I glued and clamped the fingerboard to the neck yesterday. This morning, after taking the clamps and caul off, I find the fingerboard has twisted off axis by about 1.5mm. I reckon it happened like th...

@tv101 My secret is mighty sight glasses and pilot holes, if I use them I can get them super straight every time 🤣

I think that looks really good - lovely piece of timber for the board, and the dots are super-neat!

Got the holes drilled correctly this time and first thin coat of finish on, tomorrow I'll sand back taking out little marks that I missed before. Attachment : 20230406_142135.jpg Attachmen...

wow

Well neck is glued in, drilled the bridge holes today. For some reason I only used my blind spot when measuring for the tail piece and put it of to one side by 1 or 2mm lol. Anyway plugged now, I'll r...

Today I got the cavity to final depth and made a cover out of the oak. Also got the headstock shaped and drilled. Next up sanding then I can glue in the neck. Attachment : 20230403_195943.jpg ...

@nsj I read on another forum that evo gold supply problems are due to the foundry which makes the metal not being able to source raw materials

@nsj awesome work !

You sound a little disappointed there. Remember, that's not any old plywood. That's special Chinese plywood.

Bargaintastic Mr B! Ideal platform for messing about with pickups 'n' stuff. And shouldn't need much TLC to get it playing nicely. Like the old joke about how to double the value of a Lada (fill th...

That’ll do nicely. 🙂

@jamesbisset 13 - 16k is generally where I like with a bridge humbucker. I find wide variations though from muddy to superb singing clarity in that range.

The jack socket had a misaligned nut forced on. And the humbucker measures around 14.5k, which seems a little unnecessary. No idea what the woods are, but it’s quite heavy. Now I just need to save up ...

I’m quietly working on the guitar neck for my laminated semi hollowbody, and rushed off to Stranraer this morning to get some hardwood strips to make my fingerboard caul. On the way, we popped into a ...
