Great stuff, thank you Mark. I’ve shopped at Small Wonder before, I think Carol sent me that way for my first build. I happen to have found a Facebook group where one of the members actually owns one...

I'm thinking I'll need enough depth that when I sand down the inlay to match the curvature of the fretboard, I don't want to end up with the inlay too thin at the top and bottom. My gut says at least...

Neck blank, truss rod and ebony fretboard arrived safely today. So we are good to go for build number 2. Attachment : Photo 16-08-2022, 12 12 54.jpg This time I'm going to build the guitar of...

@markbailey. Merry Christmas to you too, I don't know how I would have gotten through this year without you, Carol, this course and this community too. Here's to another build and another year.

Oh wow that's a lot of work you've got done @wayne_f it's all looking great. I agree with you on the neck being the most hard work, like Mark says, it'll keep you warm. I found the neck the most sati...

@tej it's great to see the end result it really does look fantastic. I definitely agree with the old friend sentiment. It's also been great to see your progress all the way through this build

Go @koendb 222 jesus wept, I thought 75 was a lot. Good luck man, this is definitely one to watch. As much as I'd love to build an acoustic, I'm with @boo on the 'too many electric builds planned'

I'll definitely record something once I've got the action right @koendb the nut is a bit too big and needs sanding down a bit more first

I couldn't agree more Darren, every time I look at it I can't actually believe I made that and then again succeeding that life long ambition now opens the doors or 'what next'

Hi @irishwhiskeycoke welcome to the revolution. I hadn't done any woodwork since GCSE about 30 years ago but I've managed to bumble along here (with a lot of help.) For bandsaw I found that Aldi occas...

Excited for you @whyte I know that entire 'Winter is coming' feeling. I'm cover plates away from being finished with my first build I started last winter but already thinking of my next. One of the be...

To come back to this, I checked the intonation and it's literally perfect. 'Drill through the entire guitar' 10/10 would do again.

Today I played a guitar I built with my own hands. She’s far from finished, no cover plates and the nut isn’t even glued in yet, but I plugged her in and she played like nothing I’ve ever experienced....

Feeling like I don't know what all the fuss was about 🤣 🤣 Actually feeling surprised no one mentioned this near miss. Hardware and pickups are all gold on this one, can't wait to ...

She really is a beauty @robin, thanks for sharing as it's always so inspiring to see what everyone else is up to.

Welcome @whyte, what a great gift. Enjoy the course, it's definitely worth watching through before you start to make sawdust. This community is such a large part of the process, they've helped me thro...

How am I only now discovering the Acoustic Bliss YT channel?

@mattbeels thanks for sharing that one, a customer, jeez the idea makes my blood go cold. @robin oh there's been so many lessons 🤣 still it definitely feels better than it did yesterday.

1mm at a time right? You know me too well @boo which is exactly why I took your advice and walked away.
