My favourite song today:

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... quirky or what?! 🎸🎶🙂🙏

This one blows my mind. Not just the exceptionalism of the guitarist, but the fact that there is not a single weak link in the band. Not one.

Posted by: @boo The only thing I’m worried about is if too much wood is taken out of the body (hollowness), whether the guitar would be too heavy and unbalanced, literally. Yes, that is a concern. I...

@boo The fretboard is rosewood. I am planning to do a semi-hollowbody, loosely based on the Bandsman shape. The first build turned out very heavy, so why not try a variation with a thin top and some r...

My favourite song today:

@boo Man, you made me go straight out to the workshop and thickness/plane a new fretboard blank! 👍

Welcome to the forum @roddy, you’ll love it here! That shot of you at the bench is great, it’s a view the rest of us haven’t seen for quite a while as Mark hasn’t been doing vids for some time now. Pe...

@boo I’m guessing he’ll install the posts before the finish on the next one, d’oh!

@boo Looking good! I think I will have to start a new build soon. Hard to resist when seeing other builds... 😀

@boo It looks similar to the stress fractures that I see in the gelcoat on my boat. I would guess that its the expansion around the hole as the post has been driven in or flexing of the wood as its be...

@russ Thanks! Going for a tele style with single coils.

@roddy. Welcome Roddy. Enjoy the ride. What style of guitar are you going for? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

I visited Bailey guitars workshop on Friday for a guitar design session with Mark. I really enjoyed my visit, being in the workshop and seeing the guitars, as well as chatting to Mark and Carol who ar...
