Cheers @robin. I really must have a go at trying to make some. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@russ Did you make the decal yourself or order them in? I made these inkjet waterslide tranfers during my first build, I made enough for six guitars, thinking that I'll never build that many. I've...

Coming along nicely @robin. Did you make the decal yourself or order them in? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@brie Been having a look at the acoustic build course and already I can feel Mark’s can do attitude beginning to draw me in Mark's can do attitude is a great thing, and honestly, just follow the st...

@robin Looking good already Robin, fantastic job👍😃 Been having a look at the acoustic build course and already I can feel Mark’s can do attitude beginning to draw me in!!🤣...

@robin interesting! I'll look out for your thoughts. I've got the crimson water based wipe on finish to experiment with, but not tried it yet.

@liebe Thanks Dan, I feel like I'm on the home straight now. I've ordered a tin of water based top coat from Northwest guitars, never used this before so we'll see how it goes. Attachment : ecb16...

@robin looking good! What finish are you going for?

@boo You're welcome to it, I'll take it up to Castle Sween with me on my next visit and we'll arrange a meeting sometime.

@boo I've got a Stagg dreadnaught acoustic with a black painted fretboard. I really don't like it, it lives on top of the wardrobe. I might take it to a charity shop, or take the tuners off and bin it...

The frets are installed now and all sanded and masked ready for finishing. First coat of sanding sealer on and decals put on the headstock. Attachment : 20240204_142035.jpg Attachment : 202...

Thats the back binding done and a wee maple cap on the neck heel. Attachment : 20240203_171757.jpg

Well done @robin. I think it's wise to be more cautious. Even though it gives you more work on the scraping it has given you a good learning experience and more understanding and confidence for doing ...

I cleaned up, planed, scraped and sanded the soundboard binding, and I have to say that I'm delighted with the results. To be on the safe side, I had made my binding strips a bit to thick and had a a...

Hope it all turns out well @robin. Nice work. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

The soundboard board is routed now and maple binding glued in. Definitely out of my comfort zone doing that. We'll see what tomorrow brings when I take the tape off and clean it up, maybe I'll do the ...

Although I happy with the good close glue join that I've got between the sides and soundboard/back, it just doesn't look finished without binding. Having said that, I'm reluctant to set about it with ...

Fretboard levelled and dots added now. I went to get my dots out of my bag of bits for this build, and realised that I hadn't bought any. So I cut some 6mm plugs from a piece of maple an used that. Al...

@robin Well done Robin it looks good and is certainly challenging

Cheers @robin! Maybe I'll look into bending the sides myself, I think a mate has a bending iron and his badly can I need up making the moulds?!😅 No shame in getting a pre made fretboard!
