@nsj Thanks for that, never rush a finish, it’s one of the most enjoyable bits of a build, seeing the beauty of the grain pop out. Think this one might be finished for Christmas, just not sure which C...

My first scratch build has been progressing very slowly but surely and I think I reached a major milestone today getting the neck glued in. This is the third time I’ve glued a neck in and you’d think ...

Well that’s not going to blow away is it?!!!!👍🤣🤣 Good solid piece of work😃🎸

Mojo pickups do a set of humbucker size gold foils for £200, not sure if mounting rings are included but if they’re not Axtec do metal mounting rings for humbuckers.😃

@nortski Don’t know if you are subscribed as a full member with access to the course material or just a forum member but I think you’d benefit from having access to the course videos. It would make th...

Guitar building in a studio apartment, I hope you have very understanding neighbours!!🤣🤣 Anyway, welcome the forums, enjoy your guitar making journey and, perhaps most importantly, sta...

@nortski Hi and welcome to the forums. Having built those two beauties, you don’t seem like much of a novice to me!! My understanding ( limited!!) on fret slot depth is that the slot should be approx ...

@nsj That’s good n’y’ews about the lack of toxicity. Wonder if the guy you bought your guitar from is still in the village. 👍😃🎸

@nsj Love that Yew top, full of character, just wondering if you need to take any special precautions working with it as it’s quite toxic? St Cyrus by the way - you were close with your guess👍...

@nsj That’s about what I plan to do when gluing in the neck, time it so the heating is on so it gets a few hours in the warm and leave it overnight in the relevant warm. You’re not too far away from u...

@swepri Thanks for that, guitar body and neck are now sleeping in the spare bedroom, which has at least a fairly stable temperature. Just hope we don’t get any visitors, they might not like having gui...

@nsj Yesterday, after doing some final shaping of the heel, volute and headstock, I’ve moved the body and neck indoors. They’re in the spare bedroom which isn’t central heated and the temp has been ar...

@nsj Glad to hear that your mini flood didn’t cause you too many problems, my shed wasn’t flooded but the wooden walls were well soaked by the persistent rain and wind, they are drying out slowly but ...

Great news!! Onwards and upwards👍😃🎸🎸🎸🎸......

Hi and welcome to the forum, Mark’s workshops would be great for you, with you being so close and that, I can’t remember the cost but, if you don’t have the tools or access to them then everything you...

@liebe I’ve not used the Liberon oil yet but will probably finish my current build with it, I imagine the Crimson oils and Liberon are pretty similar, the method of application certainly is. Thanks fo...

Have a look at crimsonguitars.com, they do a range of stains (both spirit and water based) and finishing oils. I used the penetrating guitar finishing oil on my Winebox guitar and it gave a nice satin...

@rathius Great that you’re getting orders from people. Any idea yet how much the raffle has raised? 😃👍🎸

@robin 👍😃

Well done Robin, really didn’t think you’d get it done last weekend, we had horrible weather on the Sunday, though I know it was much better in Edinburgh. Congratulations👍😃🎸
