After recently getting an all new heating system installed I ended up with the old copper tank from the attic and had a crazy thought. What about making a guitar from it? First things first I cut the ...

Excellent. To be fair, that was implied by your titling of this thread ("my first laminated semi-hollowbody" implies that you were planning a second and maybe a third, fourth, fifth and more), so rea...

No mishap. It’s been on the drawings from the beginning. How could I, a simple brute peasant, reference the classic elegance and sophistication of D’Angelico and D’Aquisto? Simples. A wee hole. Almo...

@jamesbisset The edges glued well, with no gaps, but of course the back moved when I wasn’t looking. It’s cosmetic, because without a centreline you wouldn’t know but grrrr... If the misaligned cen...

So after a long winter break I've returned to my little shed to work a little on the bass again. Routed the neck pocket and drilled some holes. Attachment : IMG_9559.jpg Attachment : IMG_95...

@brie I did wonder 😎 ...no I just assumed a mod was away and being a noob I'd need approval. Not to worry been very busy doing the dance between spraying, sanding, respraying..thinking you're...

@fuzzwood Welcome Dan. Sounds like you've got off to a flying start. Keep on keeping on. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@liebe Go for it Dan and let us know how you get on. You can be the guinea pig. 😁 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@robin I have seen luthier Ted Woodford do something like that in a video (which I can't find now, among all his videos). Basically, he drilled a tiny hole where he wanted the strap button to be locat...

Hi all, I'm Dan from Manchester! After a few partscasters I've moved onto some proper builds 🤣 For some daft reason my first build is building three guitars at the same time. 2 music masters ...
