I'm following along with the acoustic course again and I am about to mark out the side profile of the neck for cutting. On the course the neck joint is at the 14th fret and mark measures at the 10th f...

I think either way would be fine. The wood glue does clean up easily and you still need to do the job of cleaning/scraping the fret board before it is all done anyway so I dont think glue residue woul...

@koendb No. it is not a kit. I wrote out a check list of all the parts I needed and went and chose all the individual parts. To be honest, I don't think I saved a penny by me doing all the work instea...

Attachment : parts 1.jpg Attachment : parts 2.jpg To some this just looks like a pile of wood... to us this is a new born guitar in raw form. Now that I think I have all the pieces I need, ...

In my experience with woodworking, the "v" that you file in the fret slot is there to make it so there are no "unsupported" grain if you need to remove the fret. The fact that the fret ends are pushed...

@boo I showed the pictures to my wife. She likes the black hardware... but says it reminds her of Gem and the Holograms. 🙂 I also like the black hardware. 🙂

I have only built an acoustic guitar so I can't really comment on the length you would need however.... I think if you start with your full sized drawing, then you would be able to measure exactly how...

oh my @steveadams... that looks terrible there. You must be just miserible. 🙂

Just to put my two cents in here. I've been a "hand tool" woodworker for a while now and I prefer to freehand my sharpening. I have invested in good diamond plates and they have been working very well...

I really enjoyed listening in last night on the acoustic bliss. Really enjoyed your song TV. I may just have to make acoustic bliss my Thursday evening house music. 🙂

Sounds cool TV. Thanks. I'll check it out. 🙂

oh my.... where have I been all this time? Since the lock down I have been missing live music. Does this "acoustic bliss" happen every thursday on youtube? When does it start. Unfortunately, in my are...

I would say, if you take a peek on the inside of that guitar and see how it is braced, then we would have an idea of how they made it. It is really neat. 🙂

well.... you could make some dowels out of the off cuts when you cut the head stock out (so the color is the same) and glue them in to fill the holes. Then cut new holes. And then, if it was mine, I'd...

I have thought about a cut away bevel but I know the person that will be playing this will never play up the neck. I have been tossing the arm bevel around for a bit. I know I don't necessarily need...

I've begun the drawing phase of guitar #2. It is going to be a smaller size guitar with a 12th fret neck joint... and of course I want it to be a little more challenging so I'm thinking on putting an ...

very well done. It is starting to look very cool. The videos are great. 🙂

What do you do on a sunday when you are avoiding the kids and the "honey-do list"? You go sit in the shop with a beverage and make a few templates while contemplating the next build. 🙂 Attachment :...
