Ooooooooo....... I hadn’t thought of that actually Herb, great idea! I thought of just gluing some shims on either side of the cavity so it will be a tighter fit. I don’t mind a bit of a gap on the t...

I’ve just realised I’ve posted this in the wrong section, it should have been in the Guitar ER section. Doh!

I wonder if any of you could help me solve a problem. I decided to install a string ferrule block into the back of a Tele build but I’ve stupidly used the wrong size router bit. It’s done the job but...

Excellent! I’ve still not got around to building an acoustic, just electrics so far. Old tools are great if you spend some time cleaning, sharpening and perhaps replacing handles. A lot are made from...

Welcome Jonathan, I really hope you enjoy building your first guitar here with Mark. Are you building an electric or acoustic? Herb is right with his warning, it is addictive. Haha...... Take your ti...

Interesting project there Herb. I have a similar acoustic that my friend picked up at an auction and it doesn’t even have a truss rod. I’ll dig it out of the attic I think.

Very nice. I love the Birdseye Maple and binding, that’s something else I haven’t done yet. Top job Edwin.

Cool!

Right, I am one of Paul Gilbert’s online Rock Guitar students at ArtistWorks and they have a PM function. People don’t tend to use it on a regular basis as it’s not very good. As students we tend to u...

That’s great! Thanks Herb and Mark, you’ve given me some good info there, enough to get started. I’ll start designing. Much appreciated.

I think this is a great build, I love the shape and the cavities. I must say the colour is a little too dark for my taste as well but don’t let that take anything away from this guitar build.

Overall, it looks stunning, from a distance. The back and sides are like a mirror and so is the front apart from the contaminated areas. I think I will have to do the front again, if I want it to be ...

I’m just going into the garage to have another look. I’ll report back soon.

I am definitely definitely definitely interested in doing a finishing course. Would you do an online or workshop course or both? Whatever form it takes, sign me up! I can understand all of the points...

Yeah, I may have overreacted a bit. It just looked really bad on the first coat. I thought I had cleaned the surface enough before applying lacquer but obviously not, I must have had something on my h...

Turnip turnip turnip turnip turnip.............. TURNIP!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........????????????

I used 2k clearcoat again and I got some fisheye on the front. I’m not sure why but I managed to bury most of it on the second coat. It’s not a perfect finish by any means but I’ll see how it is in ab...
