And, just to repeat, don't beat yourself up. We've all done similar, or worse. (I've done plenty worse!!)

But i think i have screwed up. We don't allow the term "screwed up" here. It's called a "learning opportunity". Just about all of us make sure that every build provides us with at least one learnin...

Louis Think we would need a photo to be able to comment, but filling in the holes with dowel to get a new centre and drilling again bigger is a plan. Mark did a tube live recently on finding the centr...

Hi all I haven't been able to work much on my guitar. But i think i have screwed up. You guys told me that if there were errors in the process i had to share it so here i go. I have been doing the inl...

There isn't much room on the headstock to do an inlay, also it's a bit ambitious for a first build. I think it would look good if you signed your name on the body and then sealed it with a clear coat....

@louis-kerckhove For me “the personal touch” is simply the name on the headstock. Pretty traditional I know but hey I’m an electric guitar player, we’re rather conservative, right?!? Your guitar is al...

Hi all! I did some more work on the guitar, some sanding and stuff. I will be installing the fretboard soon. I was thinking about giving my guitar a personal touch. I would like to have my name or s...

Congrats on the progress Louis! Looking great for a first build. Actually, looking great for a second, third, fourth (!) build. Nice work. 😎

@mattbeels I removed most of the material from the neck with a milling machine. My grandad fired it up so we could do most of the removal with machine. It still has te be sanded, it now has a kind of ...

@louis-kerckhove Excellent work! Your neck carve looks great, which tools did you use? I wonder if a Shinto Rasp would be good for wenge 🤔 You may want to consider reshaping the bottom horn fo...

Hi Louis Your build is looking good I hope it plays as good as it looks

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is doing allright. Today i did some neck carving and routed the neck pocket. I also cut out the shape, it starts to look like a guitar. I also have a picture of the assemb...

I just did my last exam today, it went well and now i have 3 weeks off. The rest of my parts for the build arrived and i am ready to finally finish this project! More updates coming soon! Attachmen...

Don’t forget to leave them a few mm longer than their final length. Get them in and then trim and file flush. Have fun! Yep, what he said. 🙄👆

@louis-kerckhove When cutting your frets to length, a good tip is to start at the last fret. That way if you cut one (or three) too short you can still use it. Say you’re on the 19th and you cut it to...

Thanks man! I will order the rest of my parts from the site u recommended. Thanks for the input, i really apreciate it! @louis-kerckhove No probs, it’s a good shop, I get a lot of stuff from there. &...

@Boo Thanks man! I will order the rest of my parts from the site u recommended. Thanks for the input, i really apreciate it! Cheers! Louis

@louis-kerckhove Buy two coils of this medium jumbo Louis, it will be enough for the whole guitar. When you are cutting each length, remember each fret is a different length so measure each one on the...

The fretwire is prebent and has a 9,5inch radius to it, would this fit in my premade fretboard that i bought from mark that has a 12 inch radius? I don't know where but i heard it but fretwire should ...

Hi Guys, I am still looking for fretwire. I currently have a epiphone SG that i play often, it has medium jumbo fretwire. I really like how the fretwire feels, i think i prefer medium-jumbo frets. S...
