@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!!).🤣👍🎸

@nsj Thanks for that, never rush a finish, it’s one of the most enjoyable bits of a build, seeing the beauty of the grain pop out. Think this one might be finished for Christmas, just not sure which Christmas!!🤣🤣 Away…   Read more»

Well that’s not going to blow away is it?!!!!👍🤣🤣
Good solid piece of work😃🎸

Mojo pickups do a set of humbucker size gold foils for £200, not sure if mounting rings are included but if they’re not Axtec do metal mounting rings for humbuckers.😃

@nortski Don’t know if you are subscribed as a full member with access to the course material or just a forum member but I think you’d benefit from having access to the course videos. It would make the process much…   Read more»

Guitar building in a studio apartment, I hope you have very understanding neighbours!!🤣🤣 Anyway, welcome the forums, enjoy your guitar making journey and, perhaps most importantly, stay safe if you’re not used to working with power tools in particular and…   Read more»

@nortski Hi and welcome to the forums. Having built those two beauties, you don’t seem like much of a novice to me!! My understanding ( limited!!) on fret slot depth is that the slot should be approx 25 % deeper…   Read more»

@nsj That’s good n’y’ews about the lack of toxicity.
Wonder if the guy you bought your guitar from is still in the village.
👍😃🎸

@nsj Love that Yew top, full of character, just wondering if you need to take any special precautions working with it as it’s quite toxic?
St Cyrus by the way – you were close with your guess👍😃🎸

@nsj That’s about what I plan to do when gluing in the neck, time it so the heating is on so it gets a few hours in the warm and leave it overnight in the relevant warm. You’re not too…   Read more»

@swepri Thanks for that, guitar body and neck are now sleeping in the spare bedroom, which has at least a fairly stable temperature. Just hope we don’t get any visitors, they might not like having guitar parts in bed with…   Read more»
