Mounted in some scrap... Pictures: Attachment : IMG_1742.jpg Attachment : IMG_1743.jpg Attachment : IMG_1741.jpg

@markbailey Thank you Mark! (your lessons are how I am able to do any of this! I must admit I miss seeing you on YouTube) I will mount the bridge on some scrap and put some strings on the bridge (and ...

Question. Do you tune the braces when carving, or are you focussing more on dimensions?

If in doubt: Mount your bridge into a lump of scrap wood to simulate the body then you can work out exactly where the take off point of the string will be - always a good idea to test your procedure o...

@USADave show us the bridge and also what scale you're planning. For instance using a T.O.M type bridge with a 24.75 scale I find 630mm to be the sweet spot for the initial scale line then add 3mm f...

Hi Everyone, Here is my latest build: Attachment : SSOOCBody.jpg Attachment : SSOOCBody-Smaller2.jpg Attachment : KIII.jpg Could not have done it without this awesome site. (and I...

@usadave Thats a nice build, I can't imagine selling any of mine. Let us see a photo of your bridge and we'll have a better idea of how to advise you.

So we finally decided to copy the switch location like his musicman JP6 guitar which works out nicely. I thought it'd be in the way but it isn't. I drilled from the front with a 3mm bit, then used a 3...

Well the yew didn't work out, developed a hell of a back bow, broke the trussrod trying to straighten it lol. Attachment : 20231202_233225.jpg Attachment : 20231202_233451.jpg Anyway...

Today was cavity cover, arm and belly carves and drilled all the holes Attachment : 1000028914-01.jpeg Attachment : 20231130_161251.jpg Attachment : 20231130_171313.jpg

@robin he got the idea from Charvel. Doing the angled area was fine, making the plate fit was fine, making actual socket fit with a lead plugged in was less fine! Lol

@nsj I like the jack socket set into the angled face like that. I was going to do it on my first build, I drew it out, but then chickened out.

Litle update, got the pickup cavities done and the control panel. Recessed for the nobs because it'll have a couple of push push pots and they need room to go down to pop up, this means I can have the...

Yeah, it's the wee intro to your YouTube videos that I was enjoying. Great wee riff that you've created there. 👍 🎸🙏🎶🙂

@russ Intro is me and the track with the bass update is me, sure I said in the bass vid lol. I just use a drum loop but all the guitar stuff is me.

@nsj Hi Neil, Where is the guitar riff taken from on your wee YouTube videos? 🙏🙂🎸🎶

A bit of bishing bashing and boshing today, got the bridge sorted, alignment is spont on too which is always a relief. Of course I got the laser out and done the logo. Attachment : VideoCapture_...

Not much time today but I did my usual upper fret access carve using a bowl and dish router bit. Attachment : 20231122_173511.jpg

Got the neck pocket done today, sorted most of the shaping around it and also did the neck heel Attachment : 20231121_161854.jpg Attachment : 20231121_173226.jpg Attachment : 20231...

Headstock sorted and main neck carving done, I'll sort the heel once I've done the neck pocket. Attachment : 20231118_161349.jpg Attachment : SquarePic_20231120_17180973.jpg
