My first ‘deeply in love with’ girlfriend, at the age of 14, was named Lucy. She is also an amazing guitarist. Serendipity? Maybe this time she will be mine! Darren

BTW using finishes with different levels of porosity/evaporation rates on different parts of the guitar is a bad idea I think as this will contribute to exaggerated contrasting rates of expansion/cont...

Hi Robin, any finish that soaks in to the wood is going to darken it but you should always find that this enhances all of the grain rather than detracting from it. I cant think of any wood that looks ...

Didn’t want you to have to count @darrenking ... Thanks TV10101! The next time I'm looking for a PA I'll make sure to ask you for a CV! Of course, if PJ had been featured that would probably have bee...

OOC what’s the advantage of Ju Jitsu Meat over Zoom?

@frocesterbill Wasn't meant to be sexist at all, I have a Tele that I love myself, it was just notable that almost every act that was featured had a band member with Tele hanging around her neck. I'll...

@frocesterbill There was a ‘Female rock at the BBC’ program on last week and probably 80% of all the ladies were playing Teles. Why does this guitar appeal to the girls over all others?

@jamesbisset The SE30! I was working at an AppleCentre in London when that machine was launched. We thought computing had reached its pinnacle! I mean, it came with a 40Mb hard drive and (I think) 4mb...

The internal radius on all corners is 5mm

Mr Hiscox was/is a guitar maker himself so he may well have a bit of a soft spot for independent makers. I wrote to him as a teenager and this is one of his guitars that was sold as part of David Gilm...

Well they gave me reseller pricing when buying a single case. They are very keen to sell to guitar makers and don’t expect you to be buying 10 or 20 at a time. Speak to them, they were very accommodat...

Why not just set up a reseller account with Hiscox and sell all your guitars with a case? Solves the packaging issue, you will make an extra few quid on the sale and your client doesn’t’t have to find...

This is going to sound bloody obvious but can't you send it up in a guitar case (if you have one that it fits that is) and then simply pay to have the case sent back to you empty afterwards? Probably ...

What about: The Pick Up Joint (might need to recruit more female members for that to be a vote winner!) The Tremolo Bar

@tv101 Shit TV!, was this a recent learning experience?!!

Hi James, It's more about where your hands are in relation to the dangerous thing and where they may end up if something goes wrong. The chuck could loosen and drop out when you remove the material bu...

I know from a recent live stream that Mark isn't a huge fan of the safe T planer Nor me! I think it was the winning finalist in a 'Design an Accident Waiting to Happen' competition. There are just so...

@robin just a quick mention that even router cutters described as being ‘plunge cut’ really don’t like being used as drills ie a completely vertical plunge. You will reduce wear, and therefore extend ...

Good point Mark, What brand of 12mm drill have you got Steve, not all tooling is created equal! Those TCT lip and spur drills are also available in 12mm and the hole will be spot on, guaranteed. Just ...

More money, but in the UK and in stock!
