@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»

@nsj Yesterday, after doing some final shaping of the heel, volute and headstock, I’ve moved the body and neck indoors. They’re in the spare bedroom which isn’t central heated and the temp has been around 15degrees. Will probably leave it…   Read more»

@nsj Glad to hear that your mini flood didn’t cause you too many problems, my shed wasn’t flooded but the wooden walls were well soaked by the persistent rain and wind, they are drying out slowly but there was a…   Read more»
