Neck ready for fretboard. I’ll be using that ebony fretboard in the picture in my previous post in this thread. I’m doing a 14” radius on this one. My first was 16” radius, #2 was 12” radius. I want t...

So I’m starting build #3. Gonna try to do better at documenting this one. Heres where I am at the moment. Attachment : 75AE1D6C-F710-4751-81B3-CD07D4C5DC59.jpeg Attachment : FF66868E-3333-4...

Hi @tv101Yes, they played the OGWT in the early seventies and their set is available on YouTube. Speaking of OGWT, I went to see Ron Sexsmith at the Union Chapel on Tuesday and he was introduced on st...

Hey Darren @darrenking! I recorded that a week or two ago. Not got around to watching it yet though. (Should be on iPlayer for anyone interested). Think they were on OGWT or similar back in the d...

If you missed the recent documentary 'The Right to Rock' about the first real all girl rock band, Fanny, then you must watch it. Truly awesome and still playing and recording in their 70's. Here is wh...

@jamesbisset I always thought you had the hump about something just couldn’t work it out, so I’m clear on what it is now thanks

This wouldn't be important if I was making a double cutaway or no cutaway - it’s only significant if the guitar is not symmetrical across the centreline. But if I’m making a concave mould, then the m...

@jamesbisset Nice work James. Really looking forward to this one progressing. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@jamesbisset Can you see what it is yet? Once the back and front is on, is the cutaway going to trap the mould in place? I've been making the moulds for my acoustic and was wondering if that would ...

@jamesbisset The mould is mirrored?

It was at the point where we decided to use the mould as a jig, that I realised I’d made the most profound, blindingly obvious mistake right at the very beginning of this build. And no-one seems to ha...

Finally getting down to the actual building of this guitar! Unlike solid sides, these laminations have rough, uneven edges and are not yet cut to size. So one edge was sanded flat on a sanding board, ...

Got some routing done today, just the control cavity then it's drill the wire holes. Hopefully when it comes time to string up it all looks good! Attachment : 20230506_175246-01.jpeg

@russ baddumtish! 🤣

@nsj Looks like you had a close shave with this one Neil. 😉. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Got the frets in yesterday and today I got on with side markers, carving the neck, volute and heel a bit and also got the neck pocket routed. I was thinking of adding a tiny angle to the heel so I cou...

Today I was able to sand back and get a look at how things were going, so far pretty good. Had to add a tiny bit more resin in a couple of spots but it's getting there. Attachment : 20230501_15372...

Ok I'm at a bit at a standstill while this stuff cures. Fret markers are the aluminium tubing again but filled with the epoxy, can't wait til it's cure and I can sand everything flush. Attachment :...

Last week, I trimmed the edges of the top and back, with a chisel Attachment : IMG_1064.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1066.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1058.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1057.jpeg ...

It's a bit of a stretch to call this a "song" (favourite or otherwise), but I wanted to share this - some of you might like it!
