One of my many unfinished projects is a 12 string guitar but I've also got a half naked idea (and a nut) for a 7 string acoustic so I'm keen to follow this thread

I missed the livestream too..... had to do that work thing to pay for things like rent, food, leccy, wood .... watching ot now. I've already emailed SantaCarol to make sure I'm not on the naughty lis...

Looking forward to this thread Louis! I agree with Russ - this could be the start of something wonderful for you 😃

I’ve got as far as staining and oiling wood. Beyond that, it’s all black magic I feel ya Bruv! We need a finishing course that covers (pun intended) stuff like this too. 😆 Innit! Maybe we...

If Blackpool's further north than Exeter then it's too cold for me 🥶 Nothing wrong with seedy pubs though 😉

I know Bailey World is Global but just curious to know where people are..... Partly out of curiosity and partly as a way to possibly bring folk together in a 'guitar builders in sheds' kind of way &#x...

@igeorgebot Welcome to Baileyworld! The time for 'considering' is over...... the time for actually signing up is now! Do it..... you have nothing to loose as there's no contract - and so much to gai...

Ha hey! Another victim to the addiction 🤣 There's no going back now..... you can check out but you can never leave 😉

I have complete respect for anyone who builds acoustics, sir! You sweet talking thang squire.... I found the acoustic course so relaxing and chilled that it was never not going to work. I'd recommend...

You seem to be remarkably calm about it all. I think I'm just a bit catatonic just now...... and I'm match fit you know. If I had a quid for every cock up I've ever made I'd be richer than say..........

Memento mori my friend.. . Memento mori 🥲

@tv101 I reckon I hadn't matched the curve of the truss rod to the curve of the slot and ran out of thread on the bullet nut...... just poor planning me thinks..... my fault entirely for thinking I kn...
