I wiped all the candy off this guitar and started with a clean slate again. I played around with some masking techniques, trying different shapes and patterns. I then had a flash of inspiration and ch...

Posted by: @tv101 Serious skills that you could make some useful cash from when you retire/move. @tv101 Yeah I will be taking on some new projects for sure. I’m looking forward to starting a new Sco...

@tv101 The following Tuesday is ok with me.

@koendb that's looking really nice. Getting closer to closing the box in. 🙂

Posted by: @boo Ps. I’ve got my haggis and whisky ready for Burns night. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃 (there is no haggis emoji) Having prevented them fro...

Posted by: @robin @rocknroller912 My town has a whisky distillery also opened a few years ago and it does tours. My days of trying to drink a whole distillery are long behind me. Just a half dist...

@koendb They look fantastic. Well done

Good to see so many of us virtual friends on Thursday 🙂 @rocknroller912 @koendb @jamesbisset @steeveedee This coming Tuesday might be a bit soon, so how about the following Tuesday @8pm (UK time) agai...

Posted by: @russ They're very elusive creatures @boo. The best way to catch them is to lay at trap with sea salt on the night of a Full Moon. 🤔🪤 @russ Thanks Russ, I’ll bear that in...

Although I can’t add anything, I’m loving this conversation, very interesting stuff. I’m so happy with the thought that people put into these forums, always thinking of others and how things will cont...

They say that, since they are thicker, there is less energy lost and the guitar should vibrate more. As an engineer I'm inclined to agree with this. I see the sides as a structure to support the soun...

Never built a pickup before, but here's my first one. 4 poles, 2 Alnico 5 magnets that were meant for a Firebird pickup, arranged the same way a regular P90 pickup would be arranged. 10,000 turns 42A...

Neck and fretboard are unified. Truss rod is fitted, tuner holes are drilled and screw holes are pre-drilled. Next up is finish profiling the sides of the neck (they're approximately 1mm oversize to ...

@darrenking Degree subject for sure

@koendb No worries you have a very smooth looking set of sides and I think it’s going to be a great guitar. I might not make the video on Tuesday as I’m being pressed to do a booking for Burns Night a...

@bpower My understanding is that thicker wood dampens sound vibrations, however I’m not sure how this affects the sides. I think that you are correct in saying the thickness is for bending. I’m leani...

Posted by: @bpower someone like @darrenking may be able to correct me I am really not in a position to ‘correct’ anyone and I think we’ll all find that the longer we stick around, the fewer examples...

@rocknroller912 I kinda wonder if it would be the other way around. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching others making their laminated sides and I've seen a few that, when they are done lamin...

@koendb Its a hard learning curve by yourself. I went through it many years ago and have never actually done a guitar making course, only violins. You can show us on the video call next Tuesday if you...
