I thought I'd mention the radio on here rather than YouTube ... It has all become a little bit silly in my view. Rick Beato is always going on about it. He even addressed Congress regarding all this intellectual property rights B.S. I guess if you are a creator you'd quite rightly have a different viewpoint, but really- a transistor radio in the background? As Mel Brookes would say- Harumph Harumph. I'm getting close to politics here, so methinks back to Eddie's build.

The silliest copy right strike I've heard about, and I think it was Mary Spender, was she got a strike for using one of her own songs. It was kind of convoluted but the music upload service she uses claimed the rights for her. So she lost the copy right money on her channel but in the end she may have received it back from her "publisher".
I tend to agree that a radio in the back ground is a silly thing to get worked up about. I mean it's not likely that people tune into a channel based on what they might hear in the back ground. However the radio playing of a copywriten song is the actual song. I totally understand if someone is using a song as a movie type theme. That would be very blatant. Where as some lamer like me plucking out a tune can get a strike as well. No mater how I feel about it I just try to play by the rules and keep my nose clean.

Coming along Eddie! That's going to be a very nice guitar. I bought the Bosch colt router after looking at a few different brands on the jungle website. And it's a great router but on my radius sled it's hard to get subtle adjustments. So I bought one of those Hobo Freight routers and I just used it on the Strat neck radius. The adjustment on that router works a lot better. It did get pretty warm routing neck and pickup cavite's. And I wasn't really pushing it. As copy right goes, until your channel can be monetized if you get a claim whoever the band or company is will get the money. Which is about 5 cents after 100 views. Happened to me on my very first video. Beach Boys. At this point, I don't think I'll ever monetize. Didn't start doing this to make any money. It's something fun for me to do. I watched the video again, and I really can't even tell what song is being sung or what radio station it is on. I have watched a few GGBO videos and a some have their radios on, and you hear what song is being played real clear. I don't think I have anything to worry about. If UT or someone makes a stink about it, I'll cross that bridge should that happen. If was an honest mistake on my part. It won't happen again. I almost didn't do a video that day.
So, now the weather has warmed up again. So it may be a few days before I can get back out to the shop. I have to go get some blood work done sometime this week. That will be a lost day. But I do have some things running around in my head to do to this build as I go along. I'll see if I do any of them.
I would like to use a small amount of copper and maybe some turquoise in it. Still working on that idea. And know me, I want to put an Eagle on it somewhere. LOL! EB

I also try and play things I make up on the fly when I do my demos of the guitars and amps I use. I have done a lot of copy right clearance in the past. I used to work for a school district. I ran their print shop. I also was in charge of getting copy right things cleared so that schools and the teachers could use the product.
I also used to have to do the same for churches. Yes, even churches need to have some copy right stuff cleared, even though they pay for a blanket covering for the songs they use. There are still some that do not fall into that.
Same as teachers. Some things are not covered and can be sued if someone pushes the issue. It is a long drug out paper work to go through. It would sometimes take weeks to get the right to use on some things. But a lot of times I could get an OK in a day or two. Most of the people that hold copy rights on things are cool about it. Sometimes it a mater of how much money they want and how much you want to spend to use the copyrighted material.
So like I said, I try real hard not to use or play anything that has a copy right. But like in all things, someone somewhere will at some point say something about it. No mater how hard we all try to do the right thing.
I have seen so many get into trouble with peg head design. The use of a name on a guitar and so on. But on that I do know that if a design is like 35% changed it no longer falls into a copy right, it becomes your design. Even though it may resemble a name brand, it is not an exact copy. Even stuff that is art or written, one can change 35% of it and make it yours.
Thant does not mean you can't be taken into a court of law, but your chances are good if you changed things around. I also used to draw cartoons that looked a lot like famous cartoons. Keywords "looked a lot like" They were never exact looking. I never got into trouble over them. I used to sell them. I sold a lot of them.
I did have a friend of mine that put an exact looking cartoon on his car. That car made Hot Rod mag. My friend got sued over that. They took his car and kept it until the court day. That judge ruled that the cartoon be removed, and my friend had to pay a $5000.00 fine.
When my friend got his car back, the stereo was gone, the car had damage on it. He had to pay for the damage to his car, and put a new radio in it, and have the cartoon removed. He was told that the damage and the radio being gone was not the fault of the court or the impound yard. The impound yard said the car was already like that when they towed the car. Yeah, right!
Well any ways. What can you do? With all the kit guitars and other countries that don't have the copy right laws like the USA have It hard to know what is right anymore. I see a lot of kit guitars that even boast how exact their guitar is to the real thing. I know I would have a hard time with that.
Likewise, I don't think, for me, I could put a neck on a guitar that is supposed to be approved by a big name company and put the name brand on that guitar then try and sell it as a name brand guitar.
Hum... again, I did not know the radio was even on, until after I had posted the video. If someone wants to make a big deal of it, then let them. It's getting real bad when you have to watch everything you do. I even try and watch what I say about things in my videos. To the point, I don't like to say the name brand of anything I use. I do once in a while. It is free advertising for them. But one has to wonder if you are infringing on copy right laws by using their name on the videos.

