Beautiful piece of wood there, and the finishing certainly does it justice. And great to see an "F-hole" that doesn't look like it's come from an seventeenth century violin 😉 (I much prefer...

Yes, a traditional f-hole would probably look strange with that bodyshape.

On my latest build I suddenly decided to add a veneer to the headstock, quite late in the process. I think I already had shaped the neck, so I had to lower the already routed top surface of the headst...

🤣😂

Or the next Hendrix, Blackmore or Clapton could abandon guitar playing before they properly got started because they didn't like this homemade old guitar they were given ... 😆 😆

It’s a valid thought @russ and one I had had myself - ie giving them away to an organisation like that. But, I’d then spend another £300+ on replacement parts for the next build rather than recyclin...

Very true @tv101......but you could see the next "Hendrix" , "Blackmore" , "Clapton" playing one of your guitars. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Hi @tv101 Another way to recycle them is to give them to someone that could use them rather than demolishing them.😱 There's an organisation in Glasgow that gives free lessons and instruments ...

I have reached the point where I have enough guitars. I know, I know, guitarists should never admit to having "enough" guitars, but I've said it now! I could even make a case for having too many - ss...

@koendb thanks, I think I'm probably going to try eBay 1st then if you've done ok with it... Don't want to waste loads of money buying really expensive wood till I'm sure I can actually build necks wi...

Welcome @dave The folks that @tv101 recommends are the usual goto places and of course here at Mark's shop. You can sometimes stumble across someone local to yourself who might have some good pieces t...

Hi @dave welcome to the group. Of the three necks I've made, the first was a plank of mahogany from a friends workshop, the second was maple from @markbailey and the third was laminated from the left...

@dave - apologies, I should also have said “welcome to the forum”! And show us what you’ve been building, we all like to see pics of others’ builds!

There a some decent sellers on eBay, though their prices aren’t always massively cheaper than the non-eBay specialists (David Dyke / Timberline). I’ve bought from feelgoodwood in the past; timber &...

Hello to all you guitar builders. I'm Dave from Sheffield been building guitars for the last 6 yrs. about to step up my game and have a go at building my 1st neck from scratch.. any advice on where to...

@igeorgebot It's definitely proper etiquette to post as many videos as you like 👍😁........ either building or playing. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

@russ Thanks very much! Very kind! Out of curiosity, is it OK to post a short video on how the guitar plays? Not sure what is proper etiquette here on the forum. 😬🤣😎🎸...

Looking good @igeorgebot.......and the guitars are not bad either. Nice work. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@tv101 Hello,and thank you. I built them both together. I figured if one went wrong I could keep on going with the other. 🤣 I like the feel of Coco Bolo over the Zebrano fretboard. The Zeb...

Congratulations @igeorgebot! That shape looks vaguely familiar ... 😉 How are they to play - any differences other than the pickups? Did you build both in parallel, or did one follow the othe...
