@tv101 It’s looking good T, messy job that surface routing isn’t it? It works though. 👍It’s got a lovely grain that plank, it will come up a treat with some finish on it.

Nice job @tv101. Looking forward to seeing it develop. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@tv101 That is is gonna be one beautiful guitar. Long way to go but you’ve got the skills T. Keep the progress pictures coming. 👍

Posted by: @tv101 If all goes to plan I'll not use those pickup rings. Nor any pickup rings. @tv101 Yeah I’ve had that idea too. I looked into several ways of doing it, bought some stuff to do it b...

Just like this ... Attachment : 20220130_131930.jpg And now getting glued together Attachment : 20220130_134153.jpg After taking the photo, I realised that the wedges weren't positione...

@robin Yeah I suppose it does but I think I agree with your thoughts on playability as well, it could get very confusing.

@boo The pale moon ebony looks good, it flows out nicely from the lava lamp effect. I think I'd find it confusing to play though.

I’m trying to plan what woods to use for the neck and fretboard. I’m looking at fretboards today. What do you think? Is this pale moon ebony too much? 🤣 (I think so) Or this piece of Panga Pan...

Posted by: @koendb Whats the plan for tomorrow then? The plan was to get a bit more done than I actually got done - unfortunately I didn't manage to get as much time out there as I'd hoped. Because ...

Posted by: @koendb It s loosely based on Brian May's guitar, but symmetrical shaped horns instead. @koendb Yeah, cool shape for a uke. 👍

@koendb I’m sorry I can’t answer your question about the bridge clearance height as I haven’t made an acoustic guitar yet. Everything looks great though, just see what some of the acoustic guys and ma...

Coming along nicely @koendb. Great work. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

@robin Thanks for the tip, I’ll bear it in mind nearer the time. 👍

@boo Someone bought me that exact same book last year and I’ll be doing the same as you and build some out of whatever detritus I can repurpose. Dont rely on the imperial to metric conversion thou...

Good to be back @Russ - I'm just hoping that I can stick to "I've started, so I'll finish". It was good r&r yesterday. First time I've managed to do anything guitar-building related for many a m...

Workshop time booked for tomorrow. If I can remember the way out there.

Madness. Love it. I keep saying this @Boo - you have some serious skills.

@boo And by complete coincidence, that is the name of this particular purple candy paint. Maybe its not coincidence, but looking good nevertheless.
