Modern jazz? – Who’d know?!

The eagle has landed @darrenking
Tomorrow, I’ll take it for a flight …
😉

PM me and I’ll see what I can sort out for you.

@darrenking Hi Darren, thanks for that, I’m only too happy to help. Just one question, how do we PM each other on here? 

@darrenking

Come on TV, tell us what you really think!!

I’ve got a photo round here somewhere of the correct shape for a guitar … 
 
 
 
Ahhhh … it’s my Avatar!!!

for rock’n’roll? @darrenking I think it will be fine Darren, a few of us can continually test them out and report back. You have gone to the trouble of designing and building this thing so, I for one, I’m willing…   Read more»

Do you guys think it will be ok? @seth It will be fine, don’t worry about it. As @darrenking has mentioned, Maple is strong and with the fretboard and a truss rod, there will be plenty of rigidity. Lots of…   Read more»

@darrenking thanks, that’s what i was hoping to hear, I will proceed forward then.  the worse case scenario is the neck does break, so this will be a bolt on lol

I think that some people (mentioning no names!) are going through every single post that there has ever been and ‘liking’ them! It’s a point or two each time I believe! @darrenking @johnnierox-boo Mark explained – briefly – in one…   Read more»

@darrenking Hey, welcome to the ‘1000 club’ Bill, what took you? You’re still only in the “1,000 club” ???   I reckon @johnnierox-boo has hacked the system and found a secret store of points that always keeps him a few…   Read more»

Watch out Stewart & MacDonald.
If you could put a catalogue together @darrenking, Mark could have another one to work through, buy8ng everything …

Does anybody know if this is true or is it just a guitar makers’ urban myth? @darrenking I’m not sure but it was all rather splendid. His music and guitar playing were absolutely incredible and I love it all but…   Read more»

@darrenking Thank you, I always try to use nice looking wood. A flamed maple top is not something very special, but you hardly ever see them on the ‘standard’ models like Jazz basses or Stingrays.

@darrenking I’m sure I’ve seen film of him playing a RH guitar without changing the strings at all i.e. upside down. I know this sounds stupid but it was a common thing with US players in the 60s & 70s,…   Read more»

@darrenking Yes, wish I had a multimeter. My birthday coming up in a few weeks. Hmmm.

I might be able to adapt this mitre saw into a fret slotting jig. @robin I’ve got the exact same mitre saw and I have thought I could convert it for fretslotting too. Having said that, after seeing @darrenking designing…   Read more»

@darrenking You da Man! 

As soon I have finalised pricing with Mark and Carol you’ll be one of the first to know! @darrenking That’s great, I appreciate it. I think someone has already said this but it’s about time someone came along and made…   Read more»

Very neat and clever @darrenking. 

@darrenking That truly is amazing! Fantastic idea, making it Ikea style. I’ll buy a few from you, do we all get a discount as we are all friends here? 😀  

BRILLIANT work @darrenking.
It’s about time StewMac had a bit of competition …. how are you going to be selling them (on your website or some other channel/s?)

@darrenking I know what you mean about the laser flare,plus you mentioning that reminded me that the laser was marginally skew on our cutter last time I checked (not enough to be noticeable in isolation, but if you used it…   Read more»
