@jamesbisset
Where can we hear it James? 
🎸🙂🎶🙏

@markbailey @tv101 @jamesbisset
What’s it like having the two of them in the same room? 🤣…..A lot of shenanigans I imagine…..🤣 
Good to see you all working away.
🎸🙂🎶🙏

@jamesbisset The cutaway is not quite cut yet. Major but Minor adjustment it seems like and it is your only recourse with a slight adjusting of the humps.

@jamesbisset 
I always thought you had the hump about something just couldn’t work it out, so I’m clear on what it is now thanks 

This  wouldn’t be important if I was making a double cutaway or no cutaway – it’s only significant if the guitar is not symmetrical across the centreline. But if I’m making…   Read more»

@jamesbisset
Nice work James. Really looking forward to this one progressing.

@jamesbisset 

Can you see what it is yet?

@jamesbisset The mould is mirrored?

@jamesbisset He said on the live he did on carving the neck. Initial facets are about a 3rd in at the heel then run the line down the neck with your finger aginst the side. Then about the fretboard thickness…   Read more»

@jamesbisset That initial carve, instead of a 1/3 in on both sides, go in a 1/4 on one side and a 1/3 on the other. Or do a 1/3 in on each side at the nut then alter it further…   Read more»

@jamesbisset  Thanks for the recommendations and encouragement folks. I’ve decided to go on with the neck as it is. This is my first ever full build and it’s effectively a prototype. I’d rather keep going and accumulate all the f**k…   Read more»

@jamesbisset  I once removed a bridge that was glued with Titebond type glue from a factory guitar using a domestic iron and some brown paper. Heat does soften the glue but you have to be paint and go slowly to…   Read more»

@jamesbisset if a replacement fretboard isn’t a problem then yeh, I’d go with getting it off even if it got ruined.
 
With factory fretboards I’ve managed to remove a couple but titebond seems proper tight! Lol

And – before you make your next mistake – check with Bill first.
 

@jamesbisset 
I know I’m a smart ass being wise after the event but I use water based glue for anything I might want to remove.

@jamesbisset 13 – 16k is generally where I like with a bridge humbucker. I find wide variations though from muddy to superb singing clarity in that range.

@clinton
Thanks this is useful, I thought that shaping the veneer before gluing would be needed and didn’t think of a heat gun.
@jamesbisset
looks like this method works
