@peebee It’s looking good but I can’t see where the scale length line is. Make it really clear so you can’t overlook it. Also, if you are using the Wilkinson wraparound bridge, have you measured 6mm b...

@boo Thanks i really apreciate it! I will make shure to let you know if anything goes wrong. I have exams coming so i will put a hold on the project, i will pick up the build around 21 december or so....

COOL! Getting your workpiece flat and straight is half the battle - use whatever you have available 😎

I know from a recent live stream that Mark isn't a huge fan of the safe T planer (despite it coming from StewMac 😜) but I've had one sitting in the shed unused for a couple of years. I've deci...

Last time I mentioned it has come to my attention that folks are often doing things in the wrong order which can lead to avoidable difficulties. I also fessed up that I made the same mistake on a rece...

@louis-kerckhove You can put any "size" (medium, jumbo etc.) of frets on the fretboard. The names "medium" or "jumbo" refer to the hight and width of the fret crown. Which one you want to use is up...

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing allright, i am but my dad has been sick for a while now. he did a covidtest but we are still waiting on the result. However i have a question about fretwire. I...

@tv101 Thanks for the kind words! Louis

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Thanks for the kind words! When i am done with this project, i will consider building guitars on a regular basis as a hobby, i am really interested in the craftmanship! I ...

@darrenking Thanks darren for the comment! I will do my best to build the best guitar i can, within limits of course. I will let you and the memebers know if something goes wrong. Thanks for the kind ...

Hi Louis, You have taken on a very ambitious project but I am sure that you will make it a great success. When writing up your work never be afraid to admit mistakes. There are many points to be won f...

I have a 12mm brad point drill. It was perfect in my test piece using my pillar drill, but too loose with my hand drill.

@clinton glad I'm not alone and yes, it's just a tad too tight with the 11m...I'll do a test with your method cheers Steve

@markbailey fair point but I used my pillar drill, seemed ok... I will do another test, by hand as well...although I dont really want to drill the final holes by hand and not get them straight It's a ...

Good point Mark, What brand of 12mm drill have you got Steve, not all tooling is created equal! Those TCT lip and spur drills are also available in 12mm and the hole will be spot on, guaranteed. Just ...

I came across the same exact dilemna. I ended using the 11mm and drilled it normal for the posts. I came back on on reverse moved it about a bit just to be able to slightly widen it.

More money, but in the UK and in stock!

Looks to me like they are meant to fit in a 12mm hole... I just did a test and our Wilkinson bridge posts are still fitting perfectly tight into a 12mm hole Maybe there is some 'play' in your drill an...

@darrenking Thanks Darren, appreciate you looking... I'll get on the case and see how quickly I can get one... cheers Steve
