I seem to remember reading or hearing somewhere that Jimi’s RH Strat was simply turned upside down and strung for the LH Jimi with no changes to the pick ups or electrics. Does anybody know if this is...

Which stains / oils? I’ve been using Crimson’s stains exclusively for a few years now, and not had that issue. I’ve used crimson stains and their finishing oil...but I’ve used Danish, Liberon finish...

, it was purely a joke Ah, well, in that case .... 😆

@johnnierox-boo I’ve got a confession to make, .......... (I’m so ashamed)........... I used to buy kit guitars to build at home It’s OK ... your secret is safe with me. I don’t see anything wrong w...

I think the risk with a loose truss rod is the “truss rod rattle” effect. Thats not a good effect ... 🙄

Cheers @johnnierox-boo. I did think about doing all sorts of fancy things with pickups and switching .... but ended up with it being about as traditional as it could possibly be! I can’t take any cr...

The truss rod slot didn't go well. I had a practice on a bit of scrap and although my router edge guide is a bit shoogley, it turned out ok. Not so good on the actual neck, the slot got a bit wide in ...

I got a bigger see through base made for my router now from 6mm makralon. Also glued two cheeks on to the neck to make it wide enough for the headstock. This turned out not to be a good idea as I now...

I’ve used stain and oil. It does lift some of the stain but if you leave long enough between drying and coats it usually comes out grand 👍🏻

the best book om making electric guitars, preferably covering solid bodies, semi-solids, and arch tops. I'm not sure that there is one book that covers all styles. The usual "bible" for electrics is ...

I recently bought a used but mint copy of the Cumpiano and Natelson book which Mark recommended a few weeks ago during one of the live YouTube events. It’s certainly a great book. The only thing I wis...

I hope all is ok @johnnierox-boo and you got everything sorted.. @ Markbailey I set the reminder beforehand...

Iv'e got started on the neck at last. Attachment : 20200919_155816.jpg I drilled and screwed the base plate my power saw to the underside of my ancient black & decker workmate. So now I'v...

I drilled and screwed the base plate my power saw to the underside of my ancient black & decker workmate. So now I've got a saw table to cut two strips from my mahogany plank. Brilliant ingenuit...

You’re probably right @TV1010101

@markbailey thanks - truss rod rattles no more!

Just send to Bill in Frocester..........

What’s the address @frocesterbill

That gives me an idea ... You build some, send them to me. "They're not mine, they're Deej's". I build some, send them to you. "They're not mine, they're tv1010101's" That gives me an idea ......

Hope tightening the truss rod worked out the rattle. My wife likes the wall hangers and to find it in all parts of the house. She is resolved to the fact that decorative art pieces can be hung. A few ...
