Do you do big Gibson style inlays before radiusing a fretboard or after? How thick should the inlay material be?

On my course in June I assembled my build and did the set up without finish and then left it as it is a 6 hour drive each way from home so a second visit would have been a pain. Hardware was removed, ...

Hi Mike!

I did my first workshop course in September 2017..... Wasn’t sure what to expect - had vague ideas about an SG shaped guitar - rollercoaster ride for 6 days. Mahogany neck and body, birdseye maple c...

Built this guitar on my second workshop course. Alder body, spalted beech cap, crelicam ebony fretboard. 4 position switch (bridge, both parallel, neck, both series), Creamery bridge and SD neck. ...

What wood is Anthony using for his body?

I will get Carol to send me some pics of caps.....

I spent an enjoyable Saturday building jigs - have completed the headstock thickness, headstock angle and neck angle jigs - had already done the neck taper one. Fretboard caul still to do. Will order...

Thanks chaps - must download manuals - I have now three routers but they all came second hand on eBay.........

Rookie question - how far into the collett does a router bit have to go? I have done two workshop courses but Mark has swapped router bits - just been having a go with my router and realised that I ca...

Especially with my belly.............. What is the best way of cutting the 'not f' hole that shape - I assume that I should make a template - how sharp can the sharp point be?

I built a Telecaster Thinline on my workshop course in June. Thanks for the help with this - will mark out a template for the chambering at the weekend. How thick was the back of the guitar in the ch...

Back to the guitar..... 15mm from the outer edge to the cavity - is that enough? 6mm cap or thicker? The lower chamber is just an extension of the control cavity - thinking of connecting the chambers...

Have found loads of DIY shielding paints on YouTube - all so far use graphite powder as the conductive element suspended in some kind of water based solution, sodium silicate in a couple of cases. Wil...

Jigging along here in Frocester - bits of wood cut for headstock thickness and headstock angle jigs...........

@markbailey Have watched loads of YouTube stuff with table routers and table saws with exposed cutters and blades..........mostly from USA.........goggles, dust masks and ear-protectors are often miss...

Welcome neighbour!

Bought a nasty Encore ‘Fender’ neck on eBay for £5 to practice fret mashing - will get a chance to try out some tools....

Suppose that lots of guitar build processes could fall under scrutiny...........
