@boo I do like the Schaller stuff boo. I might use some in future builds..........if I ever get this guitar building off the ground. 🤔 🎸🎶🙏🙂

I've not seen that bridge before. Curious as to how the saddles are made to fit the adjustable width range. I'll measure some guitars tomorrow (if work permits - I've got a shit day ahead). I should...

If you want to make doubly, doubly sure, draw it out to scale You drew it out and posted the pics as I was replying!

I *believe* that string spacing at the bridge is usually expected to be ; traditional Gibson = 50mm traditional Fender = 52mm The difference arises from the different bridges used. Obviously, it's ...

My favourite song today is from a Dutch band I saw at a school party 45 years ago.

Inspired by tv, I've chosen my Punk song for today..... This is My Favourite Song For This Moment..... 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@robin thinking of that. Also have a wipe on polyurethane

That looks good Clinton. You can get very narrow masking tape that model makers use, that might be good to mask off the fret wires while you lacquer the fretboard.

Made my first bolt on following the bolt on course. Just had to do it after watching the recent you tube live streams, I decided on 21 frets. Haha. Access to truss rod however, I opted by the headstoc...

@tv101 the headstock is as big as it needs to be, and no bigger. I might have to add a little bump on the end to have room for my logo, I hadn't really thought that one through.

This is headstock style I'm using in my next build, the strings don't get much straighter than that. That is definitely pretty straight!! Very functional too - the headstock is as big as it needs ...

@robin Cheers Robin. I might give it a go. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@boo Are you going to seal them in with some clear coat? Yes I'll be spraying the face of the headstock and the truss rod cover with a clear coat. Hopefully that should make the surround of the tra...

@russ Did you make the transfers yourself I bought the waterslide paper and used Windows Paint to draw the logos, then printed on an inkjet printer. You have to spray them with a clear coat before y...

With the extractor added in as well, the full setup is actually about £800 give or take, bit better than I thought. It’s still £800 I haven’t got. @boo I’d just about managed to persuade myself that...

Tried editing my post above to add another link but the forum's not letting me, so... The link to "Rag n Bone Brown" is when he first got his Mirka. Look at the one below though, it's from a general Q...

Really enjoyed the livestream earlier, can't wait for the next installment! So, lots of interest in the Mirka - me too. I've tried "palm" sanders before, but never really felt comfortable using them o...

built loads of partscasters Hi Peter, welcome to the group. When I first found Mark's livestreams I thought that I would build a partscaster and that would get it out of my system. Once I'd gathered...

Welcome @peter-Johnson. You’ve definitely found the right place if you’re planning on doing some complete builds. There is a huge spread and depth of knowledge here, and all of it freely shared in su...

Hi folks! Just a few words about myself...... I'm 60 (61 in a few days, but still 24 in my head) and live in a small village in South Essex (UK). Started playing guitar at 12, been singing ever since ...
