@boo Gotcha. It can be done either way and putting clear over it isn’t a problem. I’ve put it on several guitars that were already finished and it cleans up easily with a damp rag when it’s wet. I’ve...

I have never seen a pot break like that. I would choose to replace it. Maybe even replace all 3 of them. Get something of better quality.

It's much more comfortable in there now. Plus I have to keep it clean and dust-free. Before there was sawdust *everywhere*. And odd bits of wood. And tools. It was a mess. This is much nicer, and ...

Well I guess we now know what yours really looks like! 👍 It's much more comfortable in there now. Plus I have to keep it clean and dust-free. Before there was sawdust *everywhere*. And odd...

Next it will be some "nice" curtains for the windows with some matching soft cushions for the chairs. Plus, you'll need some pretty lampshades in there and some rugs for the floor ... 🤣 @tv...

About 3 coats are needed apparently and 24hrs in between coats. @boo Yeah those are the drawbacks to using paint however I’m willing to bet that you could speed up the drying time with a hair dryer ...

My perception is that classical guitars seem to have had rather more variation in bracing ideas (as in clearly different approaches to the layout rather than tweaks of the same basic arrangement) than...

Best wishes and prayers for your mum Mark....

My favourite song today:

Is that not the same view in Blackpool @boo ?

@Deej ... like this? Exactly like that...

In the end.. If you like it, you should do it. it is your guitar after all, you do not need anyone's approval imho 🙂

I guess there's a degree of luck involved as to whether the customs officer dealing with your package can be bothered to chase after small amounts of VAT. I got caught by this twice over the last few...

Without wanting to blow my own trumpet too much, the first two laminated, steel string acoustics that I made are still the best sounding, best intonated and loudest acoustics I’ve ever played They lo...

I used iron gear steel twin ll on a tele build and I’ve been very pleased with the result. They were easy to wire using a push/pull pot for the extra coil boost. I’ve also used iron gear P90s and humb...

@koendb Top marks for changing a Mosfet
