It is with sadness that Europe says goodbye to the UK. @marcel Thanks Marcel, it is indeed a sad day for half of the UK. I think it may also see the breakup of the UK as well, which I think is a good...

Bruce was raised by his grandparents in my home town of Evesham. He was very generous and several times bought me some beers in the Royal Oak, whilst we chatted about our mutual love of Deep Purple. ...

OK, can I have another pint? @marcel 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The headstock is shaped and thicknessed, still going to plan so far. @robin I love shape of your headstock and the grain pattern, looks ace.

Good job on the body design, it’s always nice to see an different/oddball shape! @mattbeels Here, we accept you whatever body shape you are Matt. 🤣🤘

@clinton Clinton I love seeing your work, you are a true craftsman/carpenter/luthier etc. Im interested in making some cigar box type instruments, they are my favourite right now. I have never made o...

Your name could be Overbuilt Guitars @mattbeels 🤣🤣 Or it could be “Smaller profit margin Guitars”

How well do the strings stay in the nut? @mattbeels They stay in tune well. Whatever hole you choose (for the string height), you then turn it around and poke it through the other hole. (This convers...

Great job on the neck heel and using a tone block. Did you get it from Grainger Guitars? @mattbeels Thanks man. Yeah I got the block from Grainger Guitar Parts as well as the routing templates. How...

@eddie6string I’m with @mattbeels apart form I’ll go for the dark rosewood fretboard. I also love reverse headstocks. Reverse headstock and rosewood fretboard. Here is one of mine to help you decide...

That Chicago concert really stood out as it was the first time I smelled weed and a bit of an eye opener as we saw a couple having sex under a blanket, it must have been weird for my Dad as well as he...

@blake Hey Blake, I would definitely go with what Mark @markbailey has suggested. When I started collecting my tools, I bought a small bandsaw and I soon realised that I could definitely benefit from ...

This is my favourite song in this moment, after reminiscing about my first music concert. At this Iron Maiden concert, the opening song was Moonchild. The stadium went dark, the Em drone from the synt...

Iron Maiden, Manchester Apollo Theatre, UK. Wednesday November 30th 1988. I was 15 years old. It was the Seventh Son Tour and it just blew me away. My friends and I hung around outside after the show...

I think the safe thing would be to make a jig to hold the body at an angle with a built in pattern to route the jack socket hole. Going to take up some space in the shop..or...It might be possible to ...

I am back! @louis-kerckhove Hey Louis, I’m glad your exams went well and that you are back making your guitar. Your pictures are great as is the work you have done so far. Tomorrow i will be instal...

If I did the whole thing with yellow, sanded back to different levels then blue round the edges I might get a three colour burst effect - yellow, green, blue. @rocknroller912 Oooooooohhhhhhhhh..........

@jamesbisset I think whatever you go for, it should be design unto itself, not dependent on the shape of the headstock. You will probably be making many guitars so it should be something you can apply...

yeah I thought of that, so far it hasn’t really been necessary but when I catch a typo after posting my ocd tends to kick in a bit @mattbeels Yeah me too. It’s seriously irritating isn’t it?

@mattbeels How about “Edit Guitars” as a name?
