Right, everything is built and I’m onto the setup, the truss rod didn’t cause any scary creaking, not did it puncture through the back of the neck so my fix for my initial router mishap on day one has...

@robin Thanks for the heads up, I checked everything over after installing the electronics and couldn’t see anything like that. I’ll check with the jack plug in though as I didn’t think to check that.

Used some shielding paint from Crimson which went on a treat. @tej I used that on the build I've just completed, its nice stuff. @rocknroller912Thanks. Of course it will play well, what could poss...

@rocknroller912 Thanks, it’s tricky, obviously my aim was perfection so these small things do niggle me but as I think boo pointed out, if I don’t mention them most people just wouldn’t notice these t...

@tej It looks super. When you listed all the “mistakes” in various posts I was expecting a disaster.

@markbailey 6 months ago I signed up for your build your own electric guitar course, drew some pictures, ordered some blanks and a fretboard from you, got a load of parts, changed my mind, changed the...

@koendb I think I did check them when I got them but I can’t find a note of the rest so I’ll check that for sure. @robin if the resistance is fine I’ll do that however I read a few articles where peop...

@wolframmalukker Welcome to the group, it sounds like you have the ideal setup for making guitars, I'm on a knife edge waiting to see what you produce.

Welcome @wolframmalukker. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Good to have a metal work guy around. I'm sure you'll have a few good tips for us all. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Hello, folks. New builder from the USA, about an hour's drive north of the Gibson factory. This is the first forum I've found that actually approves registrations in less than a week (so far...) I am ...

I don't have a problem with the use of CNC, I don't think its taking skills away, its introducing a different set of skills in 3D modelling and programming. Its not for me though, I spent a lot of my ...

@tej Dont leave it anywhere it can fall over

@rocknroller912 Sage advice 🙂 I’m just hoping everything lines up properly when I get a couple of strings on it as there’s not quite as much lateral movement in the pickups as I though there w...

@tej Wise move, good work can’t be rushed.

Nice work @wayne_f and @poco7!

It depends on your skillsets and overall interests For me Im a gadget geek working in IT incl programming for past 25years so the CNC thing, although I know very little, appeals to that ‘geekiness’ iv...

@rocknroller912 Thanks. Of course it will play well, what could possibly go wrong now!

@tej It looks good in the photos I hope it plays well

Construction time 😀 Used some shielding paint from Crimson which went on a treat. Tuning pegs mounted, everything wired up and mounted. Just need to align the pickups and get it set up now &#x...

@poco7 Well it looks like you are having fun and that pleases me. Just remember to take you time and enjoy it. It’s not a race and you will have a greater understanding of what you are doing if you re...
