Hi all! I hope everyone is well 🙂 Flippin’ eck! Ok, I know I’m trying a few new things out on this one (bound fretboard, bolt on neck, Floyd Rose), but you’re supposed to try new things to learn, righ...

Wish I could be there myself. My arms aren’t up to the flight anymore though. 😂

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are doing good. I am Julio Herrera a freelance developer from Italy. I am new to this guitarmaking community, I love to play guitar and create guitars I am on my learnin...

@swepri I find getting the drills to go exactly where you want them can be a bit of a fight lol. Small bits with the hand drill aren't so bad, you just tilt the drill to move things about when doing t...

Yeah, and a tear-out when routing the neck pickup cavity. But it will be hidden when the pickup is mounted, so I didn't try to patch it up.

Well, I'm in no hurry when building and is not very good at documenting the build process. But now the finish line is a bit closer. Applied several coats of Danish Oil and waiting a few days more for ...

@swepri it's a bit nervy but I just followed Marks vid and it came out great! Gave me a right buzz! I've got a stack of ebony boards, takes a right bloody whack to get the frets seated sometimes lol

@nsj It will be my first carve, so I hope it will be fairly easy. I'm going to do the neck first, while the walnut is acclimating in the garage. Working on the ebony fretboard at the moment.

Ooh nice, when watching Mark doing the carve he only marked about a 1/4 inch, 6mm or so so don't need it to thick. I'd imagine walnut would be nice to carve too. Also I can say that it's very satisfyi...

Starting my third build, finally. It will be loosely based on the Bandsman, but with tune-o-matic and four pots. I have a nice piece of walnut for the top and hope I will not screw it up when resawin...

Little bit more work today, did the slot for the pickup wiring so when I rout out the pickup cavities the channel will appear. I cut a lot of excess off the neck to make it easier to deal with. And I ...

Did some of the cutting out of the inner horns and planed the fretboard sides to make room for binding, so far so good. Attachment : 20230612_170603.jpg Attachment : 20230612_170725.jpg

Cheers @nsj. Good to know. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

Well today I finally made a start, worked everything out then got the truss rod slot sorted, fretboard pinned and headstock angle. Need to wait on binding, then shave the fretboard down and attach the...

@russ all stable, only ever had one where the neck warped and that was a very expensive piece of birds eye maple! Yet if I've used old floorboards etc they're stil as good as the day I made them lol

Looking forward to this one @nsj. You've been very productive over the past few months Neil. Can I ask if you've had any changes in the guitars structure since you built them or have they all remaine...

Going to do a solid neck through black limba build for ggbo community. Going with a gibby scale, floyd rose, cream binding with zebra pickups. Carvetop again but possibly a bit deeper like a prs this ...

INTRODUCING THE LATEST MODEL FROM GLASSCOCK GUITARS!!!! Here’s the latest original guitar design from the Glasscock Guitars design studio. Meet Jester! Jester is a slim waisted double cut solid body ...

Neck ready for fretboard. I’ll be using that ebony fretboard in the picture in my previous post in this thread. I’m doing a 14” radius on this one. My first was 16” radius, #2 was 12” radius. I want t...

@rathius I sat a 12 radius block on a 16 radius board, the gap was les than 0.2mm! Took me by surprise, there's so little in it. I do 12, 14 and 16 though, basically whatever the bridge is. I like to ...
