@liebe Thanks Dan, the unit was getting power from the battery, the tuner was working (therefore receiving a signal from the pickup) but the output from the unit had failed, or the cable between the p...

Done!👍😃I hope your friend surpasses his target and can do the repairs that are needed, I know from my own experience how it feels to have the Scottish weather start to intrude on your ...

@jonhodgson Totally agree with Dan's comments and would just like to add that routing the headstock shape can be tricky, maybe better to cut close to your template lines on the bandsaw then use belt s...

@scotty Wow that’s a tremendous amount of work but very worthwhile for the effect. I’ve seen something similar done on a smaller scale using pencils/coloured crayons. I can imagine that the prospect o...
