@tv1010101 Can you try now and see what happens?

@tv1010101 My bag of turnips is now empty - let's see if that worked?

@tv1010101 Arg. OK let me try the turnip method...

I have too many guitars..said no one ever!?

Morning all, I recently joined and I thought it was about time I introduced myself. I've been building guitar and bass projects for the past couple of years, mostly basses and always using recycled n...

No. The string tension will be identical unless you change the tuning or the scale length... Jol Danzig sets up a rig to test string tension: If proof were needed that @markbailey is ALWAYS RIGHT!

One more comment before I take a deep breath and move my drawings to the Design Your Own Guitar section. I’ve now read the Jim English ’Making a Laminated HollowBody Electric Guitar’ book and, with t...

@frocesterbill Thanks Bill. I do think that KISS is always a good principle. I’m just struggling to work out what I’ll actually be buying. Zinc? Aloominum? I do fancy a black bridge though. I reckon a...

Good discussion point actually. The success of the Gibson Juniors in a rock context was usually put down to the simple wraparound bridge bolted to a slab of mahogany. That was my starting point. It’s ...

I’ve got Wilkinson wrapovers on two of my guitars and they work really well - intonation is very good.

I’ve been tweaking the design, and researching the hardware. The Wilkinson wraparound seems to come in different metals and prices depending where you look - £25 for zinc according to axesrus.com but ...

This style of construction is definitely one of the most tricky...

@markbailey This might upset you: But yes, I see your point. And the p/u switch via the neck p/u opening? I scaled the ƒ holes while scaling down the Yamaha sketch. I might have to restore to origina...

Remeber that you would actually have to install the controll knobs thru the f-holes - that is why they are usually located fairly close to the opening. You might need small hands or a nimble friend wi...
