Go for it! You get better the more guitars you make! I make a lot now I have retired. Here are some I have built from scratch. They are all short scale 30". Attachment : DSCF3590.JPG Attachm...

Hey everyone, Joining here per a recommendation. After painting, modding and setting up my own guitars over the past year I realised there was nothing stopping me from building my own. As a lefty, all...

Hi peeps, it's a been a loooooooooong time since I've posted here but I finally have a bit of breathing space to start a new build and was contemplating making a small travel electric. Essentially thi...

Hello everyone I'm a new member, love all

  Attachment : PXL_20260421_131500649.MP.jpg Well, I had planned to be very disciplined and do most of the course material first and then start my build. That lasted 1 day before I decided...

Hi everyone, just signed up for the acoustic build course. Quite excited to see how that goes! I've made a couple of electrics and have just finished a major rebuild on my resonator (new neck, neck st...

@brie I've got the wood but been sorting out car stuff and now got lurgy but I'll be back at it soon. Cheers

@nsj 🤣🤣 You're certainly not the first to say it and I'm pretty sure won't be the last!

@liebe not so much sacrilegious as just plain weird! 🤣

@nsj beech? I thought it would be quite heavy, thanks for confirming. It's possibly a sacrilegious thing to say, but I'm not a big fan of the look of spalted wood. So thinlines or heavily chambered i...

@liebe spalted is good, un spalted can be quite heavy but good for a semi hollow like a thinline tele or that

Cheers @nethanpaul86. I've picked up the chestnut body blank I mentioned, just not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet... I hadn't thought of beech, is that one you've tried previously? I plan...

You’re on the right track with walnut, ash, sycamore/maple, and basswood—those are all solid choices and widely available in the UK/Europe. Walnut is a bit heavier but carves beautifully, ash (especia...

@brie it smelled way worse! But thankfully it's all dried and sealed now. I don't know why you put wire wool on your chips though 🤣
