Hello fellow Forumites,

I am having a buddy help me build my tele-bird guitar. Need to do some further sanding on the epoxy to really make it look like glass and some light other things but looking pretty solid so far I think. It looks like the upper fret access is pretty limited, but the more I have looked around, the more I realize that this is just a thing with these types of guitars. Should I work to sand/contour that area a bit, or cut it down in some way, or just leave it as is and use my other guitars for high weedle-deedles?

Since it's a custom guitar, I say make it the way that feels most comfortable and useful to you.
That's fair. My other thought is that sometimes limiting a tool gives it more of a creative purpose or voice. I appreciate your input!
