Good choice on the tuners @boo, I love locking tuners and the low profile posts are a big reason why. 👍

@boo coming along nicely, hoping to be at a similar stage by the end of today too if the stars align and I get time!

@boo I got some supplies when they were on offer. Wait till firms want to unload stuff. I think the rosewood was £6 each ten years ago and the Ebony was £10 two years ago. I like to spread my…   Read more»

Thanks again @boo for the advice. Much appreciated.

@russ I like to use the staggered ones

Thanks @boo. Would I need staggered ones if I opted for a 4-2 setup?

Do you think there is any reason why this material couldn’t be used to make fret marker dots?  @boo I don’t see why not, should look good. With regard to size look at how wide your fret wire is and…   Read more»

@boo that’s a bit cheeky!No surcharge with these guys, but there is a £12 minimum orderhttps://www.ema-models.co.uk/index.php/acrylic-plastic-shapes.html

What size are you after @boo? It looks like they have everything available unless I missed something…

@mattbeels Erm, I was thinking 9.5mm is a bit big for fretboard dots or is it acceptable? Not sure.

@boo I went with a Stanley one, very much sounds like a huge drop in quality. A lot of reviews stating how much better their old ones from grandad are etc. 

If you have a nice sharp saw @boo I imagine that you could use this very effectively. I might nick this idea myself one day.

@boo his thumb is a dead giveaway that he’s really an alien, here to take over the world and snack on our brains

I don’t think Vantablack is robust enough to use on a guitar from what I’ve read.

@boo yeah but it’d look awesome until manhandled though 🙂

@boo I think the hundreds of thousands you have to pay to get a license to use Vanta Black (not to mention that it has some very special application method) probably makes how hard wearing it is rather moot.I think…   Read more»

@boo there are several reasons for fanned frets (also known as multiscale or compound scale).They vary between tonal and ergonomic.Tonally, scale length makes a difference, given the same gauges of strings longer scale lengths tend to favour the bass, making…   Read more»

I know you’re going to paint it @boo but I was thinking that the mismatch of the grain on the headstock would seep through… but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

Coming along nicely there @boo. 👍 
🙏🎶🎸🙂

Lookin’ good @boo! Are you gonna use a headplate? 

Sweet @boo! A Bumblebeesman!

@boo When I learned bow making we had to cut our own dots from flat sheet. You could try google for model shops, there’s loads. They have all sorts of plastic sheet and some do custom work. Circle punches work…   Read more»
