@boo The fretboard is rosewood. I am planning to do a semi-hollowbody, loosely based on the Bandsman shape. The first build turned out very heavy, so why not try a variation with a thin top and some r...

Welcome to the forum @roddy, you’ll love it here! That shot of you at the bench is great, it’s a view the rest of us haven’t seen for quite a while as Mark hasn’t been doing vids for some time now. Pe...

Posted by: @swepri I think I will have to start a new build soon. Hard to resist when seeing other builds.. @swepri Yeah, go for it. I have chosen to make building guitars part of my life, I’m alway...

@roddy Good for you, glad you enjoyed your visit. Welcome to the forum and I look forward to seeing pictures of your design drawing and maybe of the building process.

@russ Thanks! Going for a tele style with single coils.

@roddy. Welcome Roddy. Enjoy the ride. What style of guitar are you going for? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

I visited Bailey guitars workshop on Friday for a guitar design session with Mark. I really enjoyed my visit, being in the workshop and seeing the guitars, as well as chatting to Mark and Carol who ar...

I’ve had a couple of days off from guitar making to move some more stuff out of the house but I couldn’t resist carving the nut area into the headstock on one of these necks. I thought I would do the ...

Keep going @bpower, it’ll work out. 💪

I’ve yet to carve them but I couldn’t resist offering them up to have a look how they might look. I like it so far. Attachment : 1E5ACE4A-4912-4342-96B3-A5686774A946.jpeg Attachment : 5D14...

I’ve still got a long way to go but these necks are starting to look good with their respective bodies. I’m going to use all gold hardware on both of them, I think it would be rude not to. Attachm...

Looking good @bpower 🙏🎶🙂🎸

All glued, pinned and clamped. I’ll come back to this tomorrow. Attachment : 2BBA8BD6-5092-4EAA-A260-099B19D968F5.jpeg Attachment : 02B65A71-789A-4971-984D-B64827EEF14F.jpeg

Time to get the fretboard on. I always lightly clamp it in place first and make sure everything lines up and is in the right place. Then put my caul on to see where the holes need drilling for the loc...

Planed the fillet and a bit of scraping too. It’s very satisfying doing this bit. Attachment : E1122733-50DC-4E33-A50B-189437C228FC.jpeg Attachment : 50F601AC-C8D6-49C9-A76A-9A96740AC6AC....

Time to unclamp and plane this truss rod fillet down so I can glue this amazing fretboard on. This neck is going to look stunning. Attachment : F77B5056-B3F7-49A4-8D84-89E05D7B7996.jpeg

@bpower . A radius dish for the back of the acoustic guitar Ingenious, I'm trying to get my head around how you produce an even dish with your jig. I'm guessing its pinned in the centre somehow and...

Posted by: @bpower Here are some progress pictures. Note the couple of center seam diamonds that my daughter helped me make and she glued in. She has done this on all three builds so far. She ma rks ...
