@markbailey Thanks Mark. 1. Yes, I’ll order a fine marker, that seems like an easy fix. 2. It’s not having a scratch plate so I’m going to fill any gaps, sand it, then use high build primer over it....

@robin Nice work there Robin, thanks for the suggestion, it’s one option. 👍

When I glued this neck into the body, the neck joint looks a little scruffy, has anyone any ideas of how to make it look better? It was all fine during dry clamping but what I think has happened is t...

OK, back to the blackness. 🖤 Unclamped this morning. I’m going to leave it for another day for the glue to cure a bit more before I get the router on it again, just in case. It’s looking a bi...

@mattbeels I’ve also bought a Positive Grid Spark that I haven’t used at all yet. I got it out the box when it arrived and put it straight on a shelf. I got the Yamaha at the same time and that has ju...

I noticed that you have one of the newer THR 10’s, is that a II or III and how do you like it? I’ve had the 10X for years and I love it. @mattbeels It’s a THR30II Wireless and it’s awesome. 🤘...

you've chosen some beautiful places there. If we had the cash, we'd have moved to a coastal or lochside cottage years ago. Independence or not - you'll be warmly welcomed sir. @warmvalves Thank you s...

Time to put the two main parts together permanently, neck into body. Dry clamp first, then add glue and clamp for real. Attachment : 525640A7-E1A9-49EA-BE67-E1C33D41CAF6.jpeg Attachment : ...

@koendb I still like that guitar and what you played, it’s a tricky song. 🔥🤘😜🤘🎸🔥

@russ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its a long time since I was at the football though, Alex Ferguson was still playing for them then. @robin I could crack an obvious joke about age here but I wouldn’t be so rude to you Robin. 🤣...

Hope you don't mind me chiming in here. I think we all watch the YT luthier and woodworking vids - man, the ones which make me laugh are the ones where the expert says something like 'here's an inexpe...

If I can learn to *properly* do setups, refrets, make nuts, fix dents dings and scratches, know a bit more about the electrics etc, I'll be a very happy bunny @warmvalves Yep, that’s me too. 👍...

Sounds like me @russ Yep, you are 3rd on the leaderboard and you haven’t even built a guitar yet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When you move to Scotland....... and if you're not too far from Glasgow......and if you've got the time......you could apply for their Full Time Stringed Instrument Making courses to get you on your A...

the courses are at Glasgow Clyde College, Anniesland. It is, it says a Guitar Restoration Course (the short courses you mentioned). From the blurb and the few pics to be found, it's basically, you tak...

A new guitar deserves a new case. @bpower The perfect fit. Very well done sir. 👍
