@liebe Thanks Dan, the London Plane came from a company called Timberline shop.exotichardwoods.co.uk they call it Lacewood but proper lacewood is totally different. They have it as bookmatched guitar body caps, as used in this build and also as box…   Read more»

@liebe  ,nice build, great finish.

@liebe friend had really old massive slabs of it, sold me one. Also sawed it up for me with his massive machinery so I could get the maximum use.

@liebe many thanks. I am in the cours, drawing, making the jigs and caul ect. Getting the right tools.

@liebe Thanks Dan, I appreciate it. It’s a good job those foam brushes are cheap then? 
Cheers again. 👍

@liebe It’s Chestnut product isn’t it? 
Sorry, I think you’ve mentioned it in this thread before and I’ve had a quick look but I’m dyslexic and I can get lost in a sea of words. 

@liebe Yeah ok, I’ll order some and plan another build soon. 🤘😁🤘

@liebe It’s gone really well for you hasn’t it, they look great. I’m definitely going to try this finishing product out. I’m a spray guy as you know but these results are proving that great finishes can be achieved without…   Read more»

Hi Dan,
I would think that with the glued on neck you’ve got a bit more strength but looking at that picture of the bolt on I’d say that was on the limit if not a wee bit past it.

@liebe I like creating my own designs instead of making copies of all the generic guitars on the market. It’s a lot more fun and keeps things way more interesting. Plus when someone wants you to make a copy of…   Read more»

@liebe hey Dan, thanks a lot. I ended up plugging the hole and just going down to one pickup… this was my original plan to begin with so not worrie. I’ll just cover the pickup hole with a pick guard

@liebe Thanks for the input Dan, I appreciate it. It’s good to know, I’ll look into it further. 👍

@liebe Thanks

@liebe depends on whether it’s glued or bolted, I like bolted pretty snug if possible but glue in needs room for the glue and to tight can cause real issues. Don’t want a lot of side to side slop but…   Read more»

@liebe Radian tools sell a planer bit to use with a router sled, it’s excellent. Just take small bites.   A thickness planer or planer table is a lot more likely to take chips out of figured wood. As for…   Read more»
