GREAT! Thanks for sharing that @petersoyanov I'll be demoing a super simple version of this on Sat - Guitar Making Tech - Clamping and Holding

There it is guys - the bench I was speaking about earlier. I need to mention again that this is not my idea. It was given to me by Nino Marsolo - A hobby luthier from Zurich. Attachment : Gui...

I am enjoying it more and more. I’ve built a few in a row recently and I think that is a great way to hone the skill and reinforce my understanding of the process. Indeed it is good to try and build d...

I’ve heard Cherry is a good tone wood. I've used Cherry on a build (or two, quite possibly) and think I've still got the remains of a plank somewhere. It ages really nicely. The grain and colours se...

Hey guys! Just started looking into this fella here... Attachment : IMG_20200830_103557.jpg Attachment : IMG_20200830_103557.jpg Attachment : 1598776969460813309998310320882.jpg ...

I’d say 60s or (very) early 70s. There were a multitude of similar things produced in that era, under various different brands, mostly cheap and not hugely well made. It was really the period in whi...

Attachment : IMG_20200830_144106.jpg anyone have an idea what wood is this?

@tv1010101 the workshop and the recording / rehearsals room are next to each other. Plus I am talking to a neighbor who's father is too old to run the carpenter workshop. @clinton the wood was just cu...

Hi Yes, I have seen Chestnut on Guitars, dulcimer sand ukekeles. They tend to have wormy holes which is part of the charm. You can play with epoxy resin to fill it in. Looks like you got yourself ...

sadly they need to go because they sit where the house is projected to be Don't forget to build a decent sized workshop too, alongside the house. Work out how big a workshop you might ever need, with...

Long term plan - Me and my girlfriend just bought a piece of land in in the countryside here in Switzerland. On it there are 6 trees 3 cherries , 2 apples and 1 chestnut (the edible kind). sadly the...

@simon1138 Also, if you get through to the end of a build without catastrophe, you end up with a decent guitar to play. Have a go! Glue together some bits of 4x2 or 6x2 or anything you have and then ...

@simon1138 Thank you, it’s good to see people being inspired by what I’m doing, I never thought that would happen. The good thing is about using pallet wood/scrap wood is that you can try out lots of ...

i am left handed and like the idea of building something from scrap/pallet wood. i really like the finish on it and the rustic look of it. nice and shiny too but with the cracks in the wood give it a ...

@tv1010101 Thank you very much sir, I appreciate the kind words. I agree about the plain ones, I think traditionally people like them for their simplicity. I have made many Teles now and I think I’ve ...

It’s all starting to come together and looking better than I thought it would, even though I say so myself. Attachment : EFBD6946-1A41-4AF5-9762-15E3FD5179A4.jpeg Attachment : CF6E9EB3-E13C...

That looks excellent. Somehow, Teles seem to look good to me when they have some "interesting" design features. Perhaps the relative plain-ness of an ordinary Tele makes the interesting ones stand ou...

Bridge on, alignment check and pickup placement before drilling the holes. Making a left handed guitar is very confusing the first time you do it but I’m getting there. Attachment : BD1ABA28-EACC...

Has anyone built a neck with a zero fret? Good idea or not? How do you get the fret height right? Seems like it's a lot more effort to adjust the height of a fret than the height of a nut slot if you...

@tv1010101 Yeah, that is the very idea my good man! I’ve got a build coming up that requires something like this, he only wants a bridge pickup and doesn’t want a scratch plate. If I use a thin (8mm) ...
