Here is my contribution to this conversation about finishes on maple fretboards That is brilliant @boo.

Me too. It would have been a lot more difficult back then though, we didn’t have the resources we have now. Yep me too @boo @peebee plus I didn’t have the funds back then...

Been decorating the house this last week, keep going into the garage for tools etc and seeing my first build in progress, waiting for me to get back to it .....need to get on with it but another week ...

Love this attention to detail...the rest of the build is great as well...

And I would like to point out that this bit was done by hand! 🙂 🙂 Very Impressive. 👍 🙏🎸🙂🎶

is there any reason not to use epoxy? I'm not sure that epoxy counts as a "tone glue". Why wouldn't you use good old favourite Titebond? If it's good enough for the boss ... And you should leave...

[PS] ^^^ @mattbeels!

I’ll put another one on my next order. Looks easy enough to wire into a guitar (just put it between the hot/earth and output jack). The circuit board is small enough - just needs space in the cavit...

@tv101 Sounds like a nice idea. I did see them live once (sans Roger of course) at the Oakland Coliseum on The Division Bell tour. To say that it was one of the most amazing shows that I’ve ever seen ...

OK, Pink Floyd, and referring back to my earlier comment about Floyd & albums ... my favourite Floyd album is .... Pulse. This YT version is sacrilege really. Get the DVD, close the doors,...

Thanks Again @tv1 Looks like its lacquering then 😀. I prefer a satin type finish on the necks, so I think that should still work on the fretboard I presume you would still need a sanding seale...

This as well as being very expensive seems to be mainly sold for guns, so not sure if there is anything else that is specifically for guitars / wood. I've used Tru-Oil on guitar woods - it's not *jus...

Thanks for the replies @TV1 and @Deej. Was hoping Mark would have a take on this. I have been looking through interweb and it seems people are suggesting a few coats of TRU-OIL on maple fretboards. Th...

I also put this circuit together this afternoon Attachment : image.png That does "what it says on the tin" too - I've just plugged it in front of my little 5w valvey amp. I'm half tempted to f...

How does it sound so far? It's a real lo-fi, low-wattage, basic amp! The controls are Grit, Gain, Tone and Volume. Tone doesn't do a lot, it's mainly about how dirty you want the sound to be! Ridic...

@tv101 Simply awesome! How does it sound so far?

Next job is to make a pretty little box for the amp. For the last one, I had some off cuts of thin mahogany lying around which was *almost* wide enough - hence the centre strip! Attachment : 20200...

I should probably check whether it works though ... Well, it didn't work. 😣 😡 😥 😪 So, time to rip it to pieces, and start again. Except ... I'll just poke around ...

Our music libraries must have a lot of overlap @Russ!! I'm listening to a lot of different music these days @tv101. When I was younger I was obsessive about the band's I was into. I knew all about ea...
