@boo coming along nicely, hoping to be at a similar stage by the end of today too if the stars align and I get time!

Did a little bit more on this neck today. Drilled the tuner holes and rough cut the headstock. Installed the truss rod and glued the fillet in. Test fitted a couple of tuners and had to put the neck b...

No surcharge with these guys, but there is a £12 minimum order @jonhodgson That’s great, thanks for the link, I’ve ordered from them. I made up the order with a few different colours to get it to the...

Do you think there is any reason why this material couldn’t be used to make fret marker dots? @boo I don’t see why not, should look good. With regard to size look at how wide your fret wire is and w...

@boo that's a bit cheeky! No surcharge with these guys, but there is a £12 minimum order

These guys have 6mm, which is about normal for a dot @jonhodgson Ah yeah but look what happens when you put a couple of 6mm rods at 600mm in length into your basket and try and purchase them. Thanks ...

yeah but it’d look awesome until manhandled though 🙂 @tej It would look stunning, I must admit. It would be torture knowing I couldn’t play it though.

I don’t think Vantablack is robust enough to use on a guitar from what I’ve read. @boo yeah but it’d look awesome until manhandled though 🙂

I think the hundreds of thousands you have to pay to get a license to use Vanta Black (not to mention that it has some very special application method) probably makes how hard wearing it is rather moo...

Now you just need a license to paint it in Vantablack @jonhodgson I don’t think Vantablack is robust enough to use on a guitar from what I’ve read. It’s ok for household object, lamps etc that aren’t...

but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️ @mattbeels Well, I don’t know about that. 🤣
