And a bit more, tops glued on, edges filed and sanded over and my tele neck pickup ring finally arrived. Also copper on headstock and logo on trussrod cover. Drilled the temp screw holes I used to hol...

As usual it's all on my youtube including the cheek clenching latest episode lol

Dear reader, it was too thick to go through the nozzle. I took the nozzle off and managed to squeeze out a glutinous blob, but I’m not going to risk that on my headstock or inlays.

@jamesbisset. Little tips for looking after your super glue, James. Keep it in the fridge inside a sealed plastic bag upright so all the glue sits in the bottom of the bottle. Before you put it in t...

I don't recall seeing that finishing approach before - what prompted you to try that? It's certainly looking good in the pics. I've never finished a build without a similar opportunity presenting ...

@liebe Thanks Dan. It looks like black superglue is thick. 03a describe theirs as medium thick. I’ve just ordered a 20g bottle from because £6.95. Small Wonder says, “Black Superglue tends to be thi...

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...

After an extended hiatus, I went back to the workshop to glue on the back. Attachment : IMG_0246.jpeg I made a couple of MDF clamping rings to help distribute the pressure and hold everything i...

I'm trying to workout what mishap occurred that needed the "decorative hole" at the top as a fix???

I think my next build is going be a ukulele, my granddaughter has taken an interest. Attachment : 20240504_152717.jpg

We could all send our spare parts up to you to fit? You could make a 4 pickup, 5-string guitar with 1 volume and 3 tone pots and 2 bridges …

Well that's my 2nd bass sorted Attachment : 20240422_145100.jpg Attachment : 20240422_145136.jpg Attachment : 20240422_145156.jpg Attachment : 20240422_145205.jpg Atta...
