Chuck Berry at 8 years old. Remember it vividly. My obsession with the 335 began soon after.

My First concert was The Scorpions at Glasgow Apollo on 17th May 1980. Tygers of Pan Tang were the support. Hearing hasn't been the same since. The Apollo has been long gone but it was the start of a ...

Hi all, new member here and starting to accumulate the basic tools for an electric build. I’m wondering if i should buy the cheapest bandsaw option or go for the next level. Both options are from Ca...

@eddie6string I’m not yet the right one to ask but most peeps seem to be happy with either Tru or Tung.

Hi James I’m just riffing on a font based on the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh I like the Mackintosh style, that looks good. Maybe you should consider reshaping the end of your headstock to matc...

Have you tried to giving it a little slant, just for a little flow? It looks really good but to my eye is just a bit straight. Just a thought.. @mattbeels Do you mean like an oblique style where the ...

@boo Yeah me too. It’s seriously irritating isn’t it? Totally! forgot to tell you, the edit button doesn’t work. Thanks dude 😂 How about “Edit Guitars” as a name? I’ve got it! WTF G...
