@liebe Thanks Dan, having a rest for a while, at least until the weather is a bit warmer, then get going on the next one👍😃🎸

The frets are installed now and all sanded and masked ready for finishing. First coat of sanding sealer on and decals put on the headstock. Attachment : 20240204_142035.jpg Attachment : 202...

Thats the back binding done and a wee maple cap on the neck heel. Attachment : 20240203_171757.jpg

What are you doing on here? Get back in the shed and start number 2! 🤣 Guitar looks good, weights fine. Anything lighter than a les paul is fine lol I started at the beginning of the whol...

Great job Brian 👍 - Thanks for sharing the pics...and for your kind words...makes it all worthwhile!

@markbailey Thanks for your kind words Mark, I would have been very reluctant to start on such an endeavour without your fantastic videos and the end result would not have been of the same quality. I ...

I cleaned up, planed, scraped and sanded the soundboard binding, and I have to say that I'm delighted with the results. To be on the safe side, I had made my binding strips a bit to thick and had a a...

Hi Everyone, Must say I’m as proud as punch today having finished my first attempt at building an electric guitar from scratch. Thanks to Mark’s fantastic course, I’m now the proud owner of a guitar t...

@brie Well done Brian, thats looking good, and yes it is addictive. Be careful with that acoustic course, I started off just drawing one, I never dreamt that I'd actually build it.

The soundboard board is routed now and maple binding glued in. Definitely out of my comfort zone doing that. We'll see what tomorrow brings when I take the tape off and clean it up, maybe I'll do the ...

Although I happy with the good close glue join that I've got between the sides and soundboard/back, it just doesn't look finished without binding. Having said that, I'm reluctant to set about it with ...

Fretboard levelled and dots added now. I went to get my dots out of my bag of bits for this build, and realised that I hadn't bought any. So I cut some 6mm plugs from a piece of maple an used that. Al...

Try emailing carol@baileyguitars.co.uk and I'm sure that she'll get back to you.

Thats the neck/body joint done, fretboard glued, the neck carved and dry fitted. Doesn't sound much when you say it quickly, but its certainly a challenge getting the neck/body joint without gaps, on...

I've made my bridge now, that's a fun wee project in its own. Took me about 6 hours to do what @markbailey does in his 35 minute video, but just follow the instructions and it happens. Photos of its v...

Glued the back on yesterday, I thought my 6 metre rubber strip was too short but Mark said it should be enough, and of course he was right, I just needed to stretch it further. I trimmed and sanded th...

And update - there's alot since the last update. Firstly I've installed some temporary electrics and pickups etc to test it out. Sounds good - there's some fret work and some other bits but it's play...

I guess it also allows for a greater distance between the pick ups and I think with a longer neck it would make sense to go for a heavier body material just to maintain balance. I may go to 33.25" or ...

Now THAT is commitment! 🤣 🤣 Attachment : IMG_6695.JPG
