Fantastic job Neil, as usual. It’s a beautiful top, I love cherry, especially with coloured epoxy.

@russ I like that, it’s weird and different. 🤘😁🤘

Can’t tell from a photo. You could try gluing and clamping it, see what happens. If it doesn’t work, don’t forget to salvage the truss rod before you burn it.

@nsj Luckily, he would hate a 5 string bass so I think I’m safe. 😆 However, I better not tell him I don’t want to build a 5 string, otherwise he might ask me to make him one just to annoy me. ...

@russ It depends which era, early or 80s and 90s. 😆 For me, it would be 80s. Bands like KISS, some of Paul Stanley’s guitars were outrageous. Motley Crue, Skid Row etc. They are all of my gla...

Hello Benjamin from Belgium, welcome to the great addiction. Which course are you doing? Electric or acoustic? Whichever one it is, enjoy. Don’t forget to ask us any questions here if you need to, ...

@nsj Great work as usual Neil. I must build a bass soon. My last customer was very happy with his Tele guitar, he’ll want a bass to go with it (he is a bass player after all). I love the green colou...

Test on scrap!!! @clinton You know how Mark always says test on scrap? Well, I've just tested some candy paints over metal flake on this scrap body. I burst some black candy around the edges first ...

It's been a while but I've finally got around to starting another metal flake paint job. I've made this Strat type body out of a big chunk of Sapele I've had for years. All the usual prep, carving and...

@petersoyanov Could you not use individual string bridges like these?

@robin The person to ask on processing it is Eddie. I’ve forgotten his handle on this website. Do you know who I mean? Eddie Cameron, @eddie6string @electricladyguitars

@liebe Thanks Dan, I appreciate it. It’s a good job those foam brushes are cheap then? Cheers again. 👍

@liebe It’s Chestnut product isn’t it? Sorry, I think you’ve mentioned it in this thread before and I’ve had a quick look but I’m dyslexic and I can get lost in a sea of words.

@liebe Yeah ok, I’ll order some and plan another build soon. 🤘😁🤘

@liebe It’s gone really well for you hasn’t it, they look great. I’m definitely going to try this finishing product out. I’m a spray guy as you know but these results are proving that great finishes c...

Very nice work indeed. I’ll say what I always say when I see an acoustic build, one day I must have a go at building an acoustic. However, I’m always scared because I know how obsessed I am with makin...

@clinton Always good to see your builds and this is no exception. Does all the hardware pop off when it gets angry? 💚😡
