Hi James, I’m afraid I’m rather far away to be of help to you, North East Scotland is about as far away from South Wast England as you can get!!🤣🤣 I hear what you’re saying though and ...

@nsj Wow!! Looks great, especially the blue resin contrasting with the light colour of the wood. Great work there.👍😃🎸

Hi Chris, Welcome to the group, I’m sure you will enjoy the journey from slabs of wood to guitar but be warned, it is very addictive 🤪 I’ve not finished my first build yet but I’m already plan...

@robin Nice work Robin, very tidy. Merry Christmas to you and all everyone in the community 🎅🏻Ho Ho Ho!! 👍😃🎸⛄️🍾🎁

@stephen-hayes Hi Stephen, like yourself, my build has extended into the winter months and I’ve had the same concerns as you. When gluing in the neck I brought the neck and body into the house for a f...

@rathius Google mahogany mixups the lowdown and go to the wood database result at wood-database.com its an interesting article about “mahogany “. The website has loads of useful information about many...

@boo I had a similar problem a while ago and couldn’t get signed in at all, Carol spoke to their IT person but no firm conclusion was found. Since then I have on occasion had a problem but have found ...

@rathius It’s got loads of graphite in it, very thick stuff and messy to work with. Make sure the body around the cavity you’re painting is well masked, it’s a real pain to clean any splashes or erran...

Hi Dan, I can understand your frustration with the limitations of a 35mm plunge depth, it makes those deep routs quite challenging. For what it’s worth I have two routers, the elder of the two is a PR...

Thanks Dan, not nearly as quick as your first build!! Too much thinking and planning (sitting on my butt and prevarication!!).🤣👍🎸

@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...
