without watching then went back and watched 10 times you rock my man! Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️

@@ryersondodge1998 Thank you, glad you enjoyed watching! Yes, I offer worldwide shipping!

Thank you very much! Love sharing my work here with people who are interested. If you ever want to purchase a guitar in the future I'd be happy to give you a discount!

@@guitarsbymauro I appreciate that! When I get back to Europe I may have to purchase one of your artisan axes!

I love working with cherry, it works great for guitar necks. Even without the walnut fingerboard I wouldn't worry about stability. It's also incredibly smooth to the touch which is nice if you like playing fast.

Thank you!

Thanks, glad you like it!

I had initial concerns about burn marks around the fret slots from the heat transfer. Turns out being fast helps at times.

I'm not the builder, so take these comments for what they're worth: 1. "Comfort carves" (arm carve on front and belly carve on back of body) are unlikely to result in any audible change to final sound, imo. 2. Glue for frets is a good idea. So is pre-bending frets to the same radius as fingerboard before installing (video makes it appear that frets did have bend). However, as long as the kerf width of the fret slots is slightly less than the width of the fret tang, frets will generally stay pretty stable. Too narrow or too wide a kerf makes the install a nightmare. Usual kerf width target is .023 inches (5.8 mm) or thereabouts. 3. Don't know what products the builder used; looks as if a stain or oil mix (e.g., danish oil, tung oil) was used, with final coats of wipe-on sealer of some sort. 4. Copper tape as a lining helps to keep out RF interference, to which single coil pickups are prone. Covering both the bottom of the P/U cavity and the bottom of the pickguard (the top of the P/U cavity) creates an ersatz "Faraday cage," which resists outside signals from entering.

Thanks for explaining @D_Morse. I'd like to add that I do use some glue on the models that I sell purely for safety measures. Before finishing the guitar with several coats of Danish Oil I used a damp cloth to raise the grain. I sanded it down again shortly after for a silky smooth finish. Pretty standard woodworking procedure. Hope that helps!

Ergonomics and playability are (almost) everything!

Love the pale flame on this neck!

I should do a comparison of the finished guitars and let you decide if you hear any difference.

Very cool!

Honestly, stretching every other minute to keep the stance alive! I did some rough passes for heavy removal before doing a finishing pass for clean edges.

Yeah, I don't get it. I find it impossible to rout close to a line without screwing it up. There are accurate jigs. Why not use a jig? You're already using a machine in the router.

I was wondering, too, why you didn't drill out most of the material before routing the final sliver of wood.

@@hootowl6354 Just seemed like the tidier solution to me but I admit I enjoy using the router that way. I did the pre drilling where I felt I couldn't get the radius perfectly by hand. I guess I like a little challenge sometimes!

It's one of the smaller models by cnc4all. Cheers!

Thanks, appreciate the support!
