(clears throat) Part1: Introduction The "Duck Room" is a place of internet legend. Long thought, by those who had heard only tales passed down through the Bliss generations, to be an imaginary place...

@jamesbisset Pay attention to Mr Bailey and don’t show off to friends

This wouldn't be important if I was making a double cutaway or no cutaway - it’s only significant if the guitar is not symmetrical across the centreline. But if I’m making a concave mould, then the m...

Today I was able to sand back and get a look at how things were going, so far pretty good. Had to add a tiny bit more resin in a couple of spots but it's getting there. Attachment : 20230501_15372...

Ok I'm at a bit at a standstill while this stuff cures. Fret markers are the aluminium tubing again but filled with the epoxy, can't wait til it's cure and I can sand everything flush. Attachment :...

Not done much today but got the headstock sorted and the locking nut fitted. Attachment : 20230424_171124-01.jpeg

@chrishamilton Welcome! The book Russ recommends is very good, covering most of the stuff needed to wire a guitar or troubleshoot it.

Thanks @russ I haven't seen that book yet but I'll check it out. I only rediscovered the guitar the other day, then after a restring and plugging it into an amp on Sunday discovered the shambles of t...

@chrishamilton. Welcome Chris. I'm sure you'll get some great advice from a few of the folks here. I'm busy trying to get up to speed on the guitar electronics just now. I can highly recommend getting...

Attachment : TV 01.JPG *update* it is 16 years old - 2007 vintage ! This beauty was the result of @tv101 's first visit to the Bailey Workshop ... seems like yesterday (and a hundred years ago)...

@tv101 Happy birthday and that’s a nice looking guitar by the way. Hope to see you on the video chat tomorrow night.

@markbailey That was one of my big life-changing experiences, for which I will forever be grateful to you, for your confidence that - really - I could and would build a guitar, you patience, your incr...

Should be there tomorrow Bill @rocknroller912 (was away last week).

@tv101 We are all fired up for Carol having fibre broadband.
