Mahogany neck and body, ash top and headstock plate, ebont board, jumbo frets. Gotoh hardware and seymour dunscan JB4 SH2N pickup combo. It's one my favourites I've done so far.       ...

@somethingnicer You can do all of the above. You're right about all the things that could happen whichever way you choose. You can fit little strips of Teflon into the slots to stop them clogging up f...

Hello all, I'm I'm working on a maple neck with a maple fretboard (bolt on). I'm at the point where I'm struggling on what order to do things, My fret slots are the right depth and my side dots are in...

🤣 @brie you’re not wrong there!

Made to be a birthday gift for a family member. On one level just another bandsman and on another a build with so many first time tasks. Safe to say I learned a lot. The design considerations when c...

@brie Router sled and a laser, it was actually pretty easy. The lightburn software for the laser is brilliant too

@brie lasered them, had to drill where the resin is though because it's blue and my laser is a diode type, but I made templates when practicing with ash. Started with paper till it was spot on, then a...

Wanted to try something different, yew and resin for top, fretboard and headstock plate. Mahogany neck, limba body. CF rods added in the neck. Running the iron gear dirty torque blues engine set. I wa...

Totally is, hoe your enjoying it too. Very zen . I have misinformed slightly, what I thought was oak isn't, it's actually American ash I'm told 🤦‍♂️

Hey up, I'm north east and gather in my shed with tools and wood lol

@nsj I'll check that one out, thankyou. Greatly appreciate you coming back to me to share your experience. Bit of a mind field out there especially you tube reviews

@andyorton2gmail-com It's a fine router, smooth etc. I mainly use it for the truss rod channel. I find the palm routers much easier to handle for everything else. Stick a bigger base on them to mak...

I haven't used this one myself, Andrew but I know a couple of people who have and they're more than happy with it. 🙏🎵🎸🙂

@russ thanks Russ In your opinion what's your take on the bosch POF 1200 ?

@andyorton2gmail-com Hi Andrew, In the UK the Bosch GKF600 is the same as the Colt. It is a great wee router but there are cheaper alternatives out there. One of the advantages of this router and the...

Hi everyone, subjective as it might be, I was wondering if anyone in the forum jas had any experience using this colt router for guitar builds. Looking at my first router and I'm seeing that this plu...

@brie Here's a couple, basically mounted like a regular 2 point trem, then I added a recess and then cut the back end away so there was no restriction. Nice brass block to finish off the look. A...

@andyorton2gmail-com Welcome to the playground Andrew. Hope you have Fun. There are people out there that would sell you a 24" premade fretboard. If you are planning to make one yourself you can mark ...

@liebe awesome thankyou, I quite like shorter more compact feel guitars, I'm guessing the lighter and slightly shorter length guitars are appealing more to me now, been toying with 24.75 gibson scale ...

Hey Andy, if you have a fretboard or neck in the scale that you want and/or that you're going to use in your build you certainly can use that in your drawing to map out the position of the frets. I wo...
