@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.

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...
