@Boo. Yes, it matches the fretboard too. I finally  know what I could do with the fretboard blank off cuts than juat keeping them as souveniers for I cannot muster to toss in the bin.   I double side taped it…   Read more»

Dude, check it out: I was just on the Siggi Braun website and they‘ve got a guitar for you!
 

@boo That came out great, nice and clean. What kind of dowel did you use? I bought some plug cutters a few years back after getting tired of the softish hardware store dowel. I can cut plugs in whatever wood…   Read more»

@boo Thanks for the thought, you’re a cool dude…  The package needs a value declaration and you can’t just say 25 bucks and check the gift box, they know about that one 😂 I‘ve been in Germany a long time…   Read more»

@boo
Haha, I like the way you think 😉
But now you’ve convinced me, I’m going for more BKP’S! But I’m going to have even less money than you due to higher shipping rates and (most likely) customs fees! 😬🤦‍♂️😭

Bare Knuckle: The Festool of pickups 😱

@boo Oooo, that’s hot! I bet the Rebel Yell sounds great! I really like the Warpig and I want to try the Holy Diver and Painkiller. A VHII would also be cool! I‘ve only been able to install a few…   Read more»

@boo
Yee-haa, thanks!
I’m really looking forward to posting some photos of my own for a change! 💪

@boo That f$$king sucks!!! I have that “screw repair kit” or whatever stewmac calls it. You can make your own removal tool by cutting teeth into some brass or aluminum pipe, but I’m guessing that’s what’s known around here as…   Read more»

@Boo  Try this for hidden tenon. When you cut your body blank, save the bottom scrap part of it by the heel long enough to cut out a mini cap specifically for the neck tenon. You will be surprised on…   Read more»

@boo, great answer. I like the fact that you are building this one first as a ‘practice’ and then lending it to the customer to try and then make adjustments / alterations as necessary. Obviously not possible with all builds…   Read more»

Yeah I’ve thought about it but 2k filler doesn’t shrink 

@boo
🤞👍🤘

@boo

You did read correctly

Thanxs, them Nuns dun lerned me gud…
Best of luck with that. I would be worried that whatever you use to fill the gaps will shrink over time leaving you with an ugly, shit-eating grin…
 

@boo I think I read in an earlier post that you aren’t going to use a pickguard on this one?  How about a top? Just thinking that to permanently hide that neck joint is highly unlikely, unless you’ve got another…   Read more»

@boo
So, building for customers eh? Damn dude, you’re in the big leagues now…
Why not ask your custy which switch he’d like? Or am I missing something?

Yup @boo – I’ve been busy reading, and just caught up with Matt’s post.   I had a kill switch on a Gibson BFG LP a few years ago.  Never used it (swapped it out for more traditional wiring!), but…   Read more»

It worked well @mattbeels (I think – @boo?).
 

Can we talk about kill switches?

What do you want to know @boo?
For my style of playing, I don’t find them hugely useful, but they’re easy enough to implement on a build …

@boo
Here’s how to wire a killswitch, I would go for B as the switch is always grounded and probably helps reduce popping…

@boo Clean work, nice! I‘m a mad Buckethead fan from waaay back, his use of the kill switch is great! Personally I don’t like the arcade switch, I think it’s too big but to each their own… it works for…   Read more»
