@koendb  Be careful with adding extra veneer at a later stage as you might find it’s too thick for the tuners to fit. Very thin veneer over the back will cover the plugged holes but it would need to be…   Read more»

@koendb That is truly amazing work. 🙌

That does look very nice indeed @koendb 👍

@koendb Woohaaa, brilliant!

Posted by: @koendb I still cant see the videos here on this forum, but I am able to download them , then watch em with Quicktime Player on my mac. That Junior looks bad ass ! Hi @koendb. If you…   Read more»

You will have the strings on soon I think.

Posted by: @koendb You got this @russ . Just make sure they are thin enough.. My first one was about 2.4mm and it took me more then 3 hours, The second side , I thinned further down to 2.14~2.18mm and…   Read more»

Good job

@koendb Thanks.  Slow progress but getting there. Bridge on tomorrow followed by fret levelling etc. Cheers

@koendb Excellent result, you are gaining confidence in your own ability which is going to move you up to another level of building. It looks like you have a good grain match also. So placing the new dot ?

@koendb There are some quick and easy methods of checking the neck angle to get the bridge height without using mm scales which are hard to read. I have a violin tool which is a ready guide but it would…   Read more»

@koendb Incredibly neat, clean and precise work, I’m enjoying watching you build this guitar. 👍

Posted by: @koendb Mark talks about 2mm clearance at the bridge position, mine is 2.8mm~3mm. Does that just mean that your saddle would be 1mm taller?   I can’t see that 1mm would make a huge difference – but then my…   Read more»

Posted by: @koendb I think that it would not matter if you make sure you have contrasting side dots, or make the side dots in two tone, just make em big enough. If the outer circle is black, and the…   Read more»
