@robin I had the smae thing when I made my first telecaster..the string through holes are a total nightmare and the throat on my pillar drill was too short as well... I sweated over that one!! but fin...

My favorite song today is Revolution by John Butler Trio from Perth Australia. I really like his dynamic guitar playing and his play in songwriting. Here is a video I made covering the song 10 years a...

My favourite song today:

@boo Great song. Never caught them live with Lane but "new" singer Will Duval is amazing.

@steveadams I had a bit of a learning opportunity when I fitted my bridge. I had drilled my test hole on a bit of scrap using my pillar drill, the post fitted perfectly. When went to drill the body, ...

@clinton Just like @boo...brilliant and clear answer...really appreciate all of you taking the time and effort to help.... yes, I will be testing more than a couple of times on scrap!! Cheers Steve

Brad point drill bits are key. Pilot holes if not a brad point is crucial. and aligning the bridge for a brief visual aspect to make sure before final drilling. Post some pics once you get done with y...

@robin Thanks very much...appreciate your help.... cheers Steve

@boo wow....perfect...thank you so much....totally answered my questions as I was also a bit confused between the hard edge of the bridge and the actual fixed saddle positions... I've fitted a few tel...

Hi Steve You also mention that the bridge should be offset from the scale length line by 1.5mm and 4.5mm, Just as Boo and Clinton said, your line at 6mm from the scale line is where you drill your p...

@boo my first fender style build. Surprisingly easier. Even the headstock thanks to the bolt on online course.

That looks awesome Boo.

Trevor Wilkinson is a smart man. With that type of wrap around bridge, mark out 6mm from the scale lenght which you already did. That line is the mark of your bridge posts where you will drill based o...

Hi Boo, If you email me your address I'll send you a couple of little stainless kill switches. I've got hundreds of them! Darren Attachment : IMG_1558.JPG

Hi Mark/Guys Not sure if you saw my direct message Mark, but I thought I would post here too.. I'm watching the video on aligning the bridge but I'm afraid I got a bit confused...I've attached a few i...

@boo what is your scale lenght? Looks good.

That sounds like a wise decision Dodgedude. Have a look through my post "First Practice Build" and learn from my mistakes, most of them when using the router.

So I got scared working on the $450 flame maple body so this weekend I went to my local hardwood store and bought a piece of mahogany big enough to make another one piece body. Now having some practic...

I only ask about weight because it’s unusual (in my experience anyway!) to use something like flamed maple for a solid body. More typically you’d use that for a stunning cap on top of a plainer (and p...

@tv101 it's just under 2" but im going to be putting a deep carve into it and planing the top down for the neck angle and a decent sized belly cut so hopefully it won't be too heavy. I haven't weighed...
