Hi Guys I have 2 new videos...I've decided to host them on youtube for ease of use as the file size limit on here is a bit tight... I've made them "invite only" which means they will play when you use...

I'd say do it anyway. Having just completed the build - the results are unspeakably good. And somehow the anticipation of the gap makes it better.

Lovely piece of wood for the back @alanlush. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@cattytown Hey Paul, welcome to the club. If you want something that is not construction timber and maybe not musical instrument tone wood, try S&S Timber in Blackpool. You will find all kinds of...

@cattytown Sounds like you have a higher skill level than most people who start guitar making. I’m sure you will do well. One source might be local joinery firms who used to make wooden windows and d...

@russ - Thanks, there are a few timber merchants about, but most feel like they are aiming more at the building trade rather than nice stuff. I was planning on dropping in at Axfords at some point - t...

Posted by: @poco7 Titebond REGULAR [ 1 ] glue @poco7 Yes, just use Titebond Original for everything. Don’t get too hung up on types of glue, most of it isn’t needed for guitar building. There is rea...

@poco7 Mark uses Titebond original the yellow one. I don’t use it though I prefer water based hot glue for anything that I might want to take off for any reason.

@poco7 to use Titebond REGULAR [ 1 ] glue, or TITEBOND [#2] or Premium [#3] FOR GLUING MY FRETBOARD ONTO THE NECK. I'm fairly sure that @markbailey used Titebond #1 for the fretboard in the online ...
