@liebe Looking good!

@liebe I followed the great step-by-step process from @boo that he posted in this thread: I admit, drilling the access hole was not the easiest step. I also prepared a bit more than in the pictures a...

@russ By the looks of it, the result is very consistent. I had no problems with fret ends springing up and they all seems to be seated properly. I have not checked or leveled the frets yet, but I expe...

So far, I have only made set neck guitars. Time to try something else - a jazzmaster inspired build. I got some great advice from @Boo on making the neck, so I started out. I bought some maple last su...

Mojo pickups do a set of humbucker size gold foils for £200, not sure if mounting rings are included but if they’re not Axtec do metal mounting rings for humbuckers.😃

@liebe Cheers Dan. 🙏🙂🎸🎶

@liebe It's designed to go straight on wood, it's a hardwax oil. This guy uses hardwax oil over stain without anything else. Same sort of thing, just different brand. Try it on a test piece.

@liebe Nice work Dan. I've used the liberon finishing oil on a couple of acoustic guitar builds and it turned out well. I put 5 coats of it on. I'd be interested to see some other pictures of how you ...

@liebe Sweet T guitars on youtube would be the guy to check out regarding using it with stains. I tend to just go natural. And yeh, matt/satin is where I'm at. Mine came from that place

@liebe I’ve not used the Liberon oil yet but will probably finish my current build with it, I imagine the Crimson oils and Liberon are pretty similar, the method of application certainly is. Thanks fo...

@liebe looking good, the osmo poly x stuff it brilliant imo, bought some not long ago to try out and very happy with the results. I don't see it in the pics but if stacking the heel use different p...

Have a look at crimsonguitars.com, they do a range of stains (both spirit and water based) and finishing oils. I used the penetrating guitar finishing oil on my Winebox guitar and it gave a nice satin...

Modify it, I do it all the time. I'm never aiming for an exact shape, just similar lol

@liebe - much easier!

Any guitar - built or bought - that is fun to play and looks as good as yours does, is a good guitar. So congrats on your first build being a good one! Over the next 50 builds, they'll get even bette...

I appreciate your work in creating this masterpiece. Your fingers must dance on the fretboard, creating melodies that touch the soul. The way you would wield the six strings is pure magic! Your strumm...

Yes indeed, and it surely does not help that you can t reach the sympathetic strings easily to stretch them , if the play strings are all mounted

Today I g ot the round over done, cavity sorted and made the slot for the blade switch. Used the router dremmel attachment and a straight edge as a guide. Attachment : 20230828_171248.jpg At...
