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

@darrenking I think the split 3mm from joint line was a weakness, but once I'd cut that out and rejoined it, the board was sound. The split that I've repaired since then was caused by my own clumsine...

It would probably have to be some old Grateful Dead T-shirt from the '60's @robin. 🤣 🎸🙂🎶🙏

And done, seperate bridge and neck volume with master tone, coil split and a para series on the bridge pickup. All gotoh hardware, warman pickups Attachment : 20240109_130301.jpg Attachmen...

Good afternoon and happy new year to you all! After a protracted break from guitar making I have decided that I really do need to produce an electric bass to further my ambition of seeing an entire ba...

You could always cut layers of 1.5mm ply or 2mm MDF and laminate them together using laser cut dowel holes for alignment. Darren

I shaped the soundboard seam diamonds today and glued them in. I also put them along the repaired crack in the soundboard, it might affect the sound qualities, but I doubt if I'll notice it. Attach...

I got me a diode laser engraver recently. I was hoping it would be powerful enough to cut out routing patterns/guides as well as engrave, but I have not been successful in cutting thick enough materia...

@liebe Hi Dan, you're approach of making routing jigs for the mortice, tenon and for the angle is definitely the way to go. Having said that, I'm getting close to doing the tenon on the acoustic neck...

@liebe Its been a couple years since I made this, I did have all posted on Robin's build #003, but unfortunately I managed to delete it somehow. I reposted it but that particular part of the build is...

@liebe Is this the type of neck joint you're talking about? Attachment : 20211108_173617.jpg Attachment : 20211103_175452.jpg

I've trimmed the back braces to length and notched the kerf lining and got the back fitting fairly good. I've dry clamped it with the 6 metres of rubber band that I've cut from an old inner tube, it's...

The back kerf lining is on now. Merry xmas to you all. Attachment : 20231224_175645.jpg
