@Boo @TV @Eddie6string Just wanna say. I totally admire your builds. 3 different styles but all spectacular builds. Mos’ def my major influences at guitar building. I have made 3 bolt ons in a row. M...

I find bolt on necks and parallel headstocks so much more difficult and challenging than set necks. Is it just me? That's interesting @clinton. I've always thought of set necks as being more "difficu...

@Eddie6string Exactly! The nut slot. My nemesis.

I thought it time that I actually did some guitar making, rather than just fannying around with jigs and shit, and so here is an update on my first electric build! The body and neck of my electric Mac...

What you learn first will always be easier! @eddie6string and @clinton Yeah I think this is true. The first neck I made from scratch was the set neck for the Bandsman but before that I mainly messed ...

I am the opposite. I find bolt on necks and parallel headstocks so much more difficult and challenging than set necks. Is it just me? Or does anyone else has that struggle? Getting better after my 3rd...

So I’ve finally gotten that new workshop, it’s been almost a week now... Unfortunately it was in rather poor shape and for whatever reason the previous tenant wasn’t required to paint. Which is unusua...

Maybe Bareknuckle too? @boo hmm, I think @eddie6string is friends with Tim Mills so maybe he could ask? Maybe not, just a thought...

Thanks @eddie6string That is cool 😎 I’m so chilled out now. Nice one. 👍

Let me know if this tune plays. @eddie6string There is nothing there Eddie, no link.

Ya big soppy sod Eddie... but who can blame you? Hope you have many happy years together and, if Carol is still encouraging your guitar building, and she’s happy to allocate storage space, I’d suggest...

MORE acceptable than GG? Couldn't get away with this today !!!!!!! @eddie6string - I have to admit to instances of going home with a little* schoolgirl. Mind, I was a little* schoolboy at the time. ...

Ahhhhhh ... Wasn't everybody so young back then?

Hi Guys Here a few pics of my first Bailey Guitar...All supplied from Mark except the Waalnut knobs I made. It was a present for my Dad, hence the RAY on the headstock... Lo Attachment : 20201122_...

Very sad to hear that - he inspired a generation...

Is there any information on what happened? I believe it was cancer. He'd been struggling for a while, but had hoped to see the 3rd edition of his book finished and published. Sadly, he didn't make it...
