@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...

@liebe thankyou for the warm welcome I'm watching marks video on using an existing neck to measure out the scale length, if I was to create a 25 inch scale, can I use a neck from a standard strat sca...

Welcome Andy! The online electric build course is set around building a 25" scale, but if you've got some experience you might well be able to adapt the plan. I'm sure there are other members who've ...

Sorry forgot to mention, I'm based in Wolverhampton. Tele build with 24 inch scale inspired by shorter scale similar to suregold

Friend asked me to build him a guitar, he sent the wood. Pale moon ebony and mahogany. Originally a prs, then a superstrat and finally he sent me a pic and said this please lol. Anyway stranberg boden...

@nsj Thanks, I thought it was probably either not an issue or recoverable, but needed a bit of assurance before I started removing more wood. As for the hairline glues lines at the fingerboard edge I'...

It'll be fine, if it still rattles after set up just drill out a marker near the middle, take all tension off the rod and glue in a dowel clamping till the glue dries. Then fit a new marker. I used t...

So I finally got to glue the fingerboard on to my neck, and when I took the clamps off I found two problems (well three if you count the amount a glue I need to clean up, unfortunately I had to catch ...

Nice work!

If you think you have seen it or something like it before you probably have. Built similar guitar for a friend last year that worked out so well I just had to do one for myself. It took a while due to...

To avoid breakout I no longer route the headstock profile and use the method described by Brian here... I think I would try sanding/scraping the top face of the neck to remove the marks left by the co...

@markbailey It depends on how big your rod is, it could be a struggle to get it into a slot sometimes. ✊😆 Sorry, that was very childish.

Hey Jonathan - That's normal. We normally push it as far back as it will go (towards the body end). This way it cannot slide back any further so could only potentially move forwards but - it won't mov...
