Good thinking @mattbeels, it’s center lined in my Harley Benton ‘template’ 😂 but that’s so new I haven’t tried with a strap yet. Will definitely give it a whirl this weekend

@cheesewhisk Fun fact, I paid no VAT and no import changes from UPS. That’s always a great feeling! I recently received an order of templates from Potvin Guitars in Canada. First of all it only took...

@russ I’ll keep you posted if I get a bill

No @russ I ordered a Harley Benton on Christmas Eve and paid VAT on they buy ordered this lot on the 2nd Jan @cheesewhisk. I was going to order some Schaller stuff from them but I might hold off unt...

Fun fact, I paid no VAT and no import changes from UPS. Have to say ‘so far’ though as I’m expecting they’ll catch up with it soon enough. Hey @cheesewhisk, did you order it before the 31st December?...

@tv101 Photoshop. That’s what I meant! Err... Ok, I suck at photoshop! Could you shine a liite more light on the process please?

So... did you take a picture of the body before cutting the neck socket? No @mattbeels! Photoshop. That’s also how I got the assistant scantily clad too.

Absolutely amazing @osceola this is really inspiring to see from someone who's just starting out. Great work.

I finally got started on my bandsman, this is my third build, my first since finding the site and live streams. Decided to make up a laminate neck blank and ended up having a slight issue with the thi...

@tv101 Ok, so it was the scantily clad glamorous assistant. Got it, thanks.. So... did you take a picture of the body before cutting the neck socket?
