@rocknroller912 The solder flows lovely on the pots I've used so far and you'd have to file it off to remove it! 🤣 The only thing I can struggle with is the spring claw using a trem, they n...

@markbailey lol it is shit isn't it! Lead free for a problematic life! @cafebrouge if you're on FB there's some not bad groups, UK Amateur Guitar Builder and Luthiers Club are a couple. For the...

@cafebrouge What problems are you having with soldering? - maybe we can help make it FUN! top tip: Keep your tip clean and shiny and tip top. top tip 2: Use quality '60/40 solder' not the usual modern...

@liebe really impressive, Dan! Thanks for reaching out. Love that pickguard - was that your design? I like the Tono Caballo ones so might stick with for the Caballo Tono Ligero HH thinline I'm going ...

I have the custom 22 pdf, lets see if I can upload it. It includes the headstock template Attachment : PRS-DC-Custom-22.pdf

Attachment : IMG_6237.jpeg Meant to post this a while ago and forgot. Readily available in the U.K. cost £21 for 500ml and works well. I tried it on a recent Telecaster style build lining all the ...

Wealden Tool Co. cutters are significantly cheaper than Trend and, IMHO, are of a higher quality. I use them with manual routing and their solid TC spirals are the standard on my CNC router.

I couldn't agree more @nsj. They're the best I've come across. 🎶🎸🙂🙏

@liebe the problem with plunge is you can go to deep and start hitting the wood with the collet. For bits you can go with trend for reasonable but if spending a bit more I've got to say radian, they'r...

@liebe As @nsj said, longer shafts on the router bits is useful. I use these:

@liebe Longer router bits, I do mine with a palm router including floyd rose routs etc. Most routers don't have a huge plunge but you use a bunch of different length bits then just swap them as you go...

Hi Dan, I can understand your frustration with the limitations of a 35mm plunge depth, it makes those deep routs quite challenging. For what it’s worth I have two routers, the elder of the two is a PR...

@cafebrouge Welcome to the forum! I can't help you with your question, but your guitars look great! 👍

Thanks @swepri. Satisfying experience - although soldering is a constant headache. Trying to do a Caballo Tono Ligero thinline with this one.

Hi GM community! I’m about to embark on a Tele build - my third build (pics below of first two) - and decided I should join a forum because I’ll definitely need some help. I’m looking to do an HH Te...

@liebe I was concerned about slot depth, slots being clean, getting to much glue on and it choking the slots etc etc lol Might try the acetone next time. Supposed to work well and of course it doesn't...

Frets are in and side dots done, next up will be sorting the headstock and carving the neck. Attachment : 20231113_182010.jpg Attachment : 20231113_182016.jpg

@liebe For sure, without it you can use a regular fret saw lol What glue did you use? I found out the hard way that wood glue doesn't work with plastic binding lol. Superglue was fine though and did...

@liebe I got one of those hosco fret slot cleaning saws, seems to work ok
