What is in Blackpool?

I can’t advise you on Blackpool as I’ve never been there. But I think I’d rather be in the middle of the Pacific.

@clinton

Twice now this happens. I am laughing out loud in pure stupidity

The advice is to walk away now Clinton and it won’t seem so bad tomorrow. I’m not sure if that fixes our stupidity though.

@clinton I’d say average temp is at 21 degree at night to 29 degree C throughout the day. Perfect to swim everyday. Truly is wonderful. We’ve just had our first snow of the winter last night, not so good for…   Read more»

@clinton That is nothing, minor. I spaced out and inlayed wrong fret spots of fret markers after the 12th fret. I didnt even catch til days after I finished the build. Thanks Clinton that makes me feel better, and lets…   Read more»

@clinton I have signed up …this is going to be great!
 

@clinton
Does the weather ever get cold where you are

In the middle of the Pacific

@clinton I think you have the best deal as far as accommodation is concerned. I have never been to Hawaii but it sure does look amazing. 

@clinton Great film and a stunning guitar very well built. Well done sir. 

@clinton This is all really cool, I’d never heard of these kind of pickups before this conversation. 

I based my Bandsman build because of this particular guitar.

Wow @clinton and really pleased that it inspired you, particularly now that we’ve all seen the quality of your designs and builds
👍
 

@clinton Excellent Clinton. Really enjoyed that.
🙏🎶🎸🙂

@clinton
Just like @boo…brilliant and clear answer…really appreciate all of you taking the time and effort to help….
yes, I will be testing more than a couple of times on scrap!!
Cheers

It is 82mm apart from centers of each posts. Hence, 41mm to both sides. Yeah well said @clinton Remember @steveadams that everything is measured from the centre line. So when you have measured your 6mm back from the scale length…   Read more»

what is your scale lenght? Looks good. @clinton It’s a standard Gibson 24.75” scale length. The guy doesn’t want a scratch plate either so I need to get the neck joint as neat as I can before I paint it….   Read more»

Access to truss rod however, I opted by the headstock @clinton Yeah I always prefer having the truss rod adjustment at the headstock end. I never understood why people want it at the other end where it’s so awkward to…   Read more»

@clinton I enjoy building Teles, they are very easy to make but I have still not clear coated (lacquered etc) a fretboard. I really do like the look of a high gloss fretboard, even on darker woods, not just maple…   Read more»

@clinton It will look something like this. 

50mm spring space neck pick up and 43mm nut. @clinton Thanks for the input. It wasn’t the neck pickup I was worried about though, it was a 50mm “bridge” pickup with 52mm bridge. It’s ok though because now I know…   Read more»

My OCD engineering mind has gone into overdrive now. Isn’t a 12″ drum going be a 6″ radius, rather than the 12″ radius you want for your sanding blocks. @clinton I didn’t notice until @robin corrected you, I should have…   Read more»

@clinton
Thanks for clearing up the drum size thing, I can relax now.
