Posted by: @michael-oconnor I’ve been given an Eko Ranger VI which I’m ‘customising.’ @michael-oconnor Welcome to you and I think it’s a great way to start, customising. I started doing that, then b...

@michael-oconnor Welcome Michael. For me, repairing/customising is a more daunting task than building from scratch so you're a brave man to be taking on that job first. Hope all goes well. Post us som...

Hi builder buddies Novice here; I’m not building per se as yet - I’ve been given an Eko Ranger VI which I’m ‘customising.’ So far I’ve reprofiled the neck, radiuses the fretboard and refretted with Ev...

Hi peeps, Now this might sound like a completely stupid question, although not on a par with asking when metric tape worms were introduced to the UK (my wife is a parasitologist and found this hilario...

A week ago I played with "Akoestische Heeren" (which has evolved from a trio into a quartet) at a garden party of a friend.

@bpower ok I was a bit confused there. The Epihones were built to last

Hi @darrenking superb! yeah that seems to be the way to go.I will give that a go. Thanks man!

Hi @koendb It seems like a long time ago that I made these but I don't know if any of these images might give you and idea or two. I made my jigs with hinged plates so that the angle was easily adjust...
