I think I’ll buy some new guitar cables as well, just to be on the safe side. @TV1010101 @david-johnson09

Here are few more alternatives. I’m building up a collection. Attachment : 28766811-BD58-42E5-B22B-E543A5E8AAC9.jpeg Attachment : AB53F2B8-7B45-42B6-AD61-030C592F3AC5.jpeg Attachment ...

I purposely seek out different and alternative fretboard woods, I have a real dislike for the traditional (that’s just me). This Tele neck has a Zebrano (Zebrawood) fretboard. This scarf neck has a W...

Posted by: @ I remember I did some wiring on a build a while ago and I was getting all the buzzing after checking and rechecking again and again but couldn’t find the problem. I’d had enough at that...

Try something a bit more exotic like Panga Panga! Standard or highly figured. Attachment : 24E258F1-5D7B-4857-9D22-94369E253BCA.jpeg Attachment : 88606182-33D1-49A4-8581-6736E5F36862.jpeg

@david-johnson09 Nice work! I hate soldering too, I always get earthing problems. Ahhhhhhhhhh........

I will add that this is only for electric guitars, not acoustic.

I find the best way with painting wood, as that is the substrate we are using for guitar building, is to wipe everything down with a damp cloth, this raises the grain. Sand it all flat again and then ...

@darrenking That is some pretty nifty kit you have Darren, I also have kit envy like @TV1010101 I’ll give Sykes Timber a look too. Thanks.

Time for me to go and watch this. ?

I would use Rustins or Aquacoat. What is the reason you don’t want to use them? Ok Aquacoat is expensive but it’s good and ok Rustins you may have to re-apply that’s fine. When I worked as a vehicle ...

Wow! Nice routing and fantastic router bits. Yes I will send the drawing Darren as soon as I get a chance. It’s been a bit mad here last few days, my mother-in-law died a couple of weeks ago and we ha...

@darrenking I forgot to reply to you when you told me about your experience at that business convention. I can’t stand the way some people are, why they have to be that rude and bad mannered is just b...

I also have a couple of Hot Slags, always a good moment! ??????????????????? These can also clean up nicely when the guitar volume is reduced but still maybe too hot for Jazz. Attachment : 52AC5...

These are my new Iron Gear Metal Machine humbuckers ?????????????? Attachment : 43226072-3DD9-41F7-A837-35990D555B97.jpeg Attachment : 61783DDC-ACDB-4AD2-8A16-AFC5BE6DEF4F.jpeg

I would try the Iron Gear Alchemist single coil P90 in humbucker format for the neck pickup and put a standard Rolling Mill in the bridge (not the overwound version). It probably was me that has menti...

Not heard of grain gravy before, let us know how you get on and try not to eat it!

I am enjoying it more and more. I’ve built a few in a row recently and I think that is a great way to hone the skill and reinforce my understanding of the process. Indeed it is good to try and build d...

@tv1010101 Yeah, that is the very idea my good man! I’ve got a build coming up that requires something like this, he only wants a bridge pickup and doesn’t want a scratch plate. If I use a thin (8mm) ...

@tv1010101 Very nice and a job well done sir! @markbailey Could you not route the neck pocket, glue the neck in and then laminate a top on to cover the neck joint? One could use the neck pocket routi...
