Nice work on the headstock repair! I've restrung and tuned a sitar before, that is a never ending job!

Forgot to say that I hammered in a few frets before I glued on the bridge. Attachment : PXL_20230519_133334567.jpg And beveled the edges. Attachment : PXL_20230519_144658653.jpg Ἳ...

Then glued it on. Use two 4mm drill bits to locate it in place then clamp it on using the three wee cauls on top and the bridge plate caul inside. Attachment : PXL_20230525_102634606.jpg At...

Once the position of the bridge is marked out I drilled two 4mm holes through the soundboard where the holes for the E strings will go. Attachment : PXL_20230525_084656972.jpg Attachment : ...

Cheers @boo. I did wonder whether I'd ever get there. Still haven't got round to my bandsman yet. This summer has been a bit full on with other stuff. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Then started to carve it in to shape. Attachment : PXL_20230517_142555996.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230517_144534700.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230517_144649317.jpg Attachment : PXL_...

Actually, here are the pictures of the saddle that I made before I set up the location. First I squared up the bridge blank. Attachment : PXL_20220606_122441486.jpg Then I put in the saddle sl...

@russ This is all very impressive work, I’m so pleased to finally see your work. 👍

Next I set the bridge location. Attachment : PXL_20230525_085026857.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230525_084955979.jpg To do this you measure your scale length plus 2mm to the inside of the fro...

Next I checked the string action. I made two small guages to replicate the height that the strings will sit above the fretboard. One to sit at the nut position of 2mm thick and one to sit at the 12th ...

Then I put a 16" radius on it. Same technique as the leveling beam but with a radius block. Attachment : PXL_20230505_141852708.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230505_140727453.jpg 🎸...

Next I went on to leveling the fretboard. Attachment : PXL_20230510_130754494.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230510_125057584.jpg Just covered it in chalk and kept going with the sanding beam un...

@koendb Nice, I think we have some very similar ideas in creativity.

Thanks Russ! It's a Rothko and Frost decal. That and the Headstock veneer were last minute additions. I learnt a lot. Like that decals and tru oil don't play nicely. That's the second decal I used a...

@dhawkes1gmail-com Nice work Dan. Onwards and upwards now. Is the logo an inlay or a decal? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Hi folks, thought I'd share some shots of my first guitar build following Mark's BYO online course. You've probably seen me pop up from time to time with odd questions in a desperate need to find an a...

I don't know what the average weight of a Tele body is but there is quite a bit of difference between these two. The one made of kitchen worktop and pallet boards is a lot heavier then the the plywoo...

Lovin' the wee tool chest @koendb. 🙂🙏🎶🎸

We've had many a holiday over on the West @robin......on the Kyle and Kintyre, Bute, Arran.....even the summer isle before it was all poshed up.......and around Ardnamurchin. 🙂🙏dz...

Thanks @koendb. I think I could say the same about your approach to your builds. I think you're attention to detail is a bit more advanced than mine....... but hope to get there one day. 🎸&#x...
