@boo That;'s a dilemma - I'll be in Blackpool on Friday, but I'll have my partner with me...

@boo Wrong direction Robin. I was in Campbeltown. It's even more remote down there. Have you settled on an area to move to yet ?

@tv101 "whatever happened to me....whatever happened to you....what became of the people,," etc etc 🙂 OK so I am not buried underneath an avalanche or been eaten by cannibals.....It's been hectic ...

@rocknroller912 Thanks - might have to trawl around for that!

@cattytown Sounds like you have a higher skill level than most people who start guitar making. I’m sure you will do well. One source might be local joinery firms who used to make wooden windows and d...

@russ - Thanks, there are a few timber merchants about, but most feel like they are aiming more at the building trade rather than nice stuff. I was planning on dropping in at Axfords at some point - t...

@cattytown Welcome Paul. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. Bolton is a big place. I'm sure there will be lots of wood merchants in your area who aren't necessarily guitar wood specialist but I'm sure the...

@bpower Good luck I hope it fits the body ok

@rocknroller912 thanks for the input. My experience working with wood makes me believe it would be fine but I like hearing others think the same as me. I will make the volute bigger. I didnt think of ...

@bpower I would say you will be ok but hard to give an opinion without handling the piece. Might leave the volute a bit bigger than you intended.

@rocknroller912 thank you, that’s exactly what I was shooting for. I’ve had a few people tell me it makes them think of images of the anatomical heart. I plan to use that in my marketing, after all, “...

Thanks - woodwork skill is moderate - I can hand saw square, comfortable with power tools - made storage cupboards that sort of thing. Mainly functional rather than decorative, but looking to step up ...

@cattytown There is not much cheap wood around at the moment, it’s all got very expensive. You could try asking Mark and Carol first but if they have nothing then David Dyke instrument supplies and sa...

Hi all, contemplating my first real build having done a partscaster a couple of years ago. Planning a rear route P-Bass (If using nice wood, why hide it behind a pick guard?) and know full well I'll m...

@rathius Your body shape is very original I’ve never seen one like it before.

@robin here’s the flyer they’ve created. At the bottom you’ll see Glasscock Custom Electric Guitars listed as a vendor. 😁 My big day is June 11th. Attachment : 6FCB80FD-7C58-42B4-AC0F-30EE...

@rathius Thats cool looking unique shape. When is your festival, keep us posted as to how that goes.

@rocknroller912 The neck blank is just a little bit off of full quarter sawn. I needed to take material off of both sides of the headstock but I have only removed material off of the fretboard side of...

@bpower I think it depends on the piece of wood, how strong it feels and if it’s quarter or flat sawn. Quarter will be more resistant to flexing than flat. You could make sure that the veneer is a ti...
