@somethingnicer Excellent work Chris. Fantastic first build. Nice little headstock inlay and I do like the all black look. Onwards and Upwards. 🎸🙂🙏🎶

nice build

Excellent work, Cheers! Looks great! I'm a big fan of p90s too. I'm looking forward to see you next build!

Attachment : C1ED0671-316D-4599-99D2-D632DD22A51D.jpeg Today I finished my first build from scratch. I took a long time because I wanted to do this the right way, with the right tools and techniq...

Coming along nicely @koendb. Keep them coming. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

Excellent @koendb. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

And this is why I feel justified in calling my guitar the Bisset Bodge! Awesome work, Koen!

@koendb That is impressive work, I can imagine how frustrating it must be getting all those curved edges to match up.

@koendb This is wonderful, I’m in awe of your work. Keep going, I can’t wait to see how you progress further with this.

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Nice work James. I fancy having a wee go at a uke one day. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Absolutely gorgeous - great plan! You'll probably find guitars much easier now after that - I did anyway. I found ukes to be a lesson in humility myself as they are much smaller and very much fiddlier...

Forgot to add a pic of the old broken neck Attachment : IMG_6367.jpeg

Latest project finished yesterday, metal body banjo with a completely broken neck. The only thing holding it together was the FB. Made a new neck and added rosewood binding to make it wider due to the...

Today I smoothed out the back and front and did the neck heel transition area. Attachment : 20231029_154154.jpg

Got the top glued on then today I rough cut out the shape, still a bit of refining to do though then it's onto routing and carving Attachment : 20231028_144123.jpg Attachment : 20231027_1...

Got the frets levelled, crowned and polished today then glued on the wings. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the top glued on at some point. This was one of my best fret jobs, hardly any levelling needed ...
