Hi Steve You also mention that the bridge should be offset from the scale length line by 1.5mm and 4.5mm, Just as Boo and Clinton said, your line at 6mm from the scale line is where you drill your p...

@boo my first fender style build. Surprisingly easier. Even the headstock thanks to the bolt on online course.

That looks awesome Boo.

Trevor Wilkinson is a smart man. With that type of wrap around bridge, mark out 6mm from the scale lenght which you already did. That line is the mark of your bridge posts where you will drill based o...

Hi Boo, If you email me your address I'll send you a couple of little stainless kill switches. I've got hundreds of them! Darren Attachment : IMG_1558.JPG

Hi Mark/Guys Not sure if you saw my direct message Mark, but I thought I would post here too.. I'm watching the video on aligning the bridge but I'm afraid I got a bit confused...I've attached a few i...

@boo what is your scale lenght? Looks good.

That sounds like a wise decision Dodgedude. Have a look through my post "First Practice Build" and learn from my mistakes, most of them when using the router.

So I got scared working on the $450 flame maple body so this weekend I went to my local hardwood store and bought a piece of mahogany big enough to make another one piece body. Now having some practic...

I only ask about weight because it’s unusual (in my experience anyway!) to use something like flamed maple for a solid body. More typically you’d use that for a stunning cap on top of a plainer (and p...

@tv101 it's just under 2" but im going to be putting a deep carve into it and planing the top down for the neck angle and a decent sized belly cut so hopefully it won't be too heavy. I haven't weighed...

@rockpile99 it's not going to be a super thick body thankfully, so hopefully that will help with the weight. If it comes out at 12lbs I'll just have to suffer. At least it will look great on the wall ...

mmmm wood porn 🙂 That's going to look so good ... You worried about weight or just going to suffer for your art?

Wow !!! Are you building a solid flamed maple (1 piece) body? That’s going to be a bit special / unusual. Normally, a 1 piece cap is special enough! Not surprised that piece of wood was so expensiv...

@robin me and my dad did a custom guitar about 8 years ago. We bought a stewmac neck and modeled the guitar after an Ibanez that I had, and still have. So I have some experience with woodworking and g...

@94dodgedude Is this your first build, I'm a novice, just putting the finishing touches to my first build now. I've made lots of mistakes along the way. My advice would be to watch all the videos on M...

I ordered some templates from Guitar Building Templates out of Florida, left my wood in the attic for a couple of months to dry, and did a rough cut on a newly acquired small band saw. Here was the re...

Just searched for that Suhr and I found it, here's the guitar that is the inspiration for my build. Attachment : 20201121_071102.jpg $7500 brand new, but absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully I can ma...

So probably 6 or 7 years ago I saw a one piece flamed maple blue Suhr and thought that was one of the coolest looking guitars I've ever seen. It was $7500 so there was no way I could afford it. This ...

@deej Yup keep believing it. I’m so hooked right now. I think about it constantly.
