@robin Lovely guitar Robin, that finish gives a nice sheen and brings out the grain.
Congratulations on a fine piece of work👍😃🎸

@robin Looks great Robin, well done!!👍😃
More photos please, I’d like to see how that finish looks, I’m a nosey beggar🤣🤣👍😃🎸
 
 

@nsj That’s pretty much what I was thinking, that insulation would be the key. We’ll stick with our oil fired CH for the present but would seriously think about making the change rather than getting a new boiler if the…   Read more»

@nsj Interesting to hear how the heat pump/solar panels have reduced your heating costs. A friend of ours is going to have the survey done to see if he qualifies to have the work done and we were thinking of…   Read more»

@liebe Thanks Dan, your suggestion of obeche could be a possibility, it appears that it’s lighter and softer than Poplar but not markedly so. Do you have any suggestions where I might be able to source it? I’ve been looking…   Read more»

I hear you Robin🤣🤣👍

@nickkuk Looking good, nice work!! 😃
Really like that maple cap on the body. Thought mine was heavy at 4.1kg but you’ve beaten me on that one🤣🤣👍🎸

@robin Looking good already Robin, fantastic job👍😃
Been having a look at the acoustic build course and already I can feel Mark’s can do attitude beginning to draw me in!!🤣🤣

@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 👍😃🎸

@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»
