@andyorton2gmail-com Welcome to the playground Andrew. Hope you have Fun. There are people out there that would sell you a 24" premade fretboard. If you are planning to make one yourself you can mark ...

@liebe thankyou for the warm welcome I'm watching marks video on using an existing neck to measure out the scale length, if I was to create a 25 inch scale, can I use a neck from a standard strat sca...

It'll be fine, if it still rattles after set up just drill out a marker near the middle, take all tension off the rod and glue in a dowel clamping till the glue dries. Then fit a new marker. I used t...

Friend asked me to build him a guitar, he sent the wood. Pale moon ebony and mahogany. Originally a prs, then a superstrat and finally he sent me a pic and said this please lol. Anyway stranberg boden...

Sorry forgot to mention, I'm based in Wolverhampton. Tele build with 24 inch scale inspired by shorter scale similar to suregold

Hi everyone Wow, wish I'd signed up sooner. Some awesome builds I've seen and hope I'll be one to present here eventually, lol. Having been on a course elsewhere, as fun as it was I'd wish I'd arri...

Next, I levelled the frets, recrowned, polished and dressed the ends. Then I applied Liberon finishing oil to the neck (6 coats) and the top of the body (8 coats). I thought that the oil might make th...

@boo welcome!

OK all you Fender experts out there. I’ve got someone who wants me to make him a Tele with very simple spec BUT has specified a wide neck. Does anyone know if there is a recognised wide size for a Te...

To avoid breakout I no longer route the headstock profile and use the method described by Brian here... I think I would try sanding/scraping the top face of the neck to remove the marks left by the co...

@jonhodgson Totally agree with Dan's comments and would just like to add that routing the headstock shape can be tricky, maybe better to cut close to your template lines on the bandsaw then use belt s...

If you think you have seen it or something like it before you probably have. Built similar guitar for a friend last year that worked out so well I just had to do one for myself. It took a while due to...

Hey Jonathan - That's normal. We normally push it as far back as it will go (towards the body end). This way it cannot slide back any further so could only potentially move forwards but - it won't mov...
