very cool @boo. You've got all the bagpress toys. I think I need to befriend him. 🙂 I've only got one of his toys. Maybe in time. The guitar is looking awesome.... for an electric. he he he.

fantastic @whyte. Can't wait to see this take shape. 🙂

Last post for this guitar. A new guitar deserves a new case. 🙂 Attachment : 20211007_173639.jpg Looks good all finished. 🙂

@warmvalves. I would imagine that the 16" caul would be the one you want. My head says 0.25" over that distance would not be able to be seen and the 16" being a little shallower would push the middle ...

Looks good @wayne_f. On the next fillet just get it close but not fitting in the slot. Then sand it to the final thickness with a sanding block to get the snug fit you want.

I know that I have had an absolute blast making the two acoustic guitars I have completed. I'm on the other fence saying maybe someday I'll make an electric guitar.... maybe. I can see me making a bas...

Welcome Pete @whyte. Post some progress pictures of your journey and any questions, even the ones you think are too silly to ask (ps... there are no silly questions), post in the forums. This group of...

And if we are really lucky we get to experience both personalities of @tv101 🙂 the fantastic music is just a bonus.

Well... While I was out at hockey practice with my son, my wife made a video of the build process of her guitar. ps.... she just whispered in my ear to not judge her if she got the terms wrong on the...

Post #2 and final post for this build. 🙂 I was just talking to my wife about how it has only been less than a year and I have now completed my second acoustic guitar build. And, in my opinion, this s...

Post # 1... The last progression pics of this build. I think I understand soooo much more about the guitar it is unbeli evable. This has been such an amazing journey. Attachment : 20210916_134326....

If I understand this right I would say it looks right to me. I don't think it actually matters that the hole will be drilled in the intonation line as long as the string take off is on the intonation ...

@boo. That makes total sense. I never thought of the tube on the inside not going to the bottom and the bit of fluid that it can't reach. I can see me at some point getting a gravity feed one but for ...

@boo. He stored it mostly apart. I have already put it back together and checked as much as I can think of. Even sprayed thinner through it and everything seems to be working. Attachment : 202109...

@boo. I work in the mechanical side of vehicle repairs and have always been the type to just take apart things to see how they worked and was even able to put the back together and work. The whole fin...

that looks absolutly fantastic @boo. Very clean. I have to admit... working with colours and sprays intimidate me more than building the guitar. My late father was an autobody mechanic/painter and lef...

My next handmade tool is not as extravagant as the sander but it works. I had some old roller skates in the shed. I took the bearings out of them and make a fretwire bending tool. Not fancy but it wor...

Here are a few more progression pictures of my wifes guitar. I think next time I'm going to handle the arm bevel a little differently but, overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Not perfect by any means ...

Hey @jamesonguitar. The second build is going soooooo much better now that I know what to expect and I know the parts that I really messed up with my first one. I know the parts that I needed to slow ...

Welcome @jamesonguitar. Cool video. I agree with @robin. You have a lot more patience than I do. I would not have made it through that much sanding. :). Great perseverance. I was watching and think......