Not a lot going on in the shop. It's been hot again. Back into the mid 90s. Plus, I had to get up and cut the lawn. So that cut into my time in the shop. By the time I got that done, I was done as well.
Once I have rested some today. I plan on doing some copper work. Once I get that done, I'll see if I'll put it on the guitar or not. Still need to find my turquoise.

It does take a while after a move to sort out all the shop stuff. Are you making a copper and turquoise Eagle?

Thinking of using the turquoise for the fret marker in the fretboard and in some spots on the body. I'll have to wait on some of it until I get more done on the guitar.
A lot of things I come up with while doing a project/build. Some things I never do a build. But I thought on this one I may try some things. Hard telling when I'll get to do another scratch build.
So, in saying that, I want to do some things that I have been wanting to do on other builds. This one seems to be lending itself to some of my other thoughts on how to use the copper and turquoise.

Here is what I have been up to today.
This is my new Eagle design. This will go on the body.
Something like this. I only put this on to show what I am thinking of doing on this new build.
I do have a really short video coming up that tells more of how I did this. EB
Here is the video of the copper Eagle.

I saw this pop up in my YouTube suggestions Eddie. It's a great technique brilliantly executed.
Edit: I couldn't make it out as an eagle on YouTube but it's as clear as day in the images posted here.

I'm also glad to hear that some of my stuff shows up on YouTube. I see Dane's videos a lot on YouTube. One of my videos has gotten 6.8k hits. Never thought I would get anything like that.

That's quite a cool process making that Cooper eagle. Do you fill it with resin from the back so once it's on the guitar it can't be smashed?
My neck/ fretboard process is a little different than yours. But I see a lot of folks do it the same as you. My main difference is I don't radius until the board is glued to the neck blank. And I leave it in the radius jig to do the sanding afterward. Since it's already being held down in the jig.

And I leave it in the radius jig to do the sanding afterward. Since it's already being held down in the jig. I did it this way for the first time in a long time. I too most of the time will glue on the fret board before I do a radius. Like I said, I had to cut the profile on the fret board because my radius sanding block was not wide enough to go across the fret board. The other problem I was having, the blocks I had the fret board on were coming loose from the two-sided tape. It was so humid out the shop. I think that was keeping the tape from staying stuck down.
Most of the time I cut the fret slots in before I radius a board as well. There are a lot of things I am doing different than I do most times. For me, I don't mind changing things up on every build. I don't like doing the same thing every time.
But I think I am going to make me a jig for cutting the profile of the fret board. Since I am no long building guitars for the public, I can make me a set of jigs for me. I like my fretboards to be like an LP width, and they are around 18 1/4" long. I use a 25" scale on all my guitars. That is what I like. So from here on out all the future guitars being made by me for me that is what they will be.
I hope to be making one of my new design bodies into an acoustic, like the Fender Tele was done. You know, with a sound hole in it like an acoustic. But before I can do that, I need to get so many other things done.
I was really struggling yesterday with my health. I really don't think I'll be able to carry out all of what is in my mind of the all the guitars I would love to see built/made. All I can do right now is do what I can when I can. I had to rest today. Yesterday was so hard to get thorough. By the time I stopped yesterday, I was not only shaking hard, I was in a lot of pain. I was almost unable to walk into the house and sit down. I was a mess. Saying this to help people understand I am not doing well. I am doing my best to deal with it. I don't mean to go on about it all. But I need to have you understand this is pretty much all I have left in life. Making a guitar is all I have left to offer to others that are interested.
I can no longer go all day, I can no longer think as quick I did even a few months ago. After doing that Eagle in copper, my brain felt like it was going to explode.
On the copper Eagle. What I do is this, I'll carve into the wood like any inlay, I will fill that with epoxy and push the copper eagle into the epoxy. That will fill the underside with epoxy. I then wipe off any reaming epoxy. Let that set up. Then If feel the need, I will in bed the top of the eagle with more epoxy so that the eagle is under the epoxy. Really depends on me and how I think it looks over all if I fill it in or not. Long ways to go before that happens. Oh, the copper I use for this is not paper thin. So, once the image is on the copper, it is really stiff as is. It would take a lot to smash it. Once on the guitar, I don't think it will be an issue.
I may also do some redesign in my radius jig. Not liking the edges of the jig box. I think it needs to be rounded over. That would make it work smoother. I think.

I do things differently from one guitar to the next as well. but mostly because I don't remember the process from one time to the next. Especially in the past when I was only building about one guitar a year because I so
had so much other stuff going on building wise. Set the shop up for cabinets or for custom tables made from reclaimed wood or for guitars. But I really like the radius jig and truss rod jig combo. So I'll stick with that for sure.
Constantly trying to up my clear gloss finish game. he Strat turned out really very good finish wise. Then I slipped with the drill for the strap button. Ouch, repairing with color and CA. Also drilled my hand. Seems I'll never learn.
