Brilliant! I've kept sawdust in old coffee jars just in case. That's why there's not a lot of space left. Oh and I have an area just for clamps. There's a story about clamps but my memory fails me at ...

Is a tree as a guitar an ambition fulfilled? And is the sawdust jealous?

Hi guys, something that I can really recommend is a one on one Zoom meeting with Mark. Until now I have built 2 Bandsman guitars and started to design a bolt-on Tele style guitar. The video courses an...

Hi All, been lurking for a while now. Did first build Les Paul during Lockdown 1 (UK), about to start Flying V for Lockdown 2.

A bit cold in the garage today, but a couple of prep bits done. Made the humbucker template and the body shape template. Just waiting for a router bit for the truss rod and I can make a start on the b...

I manage something physical today, my first jig. Attachment : 20201209_135121.jpg Missed the live stream though.

The drawing so far. Now just going to look at it and decide if it’s right. I have a couple of bits of wood to practice the body on before committing. Attachment : 578D7875-A5F7-4A79-A45C-AE734F992...

Right here goes starting the drawing, the rules are out, a roll of lining paper, some pencils and an eraser. PRS double cut style with P90’s as I don’t have a guitar with those pickups.

@matt-beels it’s a up and downer, cylinder type. here’s the drawing so far, not finished the body shape and a couple of other things, but it’s getting there. Attachment : BEC91E5C-9999-45DD-945A-5...

Here it is the long awaited FINISHING COURSE! ATM it is fairly basic but hopefully enough to get you going - any Q's just ask - I'd love to know what you think of it so please do let me know in the co...

Hi i'm ready to drill the holes for my Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece and wondering if i should mark 1.5mm back from scale length for high E and 4.5mm mm back from low E string for correct position...

Just had a nice surprise e mail from Mrs PeeBee....I am now a premium member. Now that’s the weekend taken care of! Thanks Mark and Carol for putting this together. Now where’s my masking tape and sup...

Hi Folks, I took up guitar making when I retired a few years ago. My first guitar was a classical acoustic that I made under the guidance of Andy Davidson, a luthier in Totnes, Devon. I spent a few we...

If I've timed this right, my 5,000 rep point is earned by this post. And I wanted to mark that milestone with something a bit special. This is my #1 guitar. It has been since the day I got it, and I ...

Hi there, Paul here, PeeBee on the forum. I’m 50 and love guitars, they are things of beauty and strange in that they are designed to make sound but are as equally appealing on the eye. I can’t play v...

I have spent the last few weeks turning a small old box room in my house into a functioning guitar tinkering area. What do you think? Attachment : 275D7441-543E-40E6-B4DA-3AED925C656A.jpeg ...

Hi, I just caught my first livestream. I've been watching the videos for a few months now as I've been working on my first full build. It's a little ambitious, but I'm taking my time and trying to do ...
