@nsj 🤣🤣 You're certainly not the first to say it and I'm pretty sure won't be the last!

@nsj beech? I thought it would be quite heavy, thanks for confirming. It's possibly a sacrilegious thing to say, but I'm not a big fan of the look of spalted wood. So thinlines or heavily chambered i...

Cheers @nethanpaul86. I've picked up the chestnut body blank I mentioned, just not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet... I hadn't thought of beech, is that one you've tried previously? I plan...

Hey Brian, Preamps can fall, but perhaps see if you can bypass the output from it to see if the output jack has failed or needs cleaning. I have a jack socket with two crocodile clips wired to it too...

Really impressive! Worth the wait for the update 😅

Hello and welcome! If you sign up for Mark's course there's a list of essential tools included. The course is designed to be accessible, so while the number of tools available for guitar building is ...

Hey Benjamin, I've not used that switch before and from the downloads I couldn't write see where you'd tried to work out the diagram. Probably me not looking properly. Personally, I wouldn't trust AI...

Hey @justinw & @rayfinch welcome to the club! You'll have a great time building and, as many of the folks here will say, it gets addictive.

Hey Steve, I don't know a whole lot about it but probably worth connecting the CITES authorities in both Germany and the UK to double check. Good luck with the move!

@nsj thanks Neil, that is the obvious answer I'd stupidly not considered... The other side is a bit nicer, but this will be my first carve top, so this suggestion makes the best sense.

Hi folks, All like while ago I bought a carve top that has inclusions/ bark holes in the side I want to use as the glue side. I knew it was imperfect when I bought it. What I'm wondering is it I shoul...

Hey Andy, if you have a fretboard or neck in the scale that you want and/or that you're going to use in your build you certainly can use that in your drawing to map out the position of the frets. I wo...

Welcome Andy! The online electric build course is set around building a 25" scale, but if you've got some experience you might well be able to adapt the plan. I'm sure there are other members who've ...

Nice work!

Hi @jonhodgson Love seeing progress photos and the story behind them. I wish I had access to the range of tools you have! As someone that's had chipout and had the collet robbing issue before, I fee...

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com Nice work!

Excellent work, congrats!!

Hey Tony, Certainly sounds like you're winning! I would not have expected a decal to adhere to a hard wax oil, nor nitro to sit on top too! Might have to experiment myself.... Glad your wife is all g...

Hi @teesee, I'm not an expert on spraying or the pluses and minuses if different types of lacquer. Wish I was! On my last builds I used a brush on melamine lacquer I had decent results with and it wa...

Hi Tony, The short answer is to test your finishes on a piece of scrap first. I've used Osmo on a couple of my builds, but not in combination with a lacquer. I'm not an expert, but my understanding i...
