I'd like to see the fretboard 'dry-clamped' on - just to check...but it looks pretty good from here 🧐 edit: Don't worry about any gaps around the fillet - it's just a spacer to stop the rod fr...

Just figured I'd share this with you guys. Today I made a fret slotting jig in preparation for the next build. That's right, I'm not going to use a pre-made board this time. The supplier that I buy mo...

Looks great! Love the color and the overall shape of it. Particularly the end of the fretboard and the pickup mount. Did you make that mount or buy it?

As soon as I logged in I thought to myself "oh, wow. New design!" I like it. If I hadn't read this post I probably would have spent a minute or so looking for the lost "like" button haha.

@poco7 Thank you bro for considering , really it is good place.

True @koendb - in a world where I had enough time to make those mistakes, and the knowledge/understanding to learn from them.

@norriemac that s looking rather good! Awesome job! 👍 🤩

Finally got enough nerve to get my router out and do the mortise in the body. I can now follow the course as normal now. The picture is not the best but everything lines up perfect. Thank you again ...

Beautiful - I added the link so you can watch it here - Thanks!

I made a documentary about building guitars some years ago - free on the tube for anyone interested

@tv101 I need to stop earning money, and join the ranks of the retired ... Its a myth that you'll have time on your hands when you retire. My #003 guitar build has come to a halt, I'm seldom a home...

Beautiful views @boo Congrats on getting the move done. Hope it’s all you’ve hoped and planned for. And that you get the workshops / paint shops sorted out soon.

@tv101 Sorry to disappoint you, I am still around, not in prison. 😂 However, I have got my hands full with my new home in Scotland, no time for guitar building I’m afraid. I still don’t hav...

@rocknroller912 & @Bpower Thank you both for such a quick reply to my topic. You are brilliant!!! I should have added this at first too. I had been using the plans for the OM build from stewmac to...

@norriemac You don’t need a jig to do any of the things you describe. People use them for routers which are a fairly recent thing. Mortise and tenon jigs and binding can all be cut by hand tools and h...
