Good use of your new half price clamps @russ Yep, I can’t fault them, I use them for everything now. Most of my old plastic clamps have broken, Aldi and Lidl. Cheap crappy clamps are definitely not a...

That fretboard is a nice piece of wood. I leave that unpainted. @tv101 Yeah, it’s a very nice piece of Ebony from Mark, I love the grain. Yep, it’s the only bit of the guitar that won’t have paint on...

OK, fretboard on. No going back now. Attachment : 747DCE31-058D-4D5A-B2FE-E0002860B6BF.jpeg Attachment : 7F53D164-A7ED-4DD7-BAEE-5FE6B8C5A9B6.jpeg Attachment : E7198639-6DAB-485C-9F...

@marcel A very nice guitar indeed and well built too. I bet your friend is very happy with it, such a nice thing to do for someone.

This has probably been posted here before but I don’t care. This is my favourite song right now. 🤘😁🤘🎸

looks the same as the one that just arrived, interestingly the bottom looks far from flat ground too, presuming that’s not actually been a problem for you? @tej It’s been fine for me. I’ve never chec...

Been enjoying this today @tej Top song from a marvellous guitarist and musician. I like a lot of Satch’s stuff, this whole album is superb. Although, Surfing with the Alien is probably favourite Satc...

When I saw the "extension" piece of the headstock, I thought that'd need some veneering. But, of course, it's Boo. "Paint it Black". @tv101 I think I would have a go at veneering it if it wasn’t bein...

does the piece of metal work better than a blade for scraping the surface after? @tej Yeah, it’s a cabinet scraper. A blade is just like a mini version, an alternative. You can get cabinet scrapers i...

If you look closely at the pictures on the wall behind me you might recognise the greatest castle in all of England, imho. @steadda Looks like the fantastic Bamburgh Castle to me, love it.

RIP Tawny Kitaen. Ahh how very sad indeed. She certainly made me sit up and take notice back in my teenage years. ❤️

I have all the original paperwork to prove it’s legally sourced. Also there more in the loft. @rocknroller912 Good stuff, I’m impressed. 👍

Did a little bit more on this neck today. Drilled the tuner holes and rough cut the headstock. Installed the truss rod and glued the fillet in. Test fitted a couple of tuners and had to put the neck b...

Now the big question - ebony or rosewood fretboard. @rocknroller912 Are you opening a new supply shop? 😳🤩

My first build is a CrasterCaster - named after a small fishing village in my home county of Northumberland, and it's meant to look as though it's been made form an old barrel or fish box. @steadda H...

Would I need staggered ones if I opted for a 4-2 setup? @russ I would say no, use shorter posts for all six. Either angle the headstock or if you are going with a parallel headstock design, use a st...

What's your thoughts on the best post size on these Machine Heads for a Strat style headstock? @russ I like to use the staggered ones.
