Thank you @koendb and @boo for your comments. Being complimented by your peers is the highest form of appreciation there is. Thanks guys. And Boo, when you make the jump to properly hollow, I’ll do an...

it is for a little girl after all She will be so happy with this! Nice job @Boo!

True but it is a potent string break point. I think some of the old 50s and 60s designs have a lot of room for improvement @rocknroller912 I dont think string break is the issue, but tuning stabilit...

@darrenking That looks amazing! Well done !

Drum roll…………. Hey, it’s got strings on!! After a huge delay in my extracting the necessary digit I have actually finished my Maccaferri Petite Bouche! No excuses, I just kept finding reasons not to s...

Perfect @boo. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

it will be rubbing on the side on the nut slot which isn’t good for tuning. @rocknroller912 Well on a Les Paul, none of the strings are ligning up with the nut. You just have to cut the nut with a l...

@koendb I think that moving the peg hole may cause an alignment problem with the nut as the string won’t be pulling in a straight line, it will be rubbing on the side on the nut slot which isn’t good ...

@boo. To the future, we look, we must. 🤣 🎶🎸🙂🙏

You could plug the hole and drill again where you wnt it. If you don't move it too far, the washer will cover the repair @Robin Yes indeed. I 'll decide that just before final sanding and finishi...

@koendb but it would have looked a bit nicer if that one came in a bit more from the center. You could plug the hole and drill again where you wnt it. If you don't move it too far, the washer will c...

Wow. We've made 100 pages of favourite songs......if I ever have a spare week or two I might go back and look over them. 🙏🙂🎸🎶

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment..... couldn't meet a nicer guy. 🎶🎸🙂🙏

Hi Bill, I have never had to remove a bridge but, if I did, I absolutely agree with @rocknroller912. If there is no reason to reuse the existing bridge then planing or routing it off will do far less ...

@Rocknroller912 Thanks for that - sounds like a plan - I wondered about heat to soften glue but as you say as the bridge is not being reused then carefully remove/destroy………..

@frocesterbill Repairs like this are mostly what I do rather than new builds, so here is my suggestion although I’m open to being told I’m wrong. Recently I’ve done two bridge removals one for the loc...

My acoustic has a problem - there are two splits in the bridge at either end and in front of the saddle. The guitar is an Ashton, Australian make, China built. It was a 50th birthday present from the...

Today, I testfitted the tuners and discovered a small design flaw in my headstock. I should have left a bit more space on a few pegholes, they are rather close to the edge, and, the one for the G stri...

Well, some pictures are in the wrong cronological order 🙂 Yesterday, I flattened the headstock and neck. But apparently, during my rough cut on the bandsaw, I went in to deep on the headstock at one...
