I think the last one I bought was in about 2015 @Boo - Impressed that you can remember the specific year! I'm either too old with failing memory, or I (used to) buy too many guitars. Before that I ...

Last guitar I bought was a Jay Turser custom jazzbox with floating minu humbucker and a 1964 Epiphone Century. Around 4 years ago.

They rarely get played - they're not very accessible - and I think of them as a collection rather than as playing guitars. @tv101 All of mine are working guitars and all get played. All except one we...

@boo Serendipity boo. 😲

Thanks for all the replies, it’s a great community here and I am pleased to be a part of it. I need to make some sawdust!

Hi there, Paul here PS, Tony here!

Good to "meet" you Paul @peebee 🙂 Over the last couple of years I have been accumulating the tools to get into making my own guitars, electric, the thought of making an acoustic scares the hell out o...

Welcome Paul. I think you should start with Mark's Bandsman but I guess one day you've got to have a go at The Flying V. Cheers, Russ 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Welcome to group Paul. I hope you can get back to work soon, we all need to go on holiday. Meanwhile turn your scrap pine into a guitar, thats what happened when I started just practicing techniques w...

Hi there, Paul here, PeeBee on the forum. I’m 50 and love guitars, they are things of beauty and strange in that they are designed to make sound but are as equally appealing on the eye. I can’t play v...

I thought it might be useful if we could post some images of guitar hardware to help give us some ideas for our guitar builds. Here are a few to get us started. Attachment : 12010400.jpg Att...

@tv101 I do like the Jazzmaster too. 🙂🙏🎶🎸

I was brainwashed by Fender @Russ - I did own a Fender, once. I had a Jazzmaster for about 3 days - took it as a part-trade for something I wanted to sell, and then sold it on really quickly afterwa...

@tv101 Very true Tony. I was brainwashed by Fender from a very young and impressionable age. I would have one of every model they've ever made........ I'd probably even buy up all the Music Man guitar...

I have a small collection of lawsuit period Antorias. If any more of those show up on my radar then it's a yes. Ahhh - I'd exclude something like that @Peter-johnson! I have a small collection of an...

I'm not even a good enough guitarist to justify owning them but I want them just because I'm quite shallow that way. That's easy to say @Russ - but then how good do you have to be to *justify* having...

I've asked myself this question recently, and the answer is.. "I don't know, maybe, depends". As of today, I haven't built anything from scratch yet. so there are guitars out there I'm interested in. ...

I haven't bought a guitar for around 15 years now Tony but if I had money and space I'd love to be making them and buying them. I still would love to have a Fender Jaguar and Mustang. I'm not even a g...

Does anyone here still *buy* guitars, or do you all just make anything that you want o need? I admit, my eye gets taken sometimes by something shiny that I spot on a website (or on a stand on a workbe...

You are overthinking it ... The 50mm spacing humbucker will be perfect for a standard 52mm E-E Bridge Even if the pole pieces do not line up exactly Make the neck normal size
