@jamesbisset Hi James, I’m happy to contribute any loan equipment you may need to give this a go and if you can draw/model the mould then I am more than happy to machine it for you on the CNC router F...

@eddie6string I'm glad you enjoyed the videos, they were great fun to make. If you can post a photo of the pump I'll let you know what I think. 250W isn't an especially big vacuum pump and, so long as...

@rocknroller912 Two experts with different opinions? No! You’re shitting me!! You want to try dealing with hifi speaker designers. I must have dealt with more than 20 in the last couple of decades and...

Hi Seth, I am afraid that you have to ditch the fretboard and start again. 1mm out will be easily detectable and given how much work the rest of the guitar is going to take it would be crazy to carry ...

@johnnierox-boo I meant another cover plate on the back so only the pick up itself would be visible from the front

Recently the forums seem to have hit a critical mass of activity where quite often messages have dropped out of the ‘recent posts’ window before I (and I suspect others) have read them. Is it possible...

@tv1010101 completely agree. I am planning on laminating (quelle surprise!!) a matching mahogany cover for the electric macca rather than using plastic.

@clinton I especially like the green monster! Very cool! It really suits the style of the guitar.

I’m really interested in the Tune-O-Matic (or any other product from Wallace and Grommet Ltd). Is it just wired in as a separate pick up or is it always paired with another? How acoustic does/can it a...

Or could the mounting plates be fixed into a recess in the front so that they sit flush with the surface?

I know it would mean having another cover plate but couldn’t they be mounted from behind to avoid having the visible recesses for the screw fixings?

@johnnierox-boo don’t worry. I have days when making sense feels like a second language!!

And do they need to have any means of adjusting the height and angle of the pick up?

@tv1010101 I could make these out of 6mm thick solid HP laminate. Not metal, but easy to tap threads into for machine screw fixings. What is the aim of these blocks as I don't quite understand the adv...

Hey Mark Is it possible for the site to incorporate a World map with pins showing where all the forum members are? It would be great to watch your membership spread over the surface of the Earth like ...

That is one beautiful piece of Rio!! You can understand why it's nearly all gone when you see that can't you?

The joke doesn’t work with Shiraz!!

@marcel Accidents are just an unexpected opportunity to learn something new. Craftsmanship isn’t about making no mistakes, its about learning how to fix them in such a way that nobody would know they ...

@david-johnson09 It could be worse - you might be telling us that you are drinking a lovely glass of white wine and have got a semillon!!!

I also loved the Beatles Rickenbackers and owned a blue 620 for a while but sold it after our band split. Still regret it. Now that was a guitar with lots of knobs and switches, stereo output and two ...
