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 ...

My favourite song today:

Something gentle, restful and subtle. To match my mood today,

One of my favourite punk era bands

As I'm trying to master this bass line it's my favourite song today:

Been playing the whole album LOUD this morning ... There's no online video of my favourite track, so this one takes its place

My favourite song today.

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 ...

@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, no...

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 becaus...

I've been playing around with inkjet watersllde transfers the last few days, the instructions are a poor translation from Chinese, so they're open to a bit of interpretation. Apparently once applied, ...

@clinton Thanks! No marker dots on the fretboard, just the side only!

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 correcte...
