There are those that make wooden truss rod covers but they’re strong enough. I’ve seen the wooden ones (Taylor for example) split along the grain. Sure they look good and add a nice touch but they ult...

@boo What would you all do with a guitar you bought that had plastic cavity covers on? Would you make something out of wood or some other material? With bought guitars I simply leave them. I wouldn...

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... 🎶🙂🎸🙏

On the subject of stolen riffs - There are only 8 notes give or take some #&flats so it's difficult not to do what someone else has already done. Listen to these 3 songs...... 🤔...

I'm not a fan of country & western, but I do love Johhny Cash. So here's my favourite song today:

And I’m gearing up to prove it!

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. That theory has been tested many times ... I've got the guitars to prove it 😋

Cheers@boo. I have thought about maybe using ebony veneers to make scratch plates but I imagine it wouldn't be scratch free for long. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

#plasticCoversMatter ✊ I have to say that I do like a scratch plate.......as I've mentioned many times before that I'm a bit of a Fender Freak...... I am looking into alternatives to plastic ...

I’ve heard back from Deej. He’s OK, but has had to minimise screen time for a while, hence very little online time. Expect to see him back here in a week or three. 👍
