Awesome @petersoyanov ?

@markbailey this bench works best for repairs or mounting electronics... the instrument is up in the air held by a contraption so no tools bits and other stuff go underneath. the second thing is it gi...

GREAT! Thanks for sharing that @petersoyanov I'll be demoing a super simple version of this on Sat - Guitar Making Tech - Clamping and Holding

There it is guys - the bench I was speaking about earlier. I need to mention again that this is not my idea. It was given to me by Nino Marsolo - A hobby luthier from Zurich. Attachment : Gui...

It is the MicroJig system with dovetail grooves. The clamps costs an arm and a leg, but it is worth every swedish krona.

@liebe I followed the great step-by-step process from @boo that he posted in this thread: I admit, drilling the access hole was not the easiest step. I also prepared a bit more than in the pictures a...

Got the comfort carves done today. I had a go with the grinder and sanding disc on the arm carve but gave that up and went back to good old hand tools. Attachment : 1000028878-01.jpeg Atta...

Today was a little tidy here and there and then onto bridge fitting, pickup routing, control cavity and wire holes. I set the depth stop on my drill press to about 20mm and drilled the corners then ro...

Today I pressed the frets in with my brand new fret press. It is a bit fiddly to use the press, but the end result is more consistent than using a hammer, in my opinion. Filed the sharp fret ends down...

So far, I have only made set neck guitars. Time to try something else - a jazzmaster inspired build. I got some great advice from @Boo on making the neck, so I started out. I bought some maple last su...

@cafebrouge Welcome to the forum! I can't help you with your question, but your guitars look great! 👍

Hi GM community! I’m about to embark on a Tele build - my third build (pics below of first two) - and decided I should join a forum because I’ll definitely need some help. I’m looking to do an HH Te...

@nsj That’s good n’y’ews about the lack of toxicity. Wonder if the guy you bought your guitar from is still in the village. 👍😃🎸

@brie St Cyrus! That was it. Gourdon is past johnshaven. I was trying to remember them in order going from Montrose lol. Bought my first electric from a guy in St Cyrus, he played the cult lil devil o...

@nsj Love that Yew top, full of character, just wondering if you need to take any special precautions working with it as it’s quite toxic? St Cyrus by the way - you were close with your guess👍...

Got a little bit more done today, top cut out and been cutting down the centre block to allow room for the top. Added a bit of angle for more bridge clearance Attachment : 20231025_005014.jpg ...

@swepri A40640 module, do fancy doing other stuff but that means making the effort to learn and I'm not always good at that lol I've seen guys on guitar building fb groups doing all sorts

@brie Maybe Gourdon, Johnshaven or Bervie. Got cousins up that way.

@nsj That’s about what I plan to do when gluing in the neck, time it so the heating is on so it gets a few hours in the warm and leave it overnight in the relevant warm. You’re not too far away from u...
