Blog on Michael Winston Dales Guitars

I like visual CAD tooling, that is designing things by clicking and dragging and drawing on screen.

Continuing on from last update, these “weeknotes” (ahem) follow the new neck I’m building for the second guitar I built.

Picking up a story of a neck build from a little while ago.

This year was the tenth birthday for Liverpool Makefest, and I was delighted to be able to return as an exhibitor once more and attempt to explain guitar building to the people of Liverpool.

In addition to the bass-guitar build I’ve been writing about, I’ve got a couple of electric-guitar necks I’m building at the same time.

In the previous update I talked about the process of designing my first bass guitar, my Delfinen Bass, looking at how it differs from a regular electric guitar design.

It’s been a couple of months since I’ve been able to get into the workshop, which has happened before, but it’s always a little hard to get back into the swing of things.

This set of week-notes is a bit of a catch-up on one guitar I’ve been fixing up, and another I started reworking a little.

There’s an easy assumption to be made that because I’m always taking photos for this blog of the guitars I build, and because photography is another hobby of mine, then I must have lots of nice photos of the guitars I build.

Being back in the workshop last week for the first time in a month, I was keen to press on with the nearly completed Hästen.
