Hey folks, I've made a few electrics with the usual mahogany, limba, rosewood & ebony materials, but I'll now thinking about what woods are available in the UK or Europe that are suitable for bui...

@brie thanks dude, much appreciated. However, I’ve decided to not use veneers anymore after I use up the remaining veneer (6 I think) or sell them. Instead I’m moving to drop tops and carve tops. Much...

@liebe Thanks for that drawing, it's very helpful!

@brie That makes sense, Thanks!

🤣 @brie I think you're right! I was looking online for the diagram I'd seen before and thought this was it without checking. Glad I only made an ass out of me with that assumption! This is why...

@brie 🤣 🤣 Bloody auto correct😅

Hey all, working on a new guitar body and I'm using ambrosia maple for the first time. This wood seems very hard and has some fun figuring to it. So I just profiled the body with my router and I got a...

Built this one a while agao, first carve top. Had a few things i wasm't happy with, floyd sat above the body, recess wasn't nicely lined up and the finish was kinda sticky. I thought lets improive it....

@brie couldn't agree more. Well just have to struggle through it!

Nice guitar. Like the wood. Great bild

@somethingnicer Like @koendb says, if you've got the money, Mirka Deros 5650 is the bee's knees. If you're looking for something a bit cheaper then Rutland's do a reasonable alternative. &#x...

You definitely want one with proper dustextraction. Mirka is a reputable brand in this segment of power tools.

Posted by: @rashdown_online So, first up - hope you're all OK! It's been a while but tomorrow will be the day that this beauty will be in my clutches and be subject to constant Smoke on the Water int...

This has been on the table for quite some time, but I never had the time to actually start building my bass. The design is of my own , and derived from my guitar body model, just enlarged for the la...

@brie thanks dude. not finished carving yet though. Still have the neck joint area to finish off. Since my 2nd build all have had blended neck joints so there’s no step from neck to body. That part wi...
