Right, so I've now also learned that this is a job better suited for during daytime, as now i can see more little nicks and dents.My guitar seems to have measles now 😉 Should this dry overnight? or sh...

@Boo Thanks for so much detailed explanation, seriously appreciated! So I started by sanding it down with 400, as I did not have any 320 left, in some spots I went through the primer, but that s ok. ...

@mattbeels Thanks it’s going to be tricky either way

18mm at the nut is really thin I’ve got 6.5mm of fretboard in the middle so about 19mm in total at the nut. This still leaves at least 3mm of material beneath the truss rod so I think it should be o...

Thinking cap is on about how to make a pick up routing template for a curved surface. @rocknroller912 Route the pickup cavities before carving?

Today finally the weather conditions where good enough to start on finishing my latest built.There seems to be some sort of a consensus that humidity is more important then temperature to decide if t...

Sums up guitar making too bloody dear..🤣

Ain't that the truth !!! I think it would have been more sense for us to live in the shed and turn the house into a workshop 😂

Yeah I hear you, money is a never ending bitch. Are you going to convert your shed? Seems like a great idea, I hope it works out for you soon. Let us know what we can do to help you along! 💪&#...

Very nice indeed @deej. Thanks @Russ I agree go for it @koendb nice bridges..
