How about an extension module to the electric guitar course... carving a top?

Mandolins manage 22 frets on a 14" scale length The very cool sounding Emerald Guitars Amicus (short scale 12 string) has 22 frets on an 18 inch scale length.

Hi Guys, I'm trying to CAD up the design for a Telecasterish guitar (it has certain differences, 24 frets. marginally smaller body, etc) The problem is where to locate the bridge plate (Gotoh GT201, 6...

it is for a little girl after all. @boo, it may be for a little girl, but It's not twee, it's just a touch glam! I could play that at my regular Rock Jam (well I could if it was left handed) and I'd ...

@darrenking Thought it would be something like that.The diagrams assume the person doing the soldering is familiar with the common practice in guitar wiring of soldering the terminal directly to the b...

@darrenking, I can see only two ways that the volume control in that circuit would not turn the sound right down to zero 1) It's a dodgy pot, and the minimum setting is not 0 ohms between the middle t...

I've so far managed to resist the GAS directive to buy a Mirka, I don't know how long that will last.But I will say that even if you don't buy the Mirka sander, I can highly recommend the Mirka Abrane...

@Tej, I thought about laser cutting a template for paint, but the problem with that is you need a design with no holes in it, but it might be a good solution if your design works in that respect. I'm ...

It is a bit much for a one off. People seem to have quite a bit of success with DIY transfers on YouTube. I also wonder about screenprinting something. But I've just remembered that there is a little...

@darrenking what's the best way to message you?

@tej The labelling isn't 100% consistent between manufacturers, but superglue goes from a thick gel like consistency down to the super-thin which is like water in a hurry (it will wick into tiny gaps ...

Culture Hustle may have the pinkest pink, but I think Boo may have the sparkliest pink.

There's no fish oil in it, that's an urban myth that's actually mentioned on their website "Myths and Fun Facts" page. The exact formula is a secret, but between the information they have to provide o...

@boo considering how much money people will pay for a reliced guitar maybe there's a business opportunity here for a whole new class of buggered finish?

@boo Thanks, I've pointed him in the direction of your instagram and made positive comments about what I've seen of your work. I think he's considering his options while he gets stuck into removing th...

Don't use a WD40 rag when you should be using an oily rag, the pros will know you're an amateur because you're confusing WD40 with oil and either sneer or laugh.. or both at the same time (would that ...

@rocknroller912 I doubt very much he'd go for an oil finish. He just commented he might want to go for the same colour as his AC Cobra replica, which I can see working. Attachment : steves_cobra...

Hi, This isn't for me (I want to try my hand at finishing my own) but a friend of mine has a Fender Jaguar that is now looking a bit worn and he just asked me if I had any idea what it would cost to r...

@ndakota there's a video where Chris from Highline Guitars talks about how he handles oil soaked rags (or, more precisely, "handled" as he now uses alternative finishes when he wants the oil look). Yo...

@tej I suspect it's a combination of1) fretboards are usually a tight grained wood 2) He wipes it off straight away Obviously try it for yourself on a piece of scrap first if you can, but I don't thin...
