@robin Is that an oak top with mahogany back? Regarding the bridge, I've seen people make a feature of it so it looks like you sank it on purpose. Might be something to consider. Ps the "F holes"...

Fast forward to now. Something went wrong when I was fitting the neck/body joint. I got a good clean joint but I must have altered the neck angle and height while I was doing it. So I've had to sink t...

Have accidentally deleted my entire "Robin's build #003" post, I thought I just resume from where I was. Maybe a short recap first. This is where it started. Attachment : 20210630_195020.jpg ...

@boo It’s fair enough using Aldi sanders or similar, crack on. I use a cheap Draper random orbital sander that I bought a few years ago when I was painting my boat. I can attach my henry hoover to ...

I looked at them a while ago after watching one of Mark's vids, the over £500 price tag put a stop to any odeas of actually buying one! Ooft! I'm getting on fine with my aldi special though 🤣...

@clinton. 😱 Attachment : image.png 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@clinton Yikes! Luckily it is fixable , but I feel your initial frustration. I've been there too often 🙂

@clinton - that looks BAD - you've done well to save it. That's what I like so much about guitar building - every build seems to throw up an unexpected opportunity to learn something new - aka fix a...

@clinton Nice share the image when completed.

@tv101 saved it. Rasped a contour shape and sanded. Looks good now. Not much of a big deal as I thought it would.

Wow looks good , share the more pictures ..

So you could use a recessed jack then claim the notch is because you use a 90 degree cable that connects to your wireless rig attached to your strap. Art is art, you decide what something is and why i...

Thanks @rathius. This one has been on pause while I tried to get to the end of my working year, and progressed the other build. Almost finished the messy work on the other build now, so will be able t...

Thats a good save @clinton. It looked pretty nasty in the photo. I guess, unless you’re building a faithful re-creation of a well-known design, then most aspects of a build can be flexed to respond ...

Attachment : E2C8DD55-DACD-4EF8-908C-283A9A690AF1.jpeg Just finished grain filling and final sanding. As I start to hang it for sanding sealer, I drop the body gauging it bad. Really? Swamp ash, h...

Posted by: @darrenking @tv101 I recognise those inserts!! I had those tucked safely away in my "might come in handy one day" cupboard! Didn't end up using them (dimensions weren't quite right), but ...

Couldn't you have bought a half-decent replacement compressor for the cost of that Mirka kit?? It's still on my "on day I might justify it" list. In the meantime, I make do with the arm-powered recta...

@tv101 which one are you? 🤣 🤣

@boo Thanks mate, I'm using the gotoh floyds. Get them from axesrus for a cracking price! Brilliant units, hold tune great and a joy to use.
