Cool AS!

Wooden scratchplate...BOOM. @markbailey ... I did the BOOM last time 😉 Fancied trying something different this time around!

Wooden scratchplate...BOOM.

And now, as if by magic, no exposed and visible neck join!! Attachment : 20200823_115733.jpg

Take one LP Jr ... Attachment : 20200823_115713.jpg (Yes, I know it should really have a dog ear P90, and also that the rubber surround of the mini HB isn't looking too good, but that's anoth...

I like LP Jrs. I like the simplicity of a single slab of wood, no fancy top, a single pickup, plug-in-and-play. I also like that they tend to be (in my experience) pretty light, and easy to strap on a...

Brocott.co.uk was where I got mine - I have used 42 AWG. 0.063mm (42 AWG) or 0.056 (43 AWG) enamelled wire on 500g drum..... My winder works and has cost about £50 to build - will need to practice wi...

oh boy! Electronics aren't my strongest part. I would not try and build something like this on my own. Although I have my eye for a while on the stewmac's DIY winding kit. it's around 300 bucks and...

I have the P90 bobbin wound but have not made further progress because I haven’t got a a guitar to try it in......... I have an old Strat shaped body that I have started to attack - I have removed woo...

i am left handed and like the idea of building something from scrap/pallet wood. i really like the finish on it and the rustic look of it. nice and shiny too but with the cracks in the wood give it a ...

Great work @johnlerox-boo I’ve not really got into neck making so much, but your posts here are giving me a huge shove in that direction!

I use this and is available with different scales. It comes with the saw with the right depth stop to ensure you do not go too deep...I’m not affiliated with them, it just works really well. They have...

That looks excellent. Somehow, Teles seem to look good to me when they have some "interesting" design features. Perhaps the relative plain-ness of an ordinary Tele makes the interesting ones stand ou...

@darrenking Yes, I can relate this to sailing again, my time hasn't been totally wasted, the same principal as making a wooden mast or spar.

@ihab-amer The saws come with two depths so you can choose depending on the fret depth.. I think they are 1.5mm to 3.5mm. Contact them and they will source with any of the kits.

Looks sturdy and better than the Miter Box I have been using lately, quite simple and straight forward...thanks for sharing will get me one of those...

@robin And if the grain is running at an angle through the plank you can cut two pieces and glue them so that the grain forms a “V” on the end. Its all about trying to make sure the neck doesn’t have ...

@johnnierox-boo Thank you for taking the time to post such an interesting response and I agree about challenging accepted wisdoms(!) I am at the sharp end of some very deep seated guitar snobbery (not...

I’m curious as to how the softwood body affects the sound of the guitar. Traditional teaching would suggest that it may not be that great but who cares? @darrenking As long as you use the right sort ...

my router was falling into the cavity doing the larger bit, I'll need to make a wider router base plate soon. @robin I struggled for years with the same problem with my router. It was watching one o...
