@rocknroller912 I’ve been trying to find some 2mm bright yellow plastic (or similar) rods so I can make some fret marker dots for the side of this neck. I’ve not been able to find anything that thin s...

The yellow dots look good @rocknroller912 Yeah, it was something different specified by the customer. I had to use non standard materials to get something so yellow and I have to use something comple...

@boo The yellow dots look good

@electricstringtheorygmail-com Thanks for the positive response. I would suggest measuring the distance of the top, middle and bottom bouts from the centre line, so that although it’s not a symmetrica...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and support. it is intended for me to keep, so I do have the freedom to veer off piste a little. I will try to come up with some options and post the progress on ...

@electricstringtheorygmail-com Welcome to the forum. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a small body and a standard neck but I would agree that the proportions are not exact. Perhaps you could...

@powerful I'll be watching with interest how you get on with the kit. I'm planning on building an acoustic sometime, just working my way up to it.

@electricstringtheorygmail.com First of all welcome the group. I think you've had the best advice from Mark already if you want to keep a natural finish, I wouldn't want to hide that beautiful wood ei...

Thanks for the reply Mark, and the link to the course - will def check that out, as I still have a lot left to do. Unfortunately I think you are right on the ‘can’t put it back on again’ category - I...

Ouch. 😮 Ideas anyone? I suspect this probably goes in the 'you can take it off but you can't put it back on again' category... This is why I always highly recommend following along with the co...

So I am part way through my first build. I have completed the neck and designed and rough shaped the body, but having put the two together for the first time, I have realised the body shape is now out...

@Boo That’s the one.

@clinton You’ve gone and done it now haven’t you? 🤣 You continue to inspire me. I’m actually in the middle of building a box guitar, I’ve no idea what I’m doing really but it’s fun. Attach...

Cheers @clinton. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Sorry @clinton. Still only getting the audio. 😕 🎶🙂🎸🙏
