@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Thanks for the kind words! When i am done with this project, i will consider building guitars on a regular basis as a hobby, i am really interested in the craftmanship! I ...

@darrenking Thanks darren for the comment! I will do my best to build the best guitar i can, within limits of course. I will let you and the memebers know if something goes wrong. Thanks for the kind ...

Hi Louis, You have taken on a very ambitious project but I am sure that you will make it a great success. When writing up your work never be afraid to admit mistakes. There are many points to be won f...

Louis Best wishes with your build and thesis. I'm sure you will do well with all the advice on offer. I think you asked a question about quoting sources on a recent live stream. You should always ackn...

Go, go, go Louis! 👍

Cool idea Louis and I am envious that you have adopted the art of guitar building at such a young age. It is something I would have done at your age if we had the internet back then but we didn’t, it ...

Looking forward to this thread Louis! I agree with Russ - this could be the start of something wonderful for you 😃

Posted by: @ Groovy Louis. I've heard about you from Mark on the Live Stream. I wish I had started at your age. Keep it up. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Hi All, I am new here and never built a electric guitar before. I am building a guitar for my thesis for school and Mark helped me a lot along the way! Today i cut out of the shape of my guitarbody (i...

@louis-kerckhove Fantastic Louis, well done. I think it’s great, such an original shape, you should get top marks for that mate. 🤘😁🤘🎸

Hah, a little suspense is a good thing @koendb. The first two have different nut widths, 43 and 45mm. I was talking about the third one, it has something else going on... @mattbeels Looks like it has...

Looking good @koendb! How did you keep the cauls from slipping around on the body while gluing up? The way I've seen other people do that ... They glue the body pieces together *before* the final cut...

Slow progress with life getting in the way of late. Neck now profiled with the router and I’ve put the back veneer on. The front one needs to wait until I’ve levelled everything for the fretboard. I w...

For anyone who’s interested there is a lesson in the Acoustic course on laminating headstocks. Just watched that 2-3 weeks ago @tej. All good stuff. 👍😁 🙏🎶🎸&#...

Mark's knowledge is invaluable to us. Couldn’t agree more @russ. For anyone who’s interested there is a lesson in the Acoustic course on laminating headstocks.

@mattbeels pretty much but I’ll sand the veneer to roughly match the rough headstock profile. Suggestion from Mark is to drill an 8mm hole and ream it out to 10mm to remove chance of breakout. Don’t h...

So what’s your plan for this repair @tej? Glue on one veneer then drill out the four tuner holes and then repeat?

@russ so I mentioned to Mark about this and I need keep the headstock “core” over 13mm which makes sense, I think I might just surface route .5 to .8 mm off each side and then route the veneer down so...

Hi @tej. If you haven't already glued it down, you could rout another 1mm off the headstock. If you have then be very careful not to rip it off with the router. Maybe you could just sand it down. &#x...
