@cheesewhisk Well you’ve gone and done it now, right on! Crazy headstock design, cool that you’ve done something different. I see that you also changed the lower horn for (presumably) better fret acce...

@cheesewhisk A one piece blank for an Explorer?!? That’s yuge! Attachment : image.gif

@osceola I think it looks killer! You did a great job on that volute too. That fretboard looks awesome as well, what kind of wood is it?

I finally got started on my bandsman, this is my third build, my first since finding the site and live streams. Decided to make up a laminate neck blank and ended up having a slight issue with the thi...

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.......

@cheesewhisk Practicing on scrap is one of the most important golden rules! I learned that chunk of wisdom from the mighty Dan Erlewine but it took me a while to actually implement it. 😂 I’ll ...

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. @cheesewhisk We are all in the same boat, we all have proof. 🤣 Sometimes I think my workshop s...

And I’m gearing up to prove it!

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. That theory has been tested many times ... I've got the guitars to prove it 😋

Cheers for answering my head stock questions on the live stream @markbailey In answer to your question 'how big is this headstock anyway?' it's here above, obviously under the thread entitled 'Neck An...

Thanks @clinton Did some more template work today, need to pick up some smaller screws for the actual neck angle.

@cheesewhisk. That is a keeper! May many neck blanks be surface routed on that!

@cheesewhisk I know what you mean about that edit button, it’s just sitting there... mocking you. Your jig looks great btw, let’s see some more.

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...
