Yup, still here. Currently setting up the workshop so I can do this stuff at home. How are things in the Frocester Lutherie? I've been to Bailey's three times now - with two other builds completed i...

Very nice.

Thanks folks, you are too kind. I have to say I have not picked up another guitar since I got it home, it is amazing both in appearance and in playability. But I couldn't have got close to this witho...

Thank you. Pretty pleased. Mark did quite a lot of the finishing because we ran out of time, but still an amazing experience just getting it to the 95% stage.

@rocknroller912 24 frets (it was supposed to have 24 but I messed up) change the cut away chamber the body (it weighs a ton) - maybe even make it semi-hollow. A nice crescent ‘f hole’ around the scr...

@russ 🤣. You’re the second person to point that out.

@tv101 🤣

@rocknroller912 thank you. It’s constructed from two intersecting offset ovals. Not sure where the inspiration came from, but I’m pleased with the result. I’d make a few mods on the MK2 though. I...

Been a long time since I signed in. But here are some pics of the finished thing… Attachment : 8E269330-4436-47C1-8440-B43813D92433.jpeg Attachment : 04030684-66B7-4691-BAEF-8DB3B3F7BAB8....
