Looking for advice on the headstock angle of my next project, which is a 1958 Flying V. I would say clone, but for the headstock angle, I am willing to compromise in favor of practicallity and strengt...

And in this thick Scottish accent said "I canna understand it, his strings are THIS thick <indicates a diameter of about half an inch> they're THIS far off the fret board <indicates a distanc...

@rocknroller912 I would love to do that sometimes.

when he remembered that it's a 22 fret solo and he was playing a 21 fret guitar! For that, they invented bending! 😉 ok ok I ll shut up now with my witty remarks 😎

I wouldn’t call it a correction your point of view is just as valid as mine Oh @rocknroller912, my comment was not meant as a correction to any other opinion either! I think you are 100% correct abou...

You might not think that 0.2mm *diameter* would make that much difference, but it did! I have experienced the same with bridge post holes. I have a 3/8" for , if I recall correctly, Floyd Rose posts...

I was thinking about this only today, is shielding paint necessary/ advised? None of my factory guitars have any shielding, except on the pickguards.None of my partscasters or kit guitars have any s...

@rocknroller912 Indeed, I used a pilar drill only for the initial holes. But I indeed scored the initial contours of the holes manually ( turning the drill head manually, once I got the brad points ex...

The biggest problem are the bushings as there isn’t a standard between manufacturers and getting the right size hole is also annoying as they are always some weirdo 6.24 or whatever and some bushings ...

The Wilkinson Wraparound bridge I used on my latest build is indeed pretty good, Dont know if we are talking about the exact same one, as Wilkinson is more of a licensed thing that is granted to mult...

Looking good @cheesewhisk! 👍

I used little picture hanging nails I use these too.Also a few grains of salt can help minimizing the slipping, that, together with slowly increasing pressure on your clamps, while keep correcting ev...

so I can annoy bats with my solos. LOL

But you should make a habit of copying all your templates So true and I ll be doing just that 😉

a tad on the thin side though, be careful! Besides you should make copies and not use the master but you probably already knew that, right? uuh . yes of course ehm ... 🤣 Yeah they are thin

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the V, I have no idea when I will start on that build yet though

Did you get your template from G&W? @mattbeels Yes indeed!

Sounds like you need a CNC router. I need a bigger wallet and space to put all these things. 🙂 To be honest, I like this tedious method as it is relaxing and I am training my patience and accuracy at...

I installed tuners yesterday evening. Gotoh vintage style staggered to be precise.They look great, but boy are they a pain in the butt to install ! These bushings are 8.30mm and leave little room for...

I love 335 models. 😍 Very nice @clinton!
