Cheers Jonathan. Sound advice. 
🎶🙂🎸🙏

No personal experience, but having watched this I won’t be buying one. @jonhodgson Hi Jonathan, I notice in the video that the guy said that the Rider and Quangsheng were both midrange prices but when I checked the Quangsheng are…   Read more»

@jonhodgson.
Cheers Jonathan. I’ll keep looking around. 
🎶🙂🎸🙏

@jonhodgson thanks, I’ll have a look around the local glass suppliers and see what’s available. Scary sharp or similar is looking like the sensible way forward right now for what I need. Workshop Heaven is a dangerous shop 😧

@jonhodgson thanks for that, I’ve not settled on a sharpening method as yet, definitely need to sort it out though as all my chisels are a mess too and in need of TLC. Granite is over the top for me…   Read more»

You WILL need to know how to sharpen a plane though @jonhodgson happy to hear your advice on this one? Also curious as to the best approach to flatten the bottom of a plane given that the one I got…   Read more»

Why are people even bothering with the fillet? It’s not necessary with a modern truss rod.  @jonhodgson If people like me are following Mark’s course then it’s from that. The reason he states is to ensure that you don’t get…   Read more»

Why are people even bothering with the fillet? It’s not necessary with a modern truss rod.  @jonhodgson There is something very neat and elegant about putting the fillet in and it does save excess glue running into the slot when…   Read more»

No surcharge with these guys, but there is a £12 minimum order @jonhodgson That’s great, thanks for the link, I’ve ordered from them. I made up the order with a few different colours to get it to the minimum order….   Read more»

These guys have 6mm, which is about normal for a dot @jonhodgson Ah yeah but look what happens when you put a couple of 6mm rods at 600mm in length into your basket and try and purchase them. Thanks for…   Read more»

Thanks for the diagram @jonhodgson and it would be great if my wires were the same colours 🤣 🤣 From the single coil PUP I have red, white and a shield (the box says white and shield to ground) and…   Read more»

when I see some of those 8+ string monstrosities the djent types like, often with no fretmarkers, I wonder how the hell they find their way around, I’d need GPS! @jonhodgson I’m not a big djent fan (usually the music…   Read more»

Thanks Jonathan. It appears that Spain is the centre of the universe when it comes to tonewoods. In my searching I also found out about Maderas Barber from Valencia who I think may have some link with supplying Fender.

@jonhodgson Yeah, my thoughts exactly. 😆🤘😁🤘🎸

Now you just need a license to paint it in Vantablack @jonhodgson I don’t think Vantablack is robust enough to use on a guitar from what I’ve read. It’s ok for household object, lamps etc that aren’t going to be…   Read more»

They vary between tonal and ergonomic. @jonhodgson Wow! It’s a whole different mindset really. I can now see the advantages but I couldn’t imagine trying to play an 8 string multi scale instrument. I’m sure I could learn and get…   Read more»

You’re probably right @jonhodgson but since that’s the way Dan Erlewine does it, many will follow. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

It’s a boo guitar, I think you need to sneak a little shimmer in there!

@jonhodgson Fair enough. 🤣

I always think it seems a bit silly to use a 350 watt drill so you don’t put too much strain on your 1400W router! I think the idea there @jonhodgson is to lessen the strain on the router bits…   Read more»

Hmmm, now there’s a thought.. some metal flake in the bottom of the hole, then gluboost tinted yellow. @jonhodgson Well, I’ve got this epoxy resin and a load of pigments which have a shimmer to them. This may have to…   Read more»
