@russ these are actually real gut frets, the strings themselves are Nylgut , but the frets need to be real gut. I believe because nylon is too stretchy. It sounds surprisingly loud for such a small in...

Nice work !!

Aaaand it is ready !😊😁 Attachment : IMG_1891.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1895.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1902.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1906.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1907...

Me too I am wondering this. My guess is that , if wood really wants to warp , it will warp around whatever is in the way. I also wonder if you add carbon rods in a guitar with a trussrod, does the car...

Yeah same here, I never heard about this, but that does not mean it does not exist of course. For guitar I always use LOG anyway, so I order LOG pots specifically.

cool! you are now also making cool stuff out of wood , you are becoming a handyman @tv101 🤣 😉

Congratulations for you and your family @robin!

@tyreman Nice! I love how you have the neck through to show through the end section on the top. I might use that idea in one of my future builds.

@clinton I love the color scheme of those bursts! Can you tell a bit more about what you are using ( dyes and finish )?

Awesome @nsj! That neck looks soo good. I generally prefer guitars without pickguard, but looking at these pictures, I realize that, for me, a strat looks weird without one 🤔 The back looks k...

Yesterday , I finished the tuning pegs by cutting them to length and adding the string hole. This is done with a little jig. Basically a block of wood with a tapered hole to accept the pin and a 1.2mm...

It is either working in the shed or go to the pub and drink beer. I dont have friends so I stay in the shed 🤣

@mikeyrjiom Love it! beautiful inlaywork, beautiful wood. Can you tell a bit more about it?

Yesterday I started on my first bass build. Wilkinson pickups, bridge and tuners.Flamed Ash body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Attachment : F1D85202-9B31-401E-888D-EAE6221E1FC2_1_105_c.jpe...

Could be some loose wiring as well, I just had to repair someones LP copy , I switched out the old pots but used the original wiring. He came back to me, a few days later, telling me one of the tone k...

Finally! 😊 I have little experience in quality or characteristics of pickup systems for acoustics so not a big help I am afraid. But I am interested in this too

Yesterday , I continued my build of the renaissance guitar… Shaping the tuning pegs handles , using a little holding jig and an improvised, temporary fence on the spindle sander. With a violin pegshap...

@nsj The curve of the carving around the neck pocket is just beautifully executed! 🤩 😍

Awesome! I wish I can at least come over for a visit someday.

@boo strings that are not played, but instead, resonate by playing the other strings, sympathetic resonance. They provide that shimmery tone in the background. In a tele or strat you might experience...
