I’ve just found something online that I find interesting. Some older guitars/stringed instruments don’t have truss rods installed in the necks. So, how could you adjust a bow in said necks if needed? ...

Never built a pickup before, but here's my first one. 4 poles, 2 Alnico 5 magnets that were meant for a Firebird pickup, arranged the same way a regular P90 pickup would be arranged. 10,000 turns 42A...

Neck and fretboard are unified. Truss rod is fitted, tuner holes are drilled and screw holes are pre-drilled. Next up is finish profiling the sides of the neck (they're approximately 1mm oversize to ...

Although I can’t add anything, I’m loving this conversation, very interesting stuff. I’m so happy with the thought that people put into these forums, always thinking of others and how things will cont...

@darrenking Degree subject for sure

@koendb No worries you have a very smooth looking set of sides and I think it’s going to be a great guitar. I might not make the video on Tuesday as I’m being pressed to do a booking for Burns Night a...

@bpower My understanding is that thicker wood dampens sound vibrations, however I’m not sure how this affects the sides. I think that you are correct in saying the thickness is for bending. I’m leani...

Posted by: @bpower someone like @darrenking may be able to correct me I am really not in a position to ‘correct’ anyone and I think we’ll all find that the longer we stick around, the fewer examples...

Side bending job done, now the pics: Attachment : IMG_20220122_225153919.jpg Attachment : IMG_20220122_225431530.jpg Posted by: @rocknroller912 You can show us on the video call next ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Are you building on a flat board or using a mold. @Rocknroller912 I am using a flat board just like Mark does in the course. Posted by: @rocknroller912 I wonder if the ...

@rocknroller912 thanks.

@powerful Looks like a great job

bridge position checked and double checked twice and all marked up now ready for spraying. Cheers Attachment : A0393205-F840-4C30-922C-1BA276EB6274.jpeg Attachment : AE4CB953-61DB-4878-A68...

@markbailey Thanks. Can sleep now in peace. Cheers

@powerful : YES! Neck angle looks spot on - looks like there will be about 9mm space for the bridge once the frets are in - perfect. We can all stop worrying 🙂

@koendb thanks very much. It's all masked up now and ready for sealing etc. Should look pretty good as long as you don't look too closely. It's at this stage where I need to be brutally honest with...

@koendb Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle.

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle. @rocknroller912 Ah I did not know that. Luckily for me, it seem...

@powerful That is coming together nicely! I can only hope my attempt will end up as clean as yours 🙂

Dot markers and side dots in followed by frets today. All ready now for the final sanding process tomorrow. Cheers. Attachment : 200956BB-54B5-4A88-AE05-39127D45ED92.jpeg Attachment : ACEB...
