Some more fancy back masking and it’s now ready for primer, again! Attachment : 1A592D98-FE62-499F-A348-EB693600061E.jpeg Attachment : 67D90A9A-7862-43B9-AD14-BD588BC8E6AF.jpeg Attac...

There is an easy way to get broken screws out @rocknroller912 Worked a treat, Mark suggested the same. If you overlook where the finish is a bit destroyed where I had to twist the pickup mount off it...

Simple little amp - I really only made it to practice my soldering skills. Mini-toggle is a grit-switch (more, or less), following by tone, gain and volume. Drives pretty much any speaker. Sounds p...

I sanded it back today and some spots needed some more filler, just a very thin skim. When this is dry I’ll sand it flat and then mask up for more primer. Attachment : 93690198-3021-4C88-962A-F69...

Back atcha @tej - It is a simple fact that without you and the others none of this would exist. So thanks to you and everyone else here!!

If I understand this correctly you have a 15.75" fretboard and want to press the frets in. A 16" caul will be slightly flatter and press more in the centre leaving the ends slightly high. This could b...

@markbailey 6 months ago I signed up for your build your own electric guitar course, drew some pictures, ordered some blanks and a fretboard from you, got a load of parts, changed my mind, changed the...

Later today, I should receive the honing guide and diamond sharpening stone, but in the meantime BPost delivered this : Attachment : IMG_20211015_143137145.jpg Unfortunately , it has the wrong...

Thanks to Carol and Mark for your help with this. Just a heads up here. Always use 1/4” cutter and not 6mm as it will be too tight and this happens. Cheers Attachment : 557062B0-2F0B-4A3F-9AE7-45B...

@wayne_f, @koendb, @robin, @boo, @Bpower Well, I'm enjoying the fact that you are working ahead of me..lol, it gives me some extra confidence to know that as we go, we hit little hiccups - like fillin...

@poco7 It all starts with a good plan 🙂 Have fun with your build. I like that idea of a tool library, We do have a few places that let you use tools , such as community workshops, but I haven't heard ...

Here's an overdue progress update video:

so do your own thing, in your own time, and just share with us as you go. Thanks @darrenking, wonderful message. I am very excited, but don't want to rush. I have to plan my workspace first. Then I c...

First coat of high build primer. Attachment : C720EB99-0101-4E5A-8A86-F82118C08CEB.jpeg Attachment : C2F0784D-A920-4135-9B27-986506A99DCA.jpeg Attachment : 9CB4DE34-4B69-4149-AA09-B...

@koendb I hope your build goes well. Planing by hand is tricky as one deep tear out can ruin a piece. I mostly use a scraper plane for thicknessing which takes longer but doesn’t tear.

Hi Whyte, Life’s other commitments are always a problem when it comes to something as complex as building a guitar. I have tended to commit whole, or half, days to it at the weekends, as interruptions...

Don’t over think it Boo, it took me 40 years to start building my first acoustic, once I did it took about 3 months to have it strung and playable. Anything you need I may be able to help you with. Ti...

This is the skim fill for those pinholes. I just need to sand it back with some 240 and then it’s time for some high build primer. Attachment : EE2B77B6-8BD0-4AEE-9702-A25EC0BBCD47.jpeg

It’s looking a bit better now, I’ve feathered out the paint around the repair and I just need to skim fill those tiny pinholes (final filler coat). Attachment : E9601E86-BF20-424E-9819-7D747E6C72...
