Looks awesome for a first build, any problems doing that scarf joint? Are those acoustic strings? I heard they sound better than electric strings even with a magnetic pickup.

Ya, a little trouble with the scarf joint. My table saw is out of commision right now so I made a jig for my (power) mitre saw. Worked OK for the one in the picture, but I was working on 4 necks the other day and the saw was kicking the piece out of the saw into the rafters! I've stopped doing it that way. Also when I was clamping it together it was sliding all over the place. Since then I've seen some good pictures of ways to prevent that.
Yes those are acoustic strings. Just cheap ones that I got at Wal-Mart.

Here is a trick I use for sharf joints slipping around. Staying away from the edges lightly sprinkle some play sand on your glueing area.Easy does it. You don't want sand where you may file sand through. As you clamp the sand will grip and bite into the two sufaces and stop shifting. Wipe off the glue that squeezes out.
