@liebe Thanks Dan, the London Plane came from a company called Timberline shop.exotichardwoods.co.uk they call it Lacewood but proper lacewood is totally different. They have it as bookmatched guitar ...

I’d hoped to be finished this one a while back but, as they say, the best laid schemes O’ mice and men. Anyway here it is, what we have is a Poplar body with a London Plane cap, the neck wood is myste...

Nice one Dan, looking forward to seeing the other two finished products in due course 👍😃🎸

@liebe ,nice build, great finish.

@somethingnicer Like @koendb says, if you've got the money, Mirka Deros 5650 is the bee's knees. If you're looking for something a bit cheaper then Rutland's do a reasonable alternative. &#x...

One piece Brazillian mahogany body, one piece Brazillian mahogany neck. Yew and resin top, ebony board, stainless frets. Gotoh hardware and some kick ass warman pickups. Added a little touch to the ...

@koendb zero issues, I did 3 but when pulling the trem up it was pushing against the springs so I tried 2 and it works perfect.

On with the lute build! I glued together the pegbox Attachment : 7DE8CC32-35B9-4784-9990-1DF8422194B2_1_105_c.jpeg Attachment : A6AAF9BF-5168-4790-850A-6E8F9095D8B9_1_105_c.jpeg Cut an a...

This has been on the table for quite some time, but I never had the time to actually start building my bass. The design is of my own , and derived from my guitar body model, just enlarged for the la...

Hi everyone! I'm new here. Wanted to make instruments from scratch since I was in middle school 🙂 I'm autistic and I live in the most beautiful country of Latinoamérica: Chile! (very biased opinion) N...

Very nice work indeed. I’ll say what I always say when I see an acoustic build, one day I must have a go at building an acoustic. However, I’m always scared because I know how obsessed I am with makin...

The others are right @somethingnicer, once you start carving and sanding the neck profile you won't see it...... It's all a learning experience..... now you are already a more experienced router user....

@somethingnicer Most of that will be removed when carving the neck too so don't worry to much. I doubt anyone will ever notice once the build is finished.

Hey everyone, So I'm in the middle of my first build and I just profiled my neck using a neck profile jig. I made two mistakes..... 1. I stupidly lifted up before the router spun down and I dug into...

@somethingnicer Glue a shaving of wood into the recessed area, make it a good fit, and match the grain as best you can. Once you've sanded it down flush, I guarantee that no one else will notice it un...

@liebe friend had really old massive slabs of it, sold me one. Also sawed it up for me with his massive machinery so I could get the maximum use.
