Yesterday ,I installed the frets, fret leveling , crowning and fret end dressing. I will do the polishing afterwards. For now , I just want to get the guitar in a playable shape to get an idea of what...

@jmcmi93888 That looks really good! Keep going 🙂

Guitar build on one side of the bench... acoustic bliss on the other. Perfect music for a perfect hobby. Life O Reilly! Beautiful work right there @bpower!

I picked up an ovangkol top from a friend, planed and sanded it to about 7mm.Then routed out the okoume wings and glued the top on. Attachment : IMG_20210804_134746039_HDR.jpg Attachment : ...

Another couple of well produced wee performances tonight @tv101 & @jamesbisset. Enjoyed them both. Indeed!

@Rocknroller912 active pickups have less coils, which also elimnates hum, but don't have enough current to be amplified like a passive pickup, therefor need some extra help; they have a little pre-amp...

@mario grounding the bridge and covering cavities with shielding copper/aluminium foil or conductive paint is done to avoid hum. It has nothing to do with safety. In theory it will indeed pass the cur...

Busy busy busy.. A couple of days ago, I installed side dots , cut the fretslots to proper depth and glued the fretboard to the neck. Attachment : IMG_20210730_164602113.jpg Routed the body yes...

sorry missed that @frocesterbill No worries, I did not mention this before 😀

if you cut out the wing shapes on your bandsaw keep the bits you cut off to use to clamp on the @frocesterbill I only cut out the innershape of the horns, so I had rectangular shapes to clamp. Only a...

Fretboard markers done, radiussed to 16" radius.Only thing to do is check and saw the slot to depth, install the side dots and glue the fretboard on. Attachment : IMG_20210728_162722581.jpg Glu...

@boo I agree with @tv101

I'm not falling for that one again @Boo. Last time I looked at one of your "age restricted" videos, well ..... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

PS, no-one mention the colour again. Pink! What can I say? I am a rebel

Interesting I’ve never seen a string break at the bridge on any instrument I guess on acoustic instruments it is indeed not a common issue. So yeah I can definitely see where you are coming from.On e...

it is for a little girl after all She will be so happy with this! Nice job @Boo!

True but it is a potent string break point. I think some of the old 50s and 60s designs have a lot of room for improvement @rocknroller912 I dont think string break is the issue, but tuning stabilit...

@darrenking That looks amazing! Well done !
