Are you also familiar with the Hamer Virtuoso? @mattbeels I wasn't until now, looks interesting

Rubbing the two surfaces together after the glue has been applied but before clamping helps to mate the surfaces together and prevent slipping after clamping. It’s known as a rubbed joint as opposed t...

. a tad extreme don’t you think @mattbeels You say extreme, I say firm, but fair. 22 Is forgivable on the basis that some people just want the tone of the pickup in that 24th fret position, it is aft...

Just watched the video @Boo - all looks good to me. Padding the bottom of the pickup cavities should be fine. Just wondering ... don't suppose the customer was planning on a baritone guitar??? (I *...

@robin I only filled in the tremolo cavity to fit a different bridge style which covered the repair, didn’t touch the pick up cavities.

@boo I like @Rocknroller912 's idea of replacing one big chunk and re-routing all the cavities. Then seeing @darrenking 's idea of a CNC repair block and matching template, I like that better. Maybe D...

PS - that makes it sound like I've got lots of friends who are into guitar building. Obviously, I don't ... just you lot. 😆

Well @tv101 at least that idiot did some cool inlays! Unfortunately @mattbeels, I can take no credit for the inlays! I was given this as a rescue project. A friend had commissioned another friend to...

Cheers @koendb @mattbeels I kept carving into and thinking, well something else I suck at. @tv101 this is the bit I've really been looking forward to and it really paid off, I'm stupidly proud of it a...

Isn’t that a great feeling? Making something so tactile and comfortable feeling?

Looks great so far @cheesewhisk, have fun shaping the volute!

Looking good @cheesewhisk! 👍

Cheers @russ that seems to be the trick, keeping at it.

You're getting there @cheesewhisk. Keep at it. 👍😁 🙏🎸🎶🙂

Make a nice big template Attachment : 20160317_114132.jpg And rout out a nice big cavity Attachment : 20160317_123019.jpg There's a long backstory to this one, which explains why you ca...

Well @tv101 at least that idiot did some cool inlays!

I had to do something vaguely similar when some idiot routed the bridge pickup cavity in the wrong place. Wrong as in, 1" out, and just where the bridge posts needed to go. Idiot. I Some idiot had als...

CNC machined repair blocks with a matched routing template. Just how many mistakes do you think we make @darrenking? You could sell loads! 😆
