Truss rod is in and the small mahogany bead glued in on top now. Hopefully get the Fret Board Glued on tomorrow then it’ll never show! Had another learning opportunity today when I profiled the neck ...

That'll be the truss rod slot learning curve that you've routed there. 😆 @robin!

Thanks @Robin. Picked up a nice thick plank of mahogany today. I would really like to make a les Paul replica, bound, in Desert Burst finish, not sure that’ll be next though!

@peebee however, the error was not full depth or that long That'll be the truss rod slot learning curve that you've routed there. I'm fairly sure that we've all got one of these hidden under a fretb...

It would be useful to have a DM facility amongst members, but I guess you'd have to have a 'block ' option too. @eddie6string I think the Private Message option used to be here, but it's currently on...

So managed to get sometime in the garage and I actually started the real guitar. Did a few bits to the neck and marked out the body. Here are a couple of pics of the neck, truss rod channel routed and...

Some say it allows the guitar wood to interact/vibrate more with the lower strings - how they know, I can't guess?!? Branding iron used on every Body & Neck! If I could get consistent results, I'...

Reverse Headstock looks funky and has some harmonic benefits according to some. @eddie6string It looks great Eddie, I love reverse headstocks too, same as @mattbeels and for the same reasons. I haven...

@eddie6string ...has some harmonic benefits according to some. I‘ve never heard that before, aside from their dashing good looks people usually talk about how it (apparently) affects string tension/...

@eddie6string The stand/surface you operate it on will be a major factor in other folks' choice of weapon when they beat down your door! 😆😆😆 Thanks for the info, that’s exact...

Triton oscillating Sanders I have both. About as noisey as a small vacuum cleaner. The stand/surface you operate it on will be a major factor in other folks' choice of weapon when they beat down you...

Thanks Boo, experience is the greatest teacher and I already know how to do it differently next time to improve the process. What is difficult to appreciate, until you try it, is just how good at rout...

@peebee I'm planning to make a Les Paul replica later on in this year as well. I already have the flame top, pick ups, body blank, plans and some part made templates from clear plastic which I'm going...

Still the next guitar will be better @peebee Of course it will be better, you live and learn my virtual friend. Just keep building and learning and everything will be ok. Enjoy it. “Don’t try and mak...

Hi Boo I'm guessing that you have a fairly hefty compressor for the spray guns as those sanders can be pretty hungry for air. But they are so much more reasonably priced than a good ROS with an electr...

Nice! There's nothing quite so satisfying as a rousing chorus of 'Happy Birthday to Me'!! 'specially when it's sung to the tune of a Mirka pneumatic sander @darrenking! @Boo - what compressor are you...

As it is my birthday next week and nobody buys me presents any more, I’ve splashed out a bit and bought a new sander. Nice! There's nothing quite so satisfying as a rousing chorus of 'Happy Birthday ...

No one to buy you anything eh? Ohhhhh you poor baby, @boo hoo hoo... 😭😭😭 My heart goes out to you pal! 🥳🤩🤪
