Nice work @boo, it’s good to see the bumblebee again!

that looks really good,.. clean work! @koendb Thank you, I like to keep things as precise as possible, accuracy is something I aspire to.

@riccardo I know I have bought the tusq nut I used from stewmac. Probably a better place to get them but that's what I decided to go with. Have you purchased everything else you need for the guitar b...

Thanks for all the support guys, I really appreciate it. So I'm now about to start my drawing and getting a few things together. Mark says to get a nut as follows 'Nut: 3/16” Tusq slotted'. I have ...

Welcome @Riccardo. I am also a first timer and have already learnt so much from Mark's videos and from everyone here in the forum. Don't be shy to ask questions as everyone is amazing and will help wh...
