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

Find a nice video to messure your humbuckers.

I really appreciated the detailed breakdown of the wiring diagram for your PRS build! It reminds me of my own struggles when I attempted to wire a custom pickguard on my guitar. I had a similar experi...

@somethingnicer I think I understand. The humbuckers are covered, making the slug coil difficult to measure. Ultimately, on the bass pickup, the white wire is the +, the cloth wire with the core is th...

@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 🤣

Latest build is a double f hole thinline tele, body is yew and resin with a sipo mahogany top, slightly flamed maple neck with ebony board. Loving the P90's from warman guitars   Attachment : ...

Classic “simple job” 😄 1. Noise issue:Tuner works → pickup is fine. Problem is likely output jack or preamp. Check battery contacts, jack socket, and cables—those often fail after storage. 2. ...

Hey Brian, Preamps can fall, but perhaps see if you can bypass the output from it to see if the output jack has failed or needs cleaning. I have a jack socket with two crocodile clips wired to it too...

@brie Very kind of you Brian, I appreciate it and so does my mate. I have still yet to create a proper workshop in one of my out-buildings, the weather really is a major issue for workshops in Scotlan...

Hello, I’m not sure whether this is allowed @markbailey but I’ll just ask.   A good friend of mine and fellow guitar maker has a Go Fund Me campaign for funds for vital repairs and improvements o...
