Ok, so I have now glued my first neck on with WHITE glue! GREAT! You will thank yourself if you ever have to remove it...we are building in future repairability...(it happens) BTW, you do all know t...

Posted by: darrenking Hey, I'd have a plan for that. A vacuum jig that I could position over the bridge to allow me to machine it off in layers until I got down to the bare sound board again. This wou...

Ok, so I have now glued my first neck on with WHITE glue! BTW, you do all know that Titebond is just very good PVA with a yellow/brown dye added right? I’m not knocking it, it is a fantastic glue, but...

Yes I suspect those figures are to impress us...Truthfully - for our purposes the amount of pressure does not matter much - as long as the pieces are held firmly together and you have squeeze-out all ...

Hi Mark and thanks for the feedback. Yes, I used yellow glue, but I turned all the screws back and forth after about an hour to make sure that they were reasonably free and this ended up not be much o...

Hey Darren - That is genius! Thanks for sharing that one...Hope the bolts come out OK for you - A little wax on the threads, in the area around the glue, would help them release(next time)... but I'm ...

Another important step this evening- I glued the bridge on to the ziracote guitar. I don’t have any clamps suitable for this so I decided to make up a pair of thick laminate plates that could be screw...

? ? I suspected it wasn't lacquer thinner, but Armagnac? I wouldn't have guessed.............. You'd better take a trip to the wine cellar, because this guitar is already absolutely stunning.............

Hi Edwin, I’m astonished that you couldn’t tell that the glass contained Armagnac rather than brandy! ? It will be a champagne glass in the photo when the guitar has strings attached! Possibly as soon...

Glad to have helped! It's wonderful to be a part of this and see your instruments take shape... Thanks for sharing!!

Whoa! Ignoring the things like the birth of my children, I will remember today as being one of the key milestones in my life on a par with the occasion on which I first sucked air out of an dust extra...

Anyway, sod the boring posts about glue - it lives!! In fact, more than that, it sings - beautifully! Bubbly has been consumed and guitar well picked and strummed. It has great bass resonance and lo...

BTW Major Hero points available to anyone who posts video review of course with audio of guitar being played/strummed !

On the rear of the guitar I’ve noticed that the low E string ferrule is offset quite considerably and I don’t know why. Can someone enlighten me as to why it has to be that far out please? Hmm... It ...

Cheers Adam - added!

I'd love to see how to make a bolt on neck, a multi laminate thru neck and maybe a paint spraying course.

Yesssssssssss!!! Finally! I win something ?
