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 Of course it is about you! Why would you think I care about the weight of your guitar? 🤣 The reason I asked is because I always thought that plywood was heavier then solid wood and I was...

Nice work @Boo 🙂 How is the weight?

Ah I did buy these quick release thingies for my little compressor, it is super handy, I dont understand why they dont add these as a standard 🙂

Nice work @tyreman! That is going to be an awesome build 🙂

@marcel That neck is beautiful, did you laminate it yourself ? or where did you get it from?I am considering making the laminated necks myself I am already looking for some wood at Masave, but I have ...
