@rathius Hi Rathius and happy new year to you. You really shouldn't be seeing this kind of failure if the veneers are bonded properly in the first place and it suggests to me that they haven't been pr...

Hi All, have just joined and I'm seeking advice for finishing an old bass of mine. Glad to meet you all, Tony 😊

@liebe Yeah, I figured it might be problematic on top of wax oil but I've a few spare water slide decals I made up for a previous guitar so I'll give your suggestion a try. I've got to take Mrs Tesee ...

Very happy with this. Chambered Tele-ish thing for a friend. Nice Ovankol top from Mark & Carol. Attachment : IMG_1975.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1976.jpeg

Merry Christmas Everyone. 🎄🎉🥂🥳 🎸🙂🎵🙏

Here’s my #2. It’s a mustang style with 3 jaguar pickups. Has a 5 way rotary encoder instead of a blade switch. 25.5” scale, and I think I’m gonna keep building at that scale. Pickups were hand wound ...

Really interesting to hear all your views on this subject. Does the ebonised cherry not smell like a bag of chips though!!🤣🤣 Walnut neck vodka sounds interesting 🤪 There’s a go...

@liebe walnut is nice, not to heavy, same with cherry. Made a full start entirely from cherry. Both lighter than limba or at least black limba, posibbly similar to the likes of brazillian mahogany. Yo...

I've used beech, ash, oak, cherry and walnut so far. All been really good. Only tricky one is oak because I did a carve top and it's very hard lol

So a friend asked about me building him an electic ukelele, I think you can tell by the pics I like super strats lol Sapele body and neck, ebony fretboard, yew and resin top. Went with a 17 inch sca...

@koendb A true work of art 👍 😀

Hi Lena! Great question - The ends of the UFB and XB can be right next to each other, but if they are actually touching it will make it difficult to fit them as they will be glued on overlong to b...

Attachment : IMG_6893.jpeg Purple Mustang is finally dry, so I’ve been assembling and finally got down to electronics and I realized I ran my pickup wires through the mounting holes… so now I need...

In the meantime, I finished the rosette, turned the tuning pegs and fitted them to the pegbox. I also carved the lower inside of the pegbox for better string access Attachment : 5A018EEA-CAED-4218...

@liebe Hey Dan This is Carol now on Marks page 😉 NO offence taken at all - we know we have been absent, and it is shame indeed ... BUT we are finally making our way back up to where we were ... and ...

@markbailey , take your time health first the rest comes later. Thx for the update. Best to you and the familie.
