After this pink sparkle guitar landed in America, my friend made a neck for it and installed the custom pickups into a nice white scratch plate. This is a collaboration with three guitar builders, mys...

There is plenty of room for error at this stage so it's probably just fine... Here is what to do: Ignore it...for now... Carve the 3rd facet and continue as normal... When you get to the 'Add more fac...

Hey guys, I’m in the middle of carving my first neck and have hit a (hopefully minor) snag. As you can see from the pics I’ve rough carved the side facets - one larger facet, and one smaller section t...

I managed to find an old bandsaw (But with big (44cm) throath and enough height (17cm)) at a thrift store Good point! A lot of folk buy a bandsaw and use it once...then get rid of it... Also they thi...

I'd love to know what others have found out there - if anyone knows of any bargains please let us all know! I managed to find an old bandsaw (But with big (44cm) throath and enough height (17cm)) at ...

Hey Chris - it really depends on your budget - and in these strange times also what is actually in stock and available... Virtually any bandsaw, even the smallest and cheapest, will suffice - but my a...

Hi Guys I've decided to watch through the Acoustic videos before touching anything - proper entertaining better than Corrie! 😉 Starting from scratch slowly building up my equipment Can anyone...

@wayne_f Youve made a great start there, looks like you're very organised and methodical, thats a good way to work. On my first guitar, I kind of made it up as I went along, making templates and jigs ...

I think you would need to have a bit of a redesign around the neck pocket area if you want to convert to a bolt on (to add some sideways support). @koendb True but it wouldn't be much of a problem. I...

@bpower Thanks for the info. I'll check out that company. Come to think of it, I might have already been to that site because the name seems familiar.

Maybe I should go with a bolt-on neck since 1" blanks come in longer sizes. Hi @wayne_f You should be able to ask for a longer blank, no matter who your wood supplier is. Just ask 😉I think you would ...

Funny story (not) Today, I went out to work, gardening. When I got home at lunch time, I decided to continue the work on this Bandsman, for me. I got the frets in it at the weekend and nothing since ...

Coming along nicely @russ I think once you get going, you will have many guitar builds coming nicely along. There’s no better feeling Russ. Apart from maybe……. a few things but not much…… 🤘&#...

I test fitted the tuners and it’s all looking good. It fits into the family nicely (although this one isn’t for me). Attachment : F046DAF1-9504-4F63-A642-3152BBED9C3E.jpeg Attachment : EA8...
