@boo Thanks Boo, it’s not perfect but that’s why there has to be the next one, isn’t it? 👍🤣 I have been back in the workshop but doing something a bit more down to earth – fixing a couple of…   Read more»

@swepri Yes there’s a special feeling to playing something you’ve made. There’s also that strange mixture of feelings when I finish a project, part pride and satisfaction and part disappointment that it’s finished. I guess the cure for that is…   Read more»

@nsj I’m getting used to the weight of it, maybe I’m building up my muscles!!🤣🤣 Not sure that my good lady would be too chuffed with me building 19 guitars, future projects may need to be sold.😃 Anyhow, I’ll be…   Read more»

@sanjeevmansotra You’re welcome Sanjeev, I hope you enjoy practicing and once you get the hang of some of those patterns, you can try some of your own 👍😃🎸

@markbailey Thanks for your kind words Mark, I would have been very reluctant to start on such an endeavour without your fantastic videos and the end result would not have been of the same quality. I can’t thank you enough,…   Read more»

@liebe Thanks Dan, having a rest for a while, at least until the weather is a bit warmer, then get going on the next one👍😃🎸

@russ Thanks Russ, bit on the heavy side but otherwise I’m well pleased with it. Going to have a look at the acoustic course but I think I’ll probably do another electric come the spring time.👍😃🎸

@robin Thanks Robin, it’s been a blast and I really only want to have look at the Acoustic course, honest!!🤣🤣 Thing is, you know how you always have bits left over when you finish a job, well it seems I’ve…   Read more»

Hi Sanjeev, I think the answer to your question is largely Practice, practice, practice…. oh and then some more practice!!🤣🤣 However, knowing what to practice is a great benefit, trying to make it up can be hard,…   Read…[Read more]

Hi James, I’m afraid I’m rather far away to be of help to you, North East Scotland is about as far away from South Wast England as you can get!!🤣🤣 I hear what you’re saying though and have wondered in…   Read more»

@nsj Wow!! Looks great, especially the blue resin contrasting with the light colour of the wood. Great work there.👍😃🎸

Hi Chris, Welcome to the group, I’m sure you will enjoy the journey from slabs of wood to guitar but be warned, it is very addictive 🤪 I’ve not finished my first build yet but I’m already planning the next…   Read more»

@robin Nice work Robin, very tidy.
Merry Christmas to you and all everyone in the community 🎅🏻Ho Ho Ho!!
👍😃🎸⛄️🍾🎁

@stephen-hayes Hi Stephen, like yourself, my build has extended into the winter months and I’ve had the same concerns as you. When gluing in the neck I brought the neck and body into the house for a few days prior…   Read more»

@rathius Google mahogany mixups the lowdown and go to the wood database result at wood-database.com its an interesting article about “mahogany “. The website has loads of useful information about many different woods, use the Wood Filter to search for…   Read more»

@boo I had a similar problem a while ago and couldn’t get signed in at all, Carol spoke to their IT person but no firm conclusion was found. Since then I have on occasion had a problem but have found…   Read more»

@rathius It’s got loads of graphite in it, very thick stuff and messy to work with. Make sure the body around the cavity you’re painting is well masked, it’s a real pain to clean any splashes or errant brush strokes….   Read more»

Hi Dan, I can understand your frustration with the limitations of a 35mm plunge depth, it makes those deep routs quite challenging. For what it’s worth I have two routers, the elder of the two is a PRO CLM1250R, which…   Read more»

Thanks Dan, not nearly as quick as your first build!! Too much thinking and planning (sitting on my butt and prevarication!!).🤣👍🎸
