@swepri Yes there’s a special feeling to playing something you’ve made. There’s also that strange mixture of feelings when I finish a project, part pride and satisfaction and part disappointment that ...

@nsj I’m getting used to the weight of it, maybe I’m building up my muscles!!🤣🤣 Not sure that my good lady would be too chuffed with me building 19 guitars, future projects may need to...

@brie Good work! Nothing beats playing your own instruments for the first time.

@markbailey Thanks for your kind words Mark, I would have been very reluctant to start on such an endeavour without your fantastic videos and the end result would not have been of the same quality. I ...

@liebe Thanks Dan, having a rest for a while, at least until the weather is a bit warmer, then get going on the next one👍😃🎸

Great job Brian 👍 - Thanks for sharing the pics...and for your kind words...makes it all worthwhile!

@brie good work! I often look at the acoustic course, but find myself building 'just one more' electric!

@russ Thanks Russ, bit on the heavy side but otherwise I’m well pleased with it. Going to have a look at the acoustic course but I think I’ll probably do another electric come the spring time.👍...

@brie Nice work Brian. Looks great. Enjoy the Acoustic challenge too. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@robin Thanks Robin, it’s been a blast and I really only want to have look at the Acoustic course, honest!!🤣🤣 Thing is, you know how you always have bits left over when you finish a jo...

@brie Well done Brian, thats looking good, and yes it is addictive. Be careful with that acoustic course, I started off just drawing one, I never dreamt that I'd actually build it.

Hi Everyone, Must say I’m as proud as punch today having finished my first attempt at building an electric guitar from scratch. Thanks to Mark’s fantastic course, I’m now the proud owner of a guitar t...

Thankfully, gluing the neck went well and I now have a new guitar if sorts. I practiced staining on an offcut off the top and really enjoyed the process on the actual guitar. It's not 100% what I was ...

@nsj I was trying to go deeper than my router wanted to and I think the chuck released the bit and through it went! I may have sworn a bit. I would have considered a patch if I'd had any matching wood...

@liebe I went to deep once, measured from the lip for the cover rather than the back of the guitar lol. I used the template to draw the shape on a piece of wood, cut it etc then glued it in and the...

Well, I started giving updates of this build so I'm going to continue....! I've I managed to get all the binding glue out, fretting went well and no issues under cutting the fretwire for the binding. ...

@nsj I had a bit of an experiment with acetone just on making a binding repair glue, to hide gaps and repair chips rather than fix the binding to the fretboard. I found cellulose dissolves quicker tha...

@liebe I was concerned about slot depth, slots being clean, getting to much glue on and it choking the slots etc etc lol Might try the acetone next time. Supposed to work well and of course it doesn't...

@nsj totally 😅. The little hosco fret saws are amazing, but it still takes a while. I used uhu Hart glue. I got it from Rothko and it worked pretty well. Turns out it sets quite hard too ...

Sanded the kerfed edge of one side while the glue on the other side was drying. I found it far too flexible to hold it in shape out of the mold, so clamped it into the mold, so much easier. Attachm...
