Posted by: @roel what kind of guitars have you built?? @Roel - I've built a few since my first Bailey course. I've posted some of them here ... ... and a couple more here ... ?

@tv1010101 hey mate, yeah multi-scale a bit tricky, especially marking out the frets. I made the bridge plate from 2mm aluminium, and sourced the individual bridge units through Aliexpress, they are t...

@clinton Hi Clinton, 25.5" for the low E and 24.0" for the high E. The high strings are really easy to bend. cheers

Hi Roel - seen you on the live-streams - great to see one of your builds too. Lots of people start with a Tele (simple construction) ... but a *multi-scale* Tele is a bit unusual! Looks really good, ...

I've not built one *yet*, so I can't share any experience. However, I'm starting with one of these (which is quite technical) and one of these (which is a lot more hands-on practical) I've put...

@tv1010101 Ayr has always been a good place for live music. When I lived there in the 70s every weekend was solid music sessions from end of work on Friday to Sunday night closing time.

@david-johnson09 If you've got plastic corks in these bottles, iv'e found that they're good for cleaning sand paper.

Soldering was one of the things I had problems with when I started building guitars - there are a couple of hard won tips and tricks I'd like to pass on to make your life a little easier. Today I'll s...

There's a definite knack to soldering ... but once you've sussed it, it's a very handy skill to have ... Attachment : 20200220_154906.jpg Attachment : 20200506_134817.jpg That's a bit ...

It’s not always about learning something new (we get that on the new live feeds plus other sources) it’s about being with nice, like minded people and having a lovely time while learning different way...
