Cheers - will give them a go!

@dirtbike I’m also in Gloucestershire! I have been to Baileys twice with another visit in the planning and have also built 2 at home - been a bit quiet on the build front for about a year….. I have an...

Well done on your design Roddy! My mate Dave, Dave’s son David (yes confusing) and I have a workshop course booked in early October……. Already looking forward to it……

I had visited the Iron Gear site - was worried they were too cheap……. I have used Bare Knuckles, SD, Creamery…. Also have a pair of Wilkinson Zebras in my Bandsman based build. All sound good…. Will p...

I am thinking of replacement for the Mexican Strat I sold last year. Three pickups - either three single core or pos two singles with a splittable humbucker in the bridge position. Any recommendatio...

The Mirka extraction hose is worth getting - same length as the mains lead and nice and flexible - plug hose and mains into vacuum and the extraction works really well……

I’ve got an electric Mirka - really like it - very controllable sanding.

Love Neil Young’s solo - off the wall!

My Back Pages - Dylan’s 30th anniversary of his first album.

Yes, think so……. He knows his stuff though.

Uncle Doug has done loads of videos of him repairing amps - this set building an amp from scratch have loads of really good tips. Think he is a Republican from the Southern States……

Cheers chaps! Retirement actually takes a bit of getting used to…………. Enjoying it though…

Hi all I have been absent from Guitar Making for a while and haven’t done any building for a while…. I completely retired in August. I spent some time sorting stuff - the garage where my workshop is...

Welcome Riccardo - we are all friendly here!

More zebras please!

@koendb - sorry missed that - with my Firebird wings were cut on bandsaw and routed to shape but the cutoffs were still close enough to clamp - guitar looking very good!

Back to glueing on the wings - if you cut out the wing shapes on your bandsaw keep the bits you cut off to use to clamp on the wings…….

@Rocknroller912 Thanks for that - sounds like a plan - I wondered about heat to soften glue but as you say as the bridge is not being reused then carefully remove/destroy………..

My acoustic has a problem - there are two splits in the bridge at either end and in front of the saddle. The guitar is an Ashton, Australian make, China built. It was a 50th birthday present from the...

I can't ever blame the volute for my playing being so bad.... The volute on my Firebird build is quite big but doesn't get in the way for some reason.... The neck is also quite big - a couple of mm d...
