" . . . that's exactly how you'll get it!"

I just got very excited about mounting my tuners. So excited that I mounted them on the front of the head stock. Now I have some decorative holes on the face of the headstock.

Want to share some of your gaffs, goofs, and screw-ups that justify the photo of this group?

Finally, a topic I can contribute to! (Ha!)

I cut the bottom end of the first neck too short, then shaped it at about a 45 degree angel.  THEN tried to drill the holes for the strings!  Now I've got 2 holes and a big chunk missing off the side!  Maybe I can cut the end off and not do a neck-thru design on my 2nd build! (yeh, we'll go with that!)  :)

I did a fret marker goof, marked the 14,16,18,20, managed to cover up the fret board with a design, just have the side ones to remind me
