I am pretty sure that you will find that very few guitars are ever built 'in the right order'! We get distracted, we want to see how the next bit will look, we forget to drill holes - important holes,...

I signed up as a premium member a few weeks ago, but I didn't see a section in the build your own guitar course on headstock veneer. Maybe I didn't look everything over. But the videos on that course ...

I just know that someone will get their rocks off on this one! I saw a video of his first prototype and this has come quite along way since then. I kind of like the idea of being able to make pick ups...

@darrenking Awesome! Thanks a lot for the positive reply, 😉. I’ll have to get to work on putting some files together so I’ll be in touch with that hopefully in early January, cheers!

Hi Matt, Yes I am more than willing to have a go at this type of thing for you. The cost will very much depend on how you are able to present the information. If you can provide .dxf, .dwg, Adobe Illu...

Not really, Koa is relatively light but hard. It is a 2 inch body.

All the ideas are great!!! My ultimate goal is to get into making archtop guitars. Cheers everyone!!!

@mattbeels This is how I've done it ... Using a very thin router bit in my Dremel to make the rough cut ... Attachment : 20200816_170053.jpg Then using a thin file to straighten up the edges of...

Yeah that and how to rout/cut a blade switch into a body please.

@markbailey scalloped fretboards and asymmetrical neck profiles please!

Its not to do with guitar building but I think it would be awesome to see a live stream of Mark and Carol doing a gig!! That would be a nice treat, plus viewers could donate money for it like super ch...

No problem. Just email me a dimensioned sketch of what you need and I'll machine it @darrenking I’ve recently received my Bailey order and I’m very happy with the quality of the Bandsman templates, c...

@boo That’s a great story! Experience’s like that are really special, especially since meeting your heroes can go horribly wrong. In your case that must have been great to meet him in a relatively no...

I’ll check my Bandsman plan later and let you know that distance (unless Boo does it first!). I've emailed you 🙂

Fortunately, it's not a very large kitchen!! Does that mean that I should hold off on booking any exotic foreign holidays on the back of it? I think you’ll probably be able to book all the hol...

Hi Boo, No problem. Just email me a dimensioned sketch of what you need and I'll machine it over Christmas That was what I was thinking of too @darrenking - when I asked about a neck template to matc...

Hi Bill, I get that, but if the the taper is constant for the full length of the neck, and the neck pocket end is the same for all guitars, then this will mean that the nut width is automatically redu...

Think the idea is that the neck pocket should have the same rate of taper as the neck taper template and the neck should only just not fit into the neck pocket so that with a little sand it is a good ...

The neck taper jig is just a long thing with a two straight but not quite parallel edges - you can use it for any scale length and different nut widths.........

Hi Boo, So is there no difference in the taper of the neck section for different scale lengths or is the difference so small that it doesn't matter? Darren
