@jonhodgson Every day is a schoolday as they say and never truer than when making a guitar!!😂 Enjoy the rest of your build.👍😊🎸

@nsj Thanks, I thought it was probably either not an issue or recoverable, but needed a bit of assurance before I started removing more wood. As for the hairline glues lines at the fingerboard edge I'...

@andyorton2gmail-com It's a fine router, smooth etc. I mainly use it for the truss rod channel. I find the palm routers much easier to handle for everything else. Stick a bigger base on them to mak...

@nsj I'll check that one out, thankyou. Greatly appreciate you coming back to me to share your experience. Bit of a mind field out there especially you tube reviews

@andyorton2gmail-com Hi Andrew, In the UK the Bosch GKF600 is the same as the Colt. It is a great wee router but there are cheaper alternatives out there. One of the advantages of this router and the...

@brie Here's a couple, basically mounted like a regular 2 point trem, then I added a recess and then cut the back end away so there was no restriction. Nice brass block to finish off the look. A...

@nsj Again I enjoyed watching this one Neil. I wish I had the ability to just go for it that you have. 🙂🎸🙏🎵

Well done @cooperman and of course we'd like to see the first one you did please. 👍😊🎸

Cheers All - welcome Andy!...FYI guys - we can do custom scale lengths like 24" no problem - just order the nearest one then leave a note in the box at checkout or email us with your req...

Hi Andy, you can try whatever scale you like but just remember to read the trem routing cavity instructions properly to get the posts in the correct place. Also worth finding out if there's a sweet sp...

Guys , greatly appreciate your input, this helps me out a great deal, thanyou so much

Hi Andy and welcome to the Forums, sounds like you're keen to get started with your first build. Great advice always available here and Mark's videos are second to none. Another consideration, should ...

@liebe awesome thankyou, I quite like shorter more compact feel guitars, I'm guessing the lighter and slightly shorter length guitars are appealing more to me now, been toying with 24.75 gibson scale ...

@andyorton2gmail-com Welcome to the playground Andrew. Hope you have Fun. There are people out there that would sell you a 24" premade fretboard. If you are planning to make one yourself you can mark ...

@liebe thankyou for the warm welcome I'm watching marks video on using an existing neck to measure out the scale length, if I was to create a 25 inch scale, can I use a neck from a standard strat sca...

It'll be fine, if it still rattles after set up just drill out a marker near the middle, take all tension off the rod and glue in a dowel clamping till the glue dries. Then fit a new marker. I used t...

Friend asked me to build him a guitar, he sent the wood. Pale moon ebony and mahogany. Originally a prs, then a superstrat and finally he sent me a pic and said this please lol. Anyway stranberg boden...

Sorry forgot to mention, I'm based in Wolverhampton. Tele build with 24 inch scale inspired by shorter scale similar to suregold

Hi everyone Wow, wish I'd signed up sooner. Some awesome builds I've seen and hope I'll be one to present here eventually, lol. Having been on a course elsewhere, as fun as it was I'd wish I'd arri...

Nice work @cooperman. 🎸🙂🙏🎵
