Seeing Deej's first build made me realise I never posted mine. I've been a member for ages but I'm sorry to say pretty inactive on the forum. Seeing weekly vids on youtube has made me want to be come ...

Thanks Deej @david-johnson09 To be brutally honest, sometimes I finish a guitar and think "yup, that one's done". With this one, I really like it. It plays well, it sounds good, the weight is fine (...

It's a Bulldog P90 in the neck position, and an overwound Rolling Mill in the bridge. The former I picked up somewhere, sometimes. The latter was from another build that I de-built at some point in...

He certainly was! The first coat was a sealer, the others a satin finish.

@marcel Yep, great little video. It does go through me a bit because it have got a bit of tendinitis in my left arm because of holding guitars up and out whilst spraying. I’m going to build a guitar h...

But then all Strats look the same .. @tv1010101 No, this is a wonderful looking Strat. Well done!

Seeing yours ... Reminded me that I've not picked this up in a while ... Though mind has a Walnut top over a chambered Ash body - so very different in materials. But then all Strats loo...

I do like mahogany although I have stopped using it now due to my issue with the Amazon being destroyed. Likewise, I'm a little uncomfortable with the Amazon being burned down, but there are plenty o...

Here's a clip of "Akoestische Heeren" when we played at a silver wedding anniversary. Stijn is the guitar player on the left, the one in the middle is Dirk and the guy on the bass is me.

So a couple of years ago I decided to try and make a 12-string myself. This is beautiful @marcel, I have thoughts of making a 12 string one day. You are inspiring me.
