No brother , this year i did not order Stewmac this year, but one of my friend is talikig about the purchase it ~ Ali Sami Farooq

Yes I just received an order yesterday. It took about 21/2 weeks to arrive but there was no vat or import duty to pay. Goods value was about $130. I think I got away with it this time! Usually 20% vat...

Just incase anyone is interested...... 🙂🎸🎶🙏

Thanks for the ideas guys, as it happened I stumbled across a bottle of deep penetrating oil today which I’m going to test out over my dyed scrap. I think it’ll give a similar result to those posted. ...

Hi Tej, Autocorrection kicked in, it is Hardwax oil. A mixture of oil and wax, normally used on floors. After staining I used another oil to get the intense yellow off a bit and also enhance the grai...

@bart-van-der-kemp Thanks, the finish looks good, not familiar with “hardware oil” have you got a link to the product please? Also did the oil alter the colour from when you stained it at all?

Hi Tej, I have used Osmo Hardwax Polyx oil for my last build. I stained an alder body yellow and then put 5 thin layers hardware oil over it. After applying a thin layer I waited about 12 hours for th...

@rockpile99 Glad it worked out ok, sorry should also have mentioned that it’s not at all quick, your results look pretty similar mind. I had a small chip to sort too and had to craft a new surround fo...

I was bored so I decided to give @Tej's suggestion a try. It took well over an hour and the fretboard will need a little more glue & dust in places but I've ended up with a usable fretboard (altho...

For what it’s worth I’ve removed the fretboard from an Encore strat copy I was donated. The truss rod adjuster was destroyed and there was some damage around the adjuster access along with a small chi...

After removing the fretboard it’s bound to go all wonky so if you were to reuse it you’d have to re-level the board and then refret it, ugh... Remove it if you like for the experience but maybe Mark’s...

Thanks TV1 🙂 The fretboard still has plenty of meat on it, so trying removal might be worth a shot. Hadn't leveled yet so no time lost there thankfully. Will save it for a rainy/bored day mini project...

I know the neck is now firewood but does anyone have any tips to get he fretboard off without distroying it? I did do that once - really just as an experiment to find out whether I could or not. You...

I'll try and tune in to the Live tomorrow (missed the last few weeks because work has been so busy). Here are a couple more pictures Attachment : IMG_20210126_210820.jpg Had this been my previ...

Welcome back Deej. Just want to say, thanks for all your advice, suggestions and insights. Truly helped me out tons, along with TV101 as well. You folks made it all possible for me when I was just sta...

Just catching up @clinton great vid and build ....love the blue stain.

This has given me an idea. The plans for a 335 course are cool, but 335s are a bit big, and a bit.. Gibson. How about a 335 meets Bandsman design @markbailey?

@clinton Great job dude. I really liked the video and all the custom things that you did like the wooden cavity cover and semi hollow design! 🤘🤘🤘 (cuz we have three hands
