I have done it both ways. It’s certainly easier to paint the neck and body apart, before gluing them together. However, you must mask off the neck heal very accurately and the same with the neck pocke...

I say old bean, get yourself a dremmel, there's a good chap what what 🤣

There are probably better tools for this job but if you haven't got them and you are in a bind, then try this. I used a Forstner drill bit to create a recess for some neck ferrules. They were slightly...

@somethingnicer Here's what I did on my latest les paul type build. Attachment : SquarePic_20240613_16251884.jpg You can also slice off the lower half of the heel and glue a longer piece on, ...

The back is on, the neck is in, the finish applied, the bridge fitted. Now it’s time to tackle the wiring. Attachment : IMG_0366.jpeg To make sure I didn’t make any wires too short, or too long...

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

Hello all, I wonder if anyone could answer this question please. Is it possible to use a Floyd Rose trem on a shorter scale electric guitar such as a 25” or 24.75”? I used to play with a guitar wi...

@jamesbisset I do like the look of them James and some of the others that he makes. I'll have to take a deeper look into this. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Thanks to @russ and @nsj. The Waterslide Guitars Instagram feed reveals that the pickups are Mojo pickups, handmade in the UK. and yes, they’re magnetic. Must admit, now that I’ve found them, I’m qui...

Hi Emmanuel, sorry to hear that you’re having problems with your fretboard. Not quite clear on how the fretboard is warping, i.e. in which direction and if it is only the fretboard or the whole fretbo...

I completed the abseil yesterday, the most difficult part was the getting up there with my dodgy lungs, luckily it was busy and we had to stop a couple of time, so got a chance to get my breath back. ...

This isn't guitar related, but as a few of you are living in remote areas of Scotland, you might be interested. I'm going to be abseiling from the Forth Rail Bridge on Sunday to raise some funds for S...

@liebe Thanks

Hello folks, Just wondering if there are any builders here living in the South West of England - specifically Cornwall or Devon? Might be useful to meet up and share ideas, experiences, tools etc? Let...

Hi James, I’m afraid I’m rather far away to be of help to you, North East Scotland is about as far away from South Wast England as you can get!!🤣🤣 I hear what you’re saying though and ...

@tv101 just cut teeth in a piece of the tubing and use it to cut all the marker holes. It's on my todo list, my HUGE todo list lol

The alu tube & ebony dust looks way better - much cleverer. I keep thinking that I should try cutting out just the wall of the tube and keep the middle intact. A small bit in the CNC should be ab...
