Hi all, new to the forum - just dipping my toes into guitar work. Question - my Ibanez rga42fm has a 15.75" radius fretboard - fret insert cauls only seem to come in mostly 'even' sizes, especially wh...

I'll probably start with a 'leckie' then hopefully progress to a strummy box thingy. @irishwhiskeycoke Good to see you a getting a good grasp of the terminology Chris. 🤣 👍

Thanks Mattbeels I'll sleep easy now 😉 "Too Old to Rock n Roll...Too Young to Die" as the poet Anderson once said No bandsaw as yet still plucking up courage to jump in the deep end with arm ...

I know that I have had an absolute blast making the two acoustic guitars I have completed. I'm on the other fence saying maybe someday I'll make an electric guitar.... maybe. I can see me making a bas...

wow man that looks absolutely stunning! Great job from the paint master! 👍 🤩 @koendb Thanks very much, I do like to paint things up nice. ✨✨✨✨🎸&#x...

The white pu covers definitely fit, too bad J bass knobs aren’t available in white but I know a guy who can paint them… Cheers @mattbeels I was thinking I might paint the knobs too. Next time I’m pai...

Just for you @russ I’ve just put the strings on, added the bells and whistles, and I’ve just had a quick jam. It needs a setup now but it’s a great bass guitar now. Attachment : F5C11504-D5E9-429...

Well @boo that came out looking great! The white pu covers definitely fit, too bad J bass knobs aren’t available in white but I know a guy who can paint them… 😉😂

You never cease to amaze me @boo. Another great job. I like the Wilkinson bridge too. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

Time for my least favourite job, a spot of soldering. Attachment : 2FEC7C94-80AA-45AF-83C5-91BE37F8BB5F.jpeg Attachment : AC93C644-54EA-410A-8429-56A504B4FB60.jpeg

Hey Boo, it’s great to have you putting this little machine through its paces and to see it doing such a sterling job for you! Whoever knew that sewing machine motors could be so useful? Cheers Darren

I'm now doing some work on the neck, I'm rolling the fretboard edges over to make it a bit more comfortable to play. I'm using a razor blade to scrape off the majority and then going over that with so...

I spent a little time on this bass today. I got the Mirka out and then the buffer. It's come up a treat @darrenking 😁👍 Attachment : IMG_20210927_162018.jpg Attachment : IMG_...

I’m only kidding about maybe building an acoustic, I will someday as I think it would be fun. Watching the acoustic course is also pretty inspiring as well. I did actually build one already from a Ste...

Welcome to the forum @irishwhiskeycoke! Sooo, you’re more of a Bootlegger than a Bandsman eh? That’s ok, I won’t hold it against you. 😉 Have you had any luck procuring a bandsaw? Cheers! Matt

I am starting to collect all my material, tools etc.. to prepare for my first acoustic build. @koendb Good for you sir. Every so often, one more of you makes the jump and commits to building an acou...

Wow, look at you go @koendb! Best of luck but, you’ve got this. Incidentally I’m currently watching the acoustic course as well, just for fun though. Maybe I’ll build one someday, maybe… How far along...
