Neck looks beautiful BTW! 😲 👍

@markbailey This is the dent (bottom left) I was talking about. I’ll opt for the drop off water first and see if that helps before trying anything more severe! Attachment : BE026BE3-48B5-4C35-B542...

…not abalone, mother of Pearl! Oh for an edit function that works!?!?!?! I’ve MOP for the side dots too but they’re very thin so need to make sure they’re only very marginally proud when glued in so I...

Coming along nicely @tej. 👍😁 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@koendb thank you 🙏

In my experience with woodworking, the "v" that you file in the fret slot is there to make it so there are no "unsupported" grain if you need to remove the fret. The fact that the fret ends are pushed...

@koendb @tej @russ Thanks for your kind wishes and thoughts, I'm sure Gina is going to fine after her treatment. Yes the grain filler is to try and get as smooth a surface as I can before lacquering...

Hi Everyone! I did some experiments during the lockdown and built up a lap stell from some scrap wood I had in my cellar. Started to be only for fun, but I kinda like what came out! I was looking onl...

Thanks for your feedback @koendb and @tej much appreciated. 👍

@boo I prefer the all black hardware for this, it looks more intentional and the contrast with the bright pink works well to my eye. I can’t really explain why but the white looks like you’d have boug...

This guitar is a project I’m doing with two other friends and guitar builders and we already have a colour combination for the guitar but I just wanted to try out a couple of different ones and get so...

I showed the pictures to my wife. She likes the black hardware... but says it reminds her of Gem and the Holograms. 🙂 I also like the black hardware. @bpower Thanks to you and your wife for t...
