I'd be up for a build - that's for sure. I need an acoustic - but will ask Mark to do one for me. Can't afford the multiple visit times. I'd be looking to build a Curve neck-through with one of those ...

I finally was able to finish this kit guitar. Tele thinline with a bigsby-like tremolo tom bridge and 2 HB'sThis was a Christmas gift from my girlfriend and daughter 🙂 The neck was repurposed for anot...

@tv101 I think Mark is a master of the understatement. Whack is probably the technical term for precise fitting.

Apologies to those expecting to see me whack the frets in - I checked my drawing and to my surprise - Mother of Pearl Dots are required ! That's why I always say Check Twice - Cut Once!! Remember: Its...

Apologies to those expecting to see me whack the frets in "whack them in" ??? I was expecting to see them precision fitted by an expert's practised hand. Not "whacked in". 😆 😆

@rashdown_online It’s the ONLY reason to move house... It's crap. I have a BNIB Triton router, a bunch of templates and various tools. But I also have a shitty flimsy shed with no solid floor or wall...

Please make the next question harder @rashdown_online ... OK... Why did chemical warfare get to the point where there's a global lock down meaning I can't get my Walnut guitar finished, collected and...

Get your drinking head on There'll be a bottle or two of Cognac in the boot @Deej ...

I’m fed up with this covid lark. Not long now @Boo. Relaxation of lockdown dovetailing nicely with Spring arriving. You're about to get *very* busy in the gardening game ... FWIW, our gardener has ...

and see how far it is Just south of Ayr @rocknroller912. TBH, it's a PITA to get to - it's a min 7hr (400mile) drive for me, just not the sort of thing I'd do *every* weekend. Not far from Prestwick...

So, who's going, for what?? @tv101 I would love to go but I have no money left, I need to start earning again, I’m fed up with this covid lark. I’m on the bones of my arse financially, I’ve spent all...

...the broken sides appear to be the top since the "good" bottom pieces are flat... '

why did i order a martin kit with pre-bent guitar sides? ...well, it took 2 months to get the bending machine? i love this question! ...the only reason you are asking this is that it would be ea...

I don’t know a thing about acoustic guitars but that definitely isn’t good, I feel your pain man. You will find help here though, no problem. Keep the faith. ✊

Good thinking there @deej, that sounds like you’re on the right track to me... and just out of curiosity @rajbcpa why did you order bent sides when you have a side bending jig?

@tv101 I would like to do an acoustic course but have not signed up yet. I've never been there and only have a motorbike so am waiting for lockdown to finish and see how far it is

Posted by: @ @Deej you're a lucky puppy! I REALLY NEED A WORKSHOP!!!! Is it wrong to move house just to have a garage so I can build a bench and use a router?

I really fancied making a 335 too @Deej, but I've never really got on with the body shape. I just find them too big to be comfortable. I've got a 335-equivalent Yam SA700 at the moment, and it barely...

@boo Where can I find a picture of the finished body, please? Am sending a "please donate" email to Matt at Monty's Pickups for any donations 🙂 Cheers.

I can donate these unopened Iron Gear pickups. Parchment covers so may not work but may be able to source new covers to match the guitar. If those pickups are chosen then @boo can just paint them dam...
