I was star struck in awe and deeply honored hearing that and coming from a guitar legend, the one and only Carlos Santana. @clinton Ha! Great story. I must come and try them for myself.

Hi guys. Thought I'd share my fist (and currently only) attempt at a BYO. Went quite well, if I might say. And she's matured really nicely. Mahogany neck; Ebony fretboard; Swamp Ash body; Wenge cap; G...

P90’s planned for my build number 2, sounds like Wilkinson are a good recommendation, thanks.

Wilkinson P90s are my new fave pickups and I cannot stop raving about it. @clinton I got some too. 🤘😁🤘🎸 Attachment : 0B1B2390-8834-4C88-9428-0F018A8FA64F.jpeg ...

@boo Dude, check it out: I was just on the Siggi Braun website and they‘ve got a guitar for you! Attachment : image.png

Fixed the problem today. Made a cylindrical drill bit out of some brass tube and cut some teeth in the end of it will a Dremel. Drilled the snapped drill bit out using a drill guide for stability. I t...

Howaa! It worked. 2mm walnut veneer ca glued over plastic humbucker rings. Been contemplating doing it. Adds a nice touch I must say and can be oiled. @clinton Ha, what a great idea, I’m glad it work...

Nicely done. Truss rod routing is so rewarding when it sits in the groove all snug! Getting a tight fitting square level Nut is my current nemesis

Control cavity routed now and body shape cut, I'm impressed with how square the bandsaw can cut. I've wedged a temporary piece into the neck pocket to prevent me knocking lumps off when I route the bo...

Well that's pretty much the most woodwork I've done in my adult life 🤣 I think it worked out ok, onto the headstock angle jig next. Attachment : neck_angle_jig.jpg

Yup, there goes @clinton, our resident frame saw wizard!

Sawing that fret board is something else, I would definitely arse that up! Well done.

You're certainly a very skilled craftsman Clinton. Looking good. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

@clinton looks cool, f-holing sounds kinda rude 😆

That's the humbucker sockets and neck pocket routed now. I also made the mistake of taking the humbucker sockets to their full depth before doing the neck pocket. I routed very carefully where there w...

Hi Peebee 06/01/2021 6:34 pm @robin, you can also line the neck pocket template with tape just to shrink a little and give a snug fit. That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that.

@usadave Looking good so far Dave! I see what you mean about the truss slot, yeah that’s what faceplates are for 😂 The dimensions that you’re after are roughly 21mm at the first fret and 23mm ...

Bosch makes great routers and more than sufficient. I do builds with my laminate trimmer alone with jo problems. I do suggest a plunge base attachment. Believe me, you are gonna wish you got it sooner...

which kind of paper do you put in between when you are glueing both cap sides together? I use the inner bag from breakfast cereal boxes, the glue doesn't stick to it.
