@swepri I then attach the routing template to the neck blank, cut off the excess on the bandsaw and route the remaining waste off. Attachment : IMG_20230708_142823_resized_20231009_122242599.jpeg

@swepri If you are thinking of doing a parallel headstock, Fender style, then you can do the truss rod either end. I’ve always done it at the headstock end but I’ve recently bought some dual action tr...

@robin Well done! I’m glad you landed on the ground at a safe pace that you could walk away from it. 😆 You got more than your target. The air ambulance is such an important service here in Sc...

@robin No problem, maybe I’ll need it someday, best to pay things forward. No problem with flooding here.

@robin There is your target money, just land on something soft. 😉

@rathius Good for you man, sounds like you had a great day. Can you tell us if you enjoyed the whole episode or not, it didn’t quite come across in your post! 😆 I felt the same way when I met...

Sign up for the course.

@tyreman That is wild and cool. My only issue with it is a practical one, I think it will be top (head) heavy when playing. Unless you have some counter weight at the back of the body, I feel the head...

@koendb It looks truly amazing, I wonder what it sounds like. 😉

Nice one James, looks great. I’m going to have to have a go at making one soon, everyone seems to be building acoustic instruments in recent times.

@koendb The most wonderful of wonderful things. 🏆🥇

@rathius and all, I do have more pictures of my progress with this build, I thought I’d updated but obviously not. I’ve still not completed this build but it just needs putting together. It’s all in b...

I don’t know but I’m currently looking at using a Floyd but I’m doing my research first. I’m looking at how different it will be to make a neck with the locking nut. I wish I could answer your questio...

@nsj Ha, superb. Nice collection.

@robin Congratulations on the grandchild Robin.

@tv101 I’ve heard a rumour that some do, yes! 😆 Myth and legend?

@tyreman Superb! A lovely build and inspiration for the rest of us. Proud of you man! ✊

@nsj Looks stunning as usual. Are you like me that your guitar collection is outgrowing the space in your house or do you sell your creations on? Do you make them for yourself or for customers?

@koendb It’s stunning work, I’m so impressed. It’s definitely a whole different ball game to making electric guitars. Sure a lot of fundamental skills are the same but the tools and skill set required...

Looks like a wipe-on poly for the final top shiny shiny finish. I keep meaning to make some up and give it a go. I take it you have to be very careful when wiping the first coat on so as not to ruin t...
