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...

Thanks! Which effect does it have? There seems to be 30W and 80W versions available. Do you plan to do other stuff than burning logos, like cutting control covers?

@brie I glue up in my shed but then bring it in because it's slightly warmer and at some point there will be heating on, so which ever room is warm is where I'll put it which maybe the living room lol

@brie About 20 miles from Dundee heading towards Glenisla

@swepri neje 3 plus, got it off ebay. I seen a friend using it on his youtube and asked what he was using, he had the 2 plus but it wasn't available so I got the 3 plus. It's bigger than his so I can ...

@swepri Thanks for that, guitar body and neck are now sleeping in the spare bedroom, which has at least a fairly stable temperature. Just hope we don’t get any visitors, they might not like having gui...

@nsj Yesterday, after doing some final shaping of the heel, volute and headstock, I’ve moved the body and neck indoors. They’re in the spare bedroom which isn’t central heated and the temp has been ar...

@nsj Where did you get that laser? What brand? I think you mentioned it earlier, but I can't find it now.

Got the headstock sorted out today, stuck the body template on to get an idea how it will look. And of course I did my logo Attachment : 20231023_155012.jpg Attachment : 20231023_155205.j...

@robin it's been mental but fortunately I'm to high up to be affected, people over Brechin way had to get evacuated and all sorts. Water up about 6ft in the houses and stuff. There's timelapse of the ...
