Hi there! I am still in the process of gathering tools to (Hopefully) make my first guitar.My only experience with this sort of thing is making a few neck shims and some shaping on a body once.I have ...

The others are right @somethingnicer, once you start carving and sanding the neck profile you won't see it...... It's all a learning experience..... now you are already a more experienced router user....

@somethingnicer Most of that will be removed when carving the neck too so don't worry to much. I doubt anyone will ever notice once the build is finished.

@somethingnicer Glue a shaving of wood into the recessed area, make it a good fit, and match the grain as best you can. Once you've sanded it down flush, I guarantee that no one else will notice it un...

Hey everyone, So I'm in the middle of my first build and I just profiled my neck using a neck profile jig. I made two mistakes..... 1. I stupidly lifted up before the router spun down and I dug into...

Got the fret markers in, frets and side dots. Only then did I realise I'd put markers on the 25th fret instead of the 24th lol. I knew something was off when I was doing it too. Anyway I got on and ...

Cheers @russ 😅 I think it was planned as part of the fabled finishing course Mark was working on. Don't think I'll be able to provide mark's level of detail and if you don't hear anything, I'v...

Hey folks, I'm thinking of giving faux binding a do on a current build. I've done a bit of research and I'm looking for any advice from those with experience. My plan is to sand body up to 320. Lea...

@brie I did wonder 😎 ...no I just assumed a mod was away and being a noob I'd need approval. Not to worry been very busy doing the dance between spraying, sanding, respraying..thinking you're...

@fuzzwood Welcome Dan. Sounds like you've got off to a flying start. Keep on keeping on. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Hey Dan, Welcome! I've followed your same route in to guitar building, and I have a sneaking suspicion partscasters are the gateway drug to all this! This forum is excellent and the members great. Ch...

@brie if you're on a low enough income you can even get most of it done for free. Think it's somewhere about £19500 per year or that. Ours was all free, insulation, vaillant pump and solar. New modern...

I’m getting close to being finished with a guitar for the winner of the drawing I had months ago. It is a copy of my 3rd design I named Maria after my wife yet using a variation of her middle name, Ma...
