Very nice, always liked the Moderne.
This custom Chicago Tenor Electric CBG for Tim G in San Miguel, CA has a new feature that I call a "Double Scarf Cut". I cut a regular 13 degree headstock from the standard 1 1/2 by 3/4 inch poplar wood stock on my table saw using a sled and the fence. Turn the headstock over and glue it to the bottom of the neck. After drying, clamp the neck back into the 13 degree sled and add 5/8 inch to the fence width and run it back through the saw again, taking off about 1/8 inch. This moves the nut about 1 inch further up the neck and gives a more comfortable grip after I round off the neck on the router table. It looks good too.
This Christmas themed four string cigar box guitar came out of the shop of Paul Mero Junkpile Guitars (i.e. me). The graphics for the body and headstock are vintage Christmas cards. The fretboard is covered with Christmas themed matchbooks which are becoming increasingly hard to find. The guitar was donated to a local group that supports music programs in the school district. The guitar was raffled off at an annual holiday music program with proceeds going towards the good of the organization.
