My neck heel carving is done now, that took forever to get to a shape that I'm happy with. I had to take off a bit more than I had intended, due to my first saw cut going a tad too deep. Attachment...

Did you spend hours mulling over which font to use........ I've spent months over it and still can't decide what to go for. @Russ, I certainly did. I tried hand writing, I had pages of my own signat...

I am however interested in an anodized brushed aluminum pickguard but as that’s not something so easily attained I’ll stick to without for now. @matt-beels A bass I made ... Attachment : 20171230...

There are those that make wooden truss rod covers but they’re strong enough. I’ve seen the wooden ones (Taylor for example) split along the grain. Sure they look good and add a nice touch but they ult...

Wow.... that colour is stunning............. I'd go for direct mounting........ Keep it as clean as possible....

@eddie6string Here’s my Root Beer Jem. It originally had pink pickups and a black guard. They both had to go 😂 Attachment : 4917D445-7E8E-4EE1-936B-830FCB1A7245.jpeg Can you believe the...

@tv101 @eddie6string @mattbeels You all make good valid arguments for not having plastic pick guards etc and I agree in some cases. Just so you know, I’m not having a go at anyone, I’m just messing ab...

Can you believe they covered up that beautiful finish with a black piece of plastic?!? @mattbeels Now, in this case, I agree with you. That wood needs to be on full view, I would not cover that up wi...

Like this Pickguard @eddie6string Yeah that is stunning, I agree, I wouldn’t cover that up, it’s beautiful. 👍

The short answer is “thereabouts” because you have some fine adjustment available by moving the saddles back/forwards on the Tele bridge. I would set my saddles in the middle (ish) of their adjustment...

Hi Newbie planning on a build, but I'm not a guitar player. It's for my son. How important or should I say is there a finite measurement for the placement of the bridge in relation to the bone nut.......

Cheers@boo. I have thought about maybe using ebony veneers to make scratch plates but I imagine it wouldn't be scratch free for long. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

I have to say that I do like a scratch plate.......as I've mentioned many times before that I'm a bit of a Fender Freak...... I am looking into alternatives to plastic but probably can't rule it out a...

Gold mounting rings if the rest of the hardware is gold....

@eddie6string Q: Clear Pickguard or Gold Mounting rings, Waddayafink? Well, since you asked... neither. Personally I don’t much care for pickguards, pickup frames or gold hardware 😂 so I say...

You really can't beat a bit of Swamp Ash for a body. I've heard it said that, once you've played a Swamp Ash body, no other guitar can ever come close. You might get seduced by other shiny guitar-sha...

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment.....a wee tune to celebrate Burns...... 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Hi guys. Thought I'd share my fist (and currently only) attempt at a BYO. Went quite well, if I might say. And she's matured really nicely. Mahogany neck; Ebony fretboard; Swamp Ash body; Wenge cap; G...

Hey everyone, Hope you are all keeping well! I want to cut 5.5-6mm rings for my marker dots, which I will fill with synthetic crushed opal. I want to keep the maple wood in the middle so the grain...

A guest at my work insisted to talk to the Chef. I told the General Manager not at the moment for I am busy cooking and to give me a sec. The guest walks in the kitchen and compliments my Mushroom Tru...
