Gold dude, that guitar deserves gold ! Or maybe titanium... anodized to rainbow colours

Yes, making up a wider lamination and then cutting it down is something I do quite often in my main business (ie not guitars). For 335's I would probably limit it just making two sides together as thi...

@boo I’m not a fan of gold hardware but it might look good on that one... But chrome or black? They both look good actually. The chrome ties in with the silver and the black offers contrast even thoug...

@boo Waaaaaait a minute! You said no more posts about that damn glitter glam guitar for a while and now you not only go back on your word but you have the audacity to subject us to that age old questi...

I saw the mortice being cut live, that was awesome! But had to catch up later on the rest. Great job M&C!

...and now I’m all caught up and ready for tomorrow. I heard there’s something special going on, I guess I might tune in...

This Mortal Coil?!? Okay, okay I never heard of them but like another post I am reminded of something else... Most (if not all) of you will probably not be familiar with this group but they are a huge...

Thanks @mattbeels, the body is going be yellow/amber in the middle and blended through orange to red around the egdes, at thats the intention. The neck I think just amber.

@robin It can be done either way but if it were me, I’d glue the neck on first and then deal with the finish. Are you going to use different colors on the body and neck?

Inspired by the finishing course and boo's latest creation I need to add some colour to my current build. So I've had a little experiment with water bsaed stains. The colours on my test piece looked a...

@boo I would depend on whether it’s a rotary or orbital. Cheap car buffers are normally orbital and crap. If it’s rotary, get it. Its a variable speed 600 to 3000 rpm. I might as well give it a try....

@darrenking There are some interesting insights into the insides of Semi Acoustic designs in that video. I also found it interesting that they shape what ultimately become several pairs of sides at on...

We all need to move to Scotland Damn - the "like" button seems to be disabled for that post @boo ???

I guess that being responsible for a 335, that has taken the factory two weeks to put together, flying across the workshop and landingon a concrete floor is something that that could come up at their ...

Hi Boo, That's good to know and I can almost hear your excitement level rising at the prospect of having a go! Here is a link that Mark sent me of the 335 Gibson factory. When you get to the bit where...

And at least they find out if the headstock is going to fall off. And the answer is ....yes, it is going to fall off! 🤣 🤣

He used to use the same polishing system as I still do (a hand held car buffer and liquid compounds). It works well but obviously but it can be a bit scary sometimes when the hand held machine (two ha...

Who the £&#* is Alice? I believe Carol asked that very question @Boo !!!

Hey Dave, no worries. If paper cannot slide in it. Should be ok. Next time around, what really helped me, Mark has a method on radiusing pre cut fret wires by hand. I tend to do that even when I my fr...

After last night ... (if you weren't there, you weren't there) 😉
