@steveh Trussrod fully tight and still bowing forward? You could try adding a bit of physical pressure to pull the neck back and see if the trussrod will turn more. Or, you could somehow pull down...

@russ thanks Russ - this one was quite challenging as I was breaking a lot of new ground for me.

Ugh, here’s a thing. The frets aren’t quite level, so I decided to revisit that. I can’t quite get the neck flat, even with no string tension. With the Trussrod at its tightest, I have the slightest a...

So, ladies and gents, I give you: „The Guitar that didn’t want to be Built“ as I know it affectionately Attachment : IMG_0043.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0044.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0045.jp...

When you say glue in, then strip it down and paint. You mean leave the neck in cuz we just glued it, right? so I would just remove hardware and the mask the hell out of the fretboard and other thing...

I got mine out of aldi years ago, still going strong. Came with the snake attachment too which helps when I drill those ferrules off centre lol I try and use a nice small bit to do pilot holes so th...

Quick question about the order of tasks.... In the lessons, Mark glues the neck and then applies the finish. But he's using a wipe on oil..... If I wanted to actually use paint as a finish, is that st...

Hey @Boo while I remember, got these from tool station, pretty cheap but can be pretty handy. There's a little dremmel sized one in the kit too. Attachment : 20220209_181511.jpg

I say old bean, get yourself a dremmel, there's a good chap what what 🤣

Thanks @boo. I'm sure we will eventually meet up one day. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

Cheers @boo. On a different note. I almost gave you a shout as I was on holiday in Lunga last week but the grandchildren took up all my time. This was the sunset on our first night...... Attachmen...

Hello Peeps, Does anyone know if there is a difference between a Strat single coil pickup routing template and a Tele neck pickup routing template?......and is there a difference in the mounting rings...

@boo Welcome. Usually with gibson scale I measure 630mm for scale line which is slightly longer, seems to work great.

@somethingnicer Here's what I did on my latest les paul type build. Attachment : SquarePic_20240613_16251884.jpg You can also slice off the lower half of the heel and glue a longer piece on, ...

@boo my ggbo build, the black limba neck through with binding etc. That's a 24.75 scale with floyd, works perfect. A lot of companies have been doing it for years. Post hole centres sit a 1/2 inch for...

@somethingnicer . I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me! Your welcome. It'll work out just fine.

@robin awesome…. I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me!

@somethingnicer Actually, now that I look at it, this doesn't seem too horrible..... I think the may be the easiest method to reshape on this line. Does that jive with you? That would certainly be ...

@somethingnicer That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down? Exactly that. Use an offcut from your body blank, you might ...
