I'm building an 3/4 size sg like guitar. Iim struggling to find parts including neck!

Update on progress. I'm following the Benedetto book and have scaled down his design from 17" to 16" for my preference. Lots of drawing of the arching profiles and cutting them out of 3mm hardboard wa...

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your router jig! Cheers Mark. Bear with us...

I prefer method 2 as the fretboard will be attached to the same piece all the way along. In method 1 the fretboard can start to come loose near the nut - this is because it is glued to 'endgrain' in t...

Do you mean something like this? For less than £500 it looks pretty well made. I might put a call into Vectric and ask if they have post processors that will work with any of these little machines as...

Hi Mark If you are only going to use it most for cutting patterns I would think that it is going to be difficult to justify the costs and space it takes to have in house compared with simply subbing t...

Excellent ! For me it is not about making guitars faster - but better - or at least more accurately... Also I think I would use mine mostly for patterns not actual guitars - making templates is fun th...

Good morning, Relax! I think that we are a very long way from being able to 3D print an acceptable replica of a guitar by pressing a single button so chisels, planes and plasters are going to feature ...

As we are now 'living in the future' it seems crazy not to at least explore the world of CNC for the home guitar builder It is a subject I am becoming more interested in as time goes on...with the lat...

Some progress here gang: Ben Crowe (Crimson guitars) at VintageToolShop.com is willing to make some of these chisels next week after NEC show they are attending. I said to admin Saffy on email that th...

Thanks... if I go with magnets I think they will be a reasonable distance from the pickups holding on the backplate rather than the scratchplate... good heads-up though...

Excellent! Well done - looks great 🙂

{ The thinking behind this project... I always revert to my Strat. It's comfortable for me to play and has a rainbow of tone colours that I love. I really don't play the guitars I make or the others I...

I'm sure it will look great... ? (from a distance...) I would certainly cheer you on Herb but...Why not just use a real scratchplate? If you are being lazy then don't expect me to encourage you... ? ...

I'm planning to build a "stratty" guitar without a scratchplate. Intend to use rattle cans and do a solid colour. At the moment I'm thinking that the scratchplate shape is part of the vibe so, here's ...

Mighty Perdy! Nice work again. Hats off as always... What's next?

That's really nice! Shame you have to plug it in 😉

I just got a bigger one delivered this week from ebay. It's a long straight blade, but the handle shaft is offset, which isn't what I wanted, even though it was listed as 'curved chisel'. I'm wonderin...

Having downloaded the Ashley Isles catalogue they already do some flat spoon chisels that look like they might be pretty handy for brace carving. I've ordered a couple and I'll let you know how they ...
