Not bragging,  but that’s about 5% of wood in pipeline. 
More trees to fell and plank yet.

Some of them are perhaps great candidates to cut up in small strips to make laminated necks. @koendb have you made laminated necks before, this is on my “to do” list after my first build. Partly due to the excellent…   Read more»

Knowing yourself is the start of wisdom’ 😋 

@koendb Yup, from Aristotle I believe and that adage makes me a wiseguy. Oh jeez I just can’t stop! Ba dum tissssssss

If was fine actually @koendb, I’m just a goofball 🤪

@koendb It looks like it cane out well, great job! I like the vintage just before dinner look. 😉

@koendb Wow! Have fun. 🤘😁🤘🎸

Posted by: @koendb Do you need a curve in the slot if you use a double action truss rod?Or perhaps, I should ask, is there a reason why Mark used a single action truss rod in the one piece neck…   Read more»

Where did you get yours from?

@koendb There are three different sizes.

@koendb I got one of these the other week, it does the trick. 

@koendb I would say no matter which construction method that you choose, go with something around 10-12 degrees. I think those Gibson 15-17 degree headstocks look cool but they are just too much. For example Texas Toast use a 7…   Read more»

I miss talking ( or rather, listening ) to people with a good story while having a beer

Yup, you said it dude @koendb 

Yep, it’s going to make a comeback though, have you heard? ✊

@koendb
Its hard to chat on the web without getting comments and people mixed up, maybe we should organise a zoom meeting or something.

@tv101 @koendb I wouldn’t call it a correction your point of view is just as valid as mine and I think you are better qualified in electronics than me. In factory guitars it’s probably just cost. 70s amplifiers weren’t good…   Read more»

@koendb Sometimes it’s easier to start jobs like fitting tuners by hand if you haven’t got a jig to line them up, because the more pressure you put on a drill bit the more likely it is to slide with…   Read more»

@koendb Installing vintage style tuners is a pain. The biggest problem are the bushings as there isn’t a standard between manufacturers and getting the right size hole is also annoying as they are always some weirdo 6.24 or whatever and…   Read more»

Cheers @koendb @mattbeels I kept carving into and thinking, well something else I suck at. @tv101 this is the bit I’ve really been looking forward to and it really paid off, I’m stupidly proud of it already, such a great…   Read more»

@koendb I love the reuse of an item, well impressed, proves we don’t need preminium swamp ash or alike…Leo would have used worktops if they were cheap enough. Great project, you should be rightly proud of yourself…nice guitar fella.

That’s cool @koendb. They look pretty good and they’re quite reasonably priced, a tad on the thin side though, be careful! Besides you should make copies and not use the master but you probably already knew that, right? 😉 Speaking…   Read more»

Looks great @koendb, congrats! 
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the V, those are pretty much my favorite guitars. Did you get your template from G&W?
