That’s a quality save there - the “rear veneer” looks excellent.

@clinton Happened to me too. Depth stop on my router slipped. That turned out really well, I'd say that one was a happy accident.

This book starts with the absolute basics and then builds into pretty much everything you need to know re guitar wiring - how the bits work, what to do if they don't work, designing circuits, et al. ...

Lovin' It @clinton. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

From the same gig, the great Stephen Stills song Love the one you're with.

I started a new build, based on the same model as I have build before (designing-my-own-neck-tru-guitar)But this time, I choose for a set neck and a Floyd Rose Tremolo system from Gotoh (1996T)The nec...

Bit more done this evening, between work o'clock and eat o'clock! Well, that was lucky ... Attachment : 20221010_180601sml.jpg I don't think you can make a jig for that operation - just drill...

And this is what happened ... Attachment : 20221009_192609sml.jpg It took a lot longer than getting out the masking tape, superglue, and router - but part of that was my nervous learning curve ...

I also drilled through the string holes (body thru stringing). Previously I’ve always used the drill press, but the bit has had a tendency to wander a little bit. So I did it differently this time. ...

Option A Attachment : 20220924_183231.jpg I'll be putting a tappable HB in the bridge position - one of the bits postie brought was a chrome cover to put over the top of the black bobbin'd HB t...

Tidied up the carving around the neck join Attachment : 20220924_175639.jpg Attachment : 20220924_175627.jpg And got the captive nuts into the heel of the neck - in all the right place...

Attachment : 20220924_161953.jpg Postie delivered a few bits and pieces yesterday.

I *think* I've settled on a HB in the bridge position, with a standard Tele bridge but cut out for a HB rather than the usual Tele bridge p'up. Mainly because I think that'll give a neater option for ...

Hi builder buddies Novice here; I’m not building per se as yet - I’ve been given an Eko Ranger VI which I’m ‘customising.’ So far I’ve reprofiled the neck, radiuses the fretboard and refretted with Ev...

@russ Thanks Russ - here's my headstock veneer work Michael Attachment : image.png Attachment : image.png

Attachment : 20220802_183017.jpg Attachment : 20220822_144114.jpg Ive been doing a wee bit of woodwork for fun like cabinets, jigs/tools etc for the last two years, which then took me down ...

Rather than using screws for the neck/body, I'm going to use recessed bolts through the body with captive nuts in the neck. The neck join area is a bit thick, so 5mm off with the router, and then blen...

I made a documentary about building guitars some years ago - free on the tube for anyone interested

Hey Folks - @robin and some others may have noticed some changes - yep the team have been busy updating the site and the like button has moved: Hope u like the new look - I think the blue text is a b...

So after my first ukulele, which became a lefty, because I made a routing error ( control cavity on the wrong side of the back ! )I have built a right handed one, with a different scale length (16" i...
