@clinton Thanks for the tips! I was able to get it completed last night, with patience and gentle pressure.

Hi, Just to let you know, I just became a premium member. Watched a view lessons. Looks great! Gerard

I've been thinking about this for a few years and finally took the plunge, sought out and bought what thought I needed to get going and also cleaned a space in the shed. There's still a whole bunch of...

Well, got my fretboard cut to shape, and glued on overnight last night. I have now radiused it and am carving the neck...progress!!

@robin Thanks! Feels like good progress! I have a radius sanding block that I will use. Most certainly, a pre-slotted board would have saved me some time and a lot of effort! I just needed to be ...

I'm new to the site, but have a couple of builds on the go... have made several mistakes on the way, on previous builds, and these ones, but have been able to recover. Building necks are the bane of m...

@tv101 Thanks Tony. I didn't really choose the complexity of the build, it just kind of evolved with wood I had available and I certainly learnt a lot during the process. Yes, I like the f holes, it l...

How did your first neck turn out? My one and only neck was a joy to carve, I can't describe the satisfaction of transforming a plank of wood into a guitar neck using nothing but hand tools. I crowned...

Hi and a warm welcome from me as well I've popped back in to the 'GM Virtual Workshop" having been in my shed for a while. Mark's videos are brilliant and helped me build a guitar that works..... and ...

I’ll plan something like this on a future attempt. You won't be alone @boo - @clinton has set a high standard ...

@clinton yes I sealed lacquer over danish oil. Works really well. Thanks Clinton, thats good to know. I'll try a little test peice and see how it goes.

Maybe Mark will do a finishing course soon. That's an excellent idea @Robin ... we can hope ...

@clinton Excellent video Clinton. Am I right in saying that you've put a lacquer finish over Danish Oil, can we do that? Maybe Mark will do a finishing course soon.

@clinton Absolutely fantastic build, truly amazing! Well done sir! It has already beaten what my Bandsman build will be. I’ll plan something like this on a future attempt.

My favourite bass player is Bernard Edwards. He is best known for being with the band Chic and for one of the most iconic bass lines in the history of pop music in the song Good times. It seems this b...
