@tv101 Great review Tony, very detailed. I’ll be glad to contribute my opinion so thanks for sending it on, I appreciate it and thanks Darren for including me.

Macassar ebony? @tv101 I’m not sure actually, I bought it off Mark a while ago, I’ll have to ask him. @markbailey Mark, what kind of Ebony is this, can you remember?

That is definitely a *very* nice piece of ebony @boo. I've got something like that on a fretboard on one of my guitars. Macassar ebony?

I think I will go with the Ebony but there is no harm in looking at other options. This cherry neck blank is from the same batch I bought that I made this one from and I can see the figuring in it alr...

I'm still wondering what wood to use for my neck blank. @tv101 I’m using Cherry for the neck and a nice piece of Ebony for the fretboard. I think I’m progressing fairly quick because I’m using all ...

I bought a kit for my first home build for that reason, to make my build a close fit to the course build but that was shipped to the UK. I did add a cap to the kit and had the body blank thickness r...

Wondering if anyone has bought the electric kit and shipped to the US. How long did it take? Also anyone else have any luck just buying all the parts on their own? I feel like my best chance at suc...

Awesome thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I am diving in to the "Design your own guitar" videos this weekend.

@e-den-hertog 😝

That was where I was, 13 years ago. @markbailey won't remember after all this time, but before I stepped inside his workshop, I couldn't saw a piece of wood in half without something going wrong. I ...

@pdxguitar Aloha The course is awesome! It takes the doubt and guess work out. Welcome to the community and Mark’s long time students have guided me along the way within the past 6 months. Since th...

@deej Well, I'm good to go 🙂 Had my flu jab earlier this week, so I'm all protected. That Covid thing is just like flu, right? I'm -seriously- still thinking about how we could do a more inter-active...

@Boo - the prototype will be headed your way early next week. @darrenking - thanks again for trusting me with it, and for the rapid responses to the feedback! @markbailey - get these in the shop!!
