@brie thanks Brian. I've found the whole process so much fun albeit with a step learning curve! It's not perfect, but what I learnt from making the mistakes and how to rectify them is invaluable. Do i...

@swepri thanks! It's been an excellent learning opportunity too. Onwards to the next build!

Nice work on the headstock repair! I've restrung and tuned a sitar before, that is a never ending job!

Lovely work!

@boo cheers! Skint can do with ease😅

@boo thanks man! I learnt a lot doing this one and want to get on with the next soon so I don't forget. I'm thinking of getting two on the go at the same time.If i can sell one that week help pay for ...

@koendb thank you! I drew up some other designs, but in all honesty they were ridiculous. This was the simplest and easiest to do!

Thanks Russ! It's a Rothko and Frost decal. That and the Headstock veneer were last minute additions. I learnt a lot. Like that decals and tru oil don't play nicely. That's the second decal I used a...

Hi folks, thought I'd share some shots of my first guitar build following Mark's BYO online course. You've probably seen me pop up from time to time with odd questions in a desperate need to find an a...

@russ thanks Russ. I put it on liberally but was pretty fastidious about wiping off the excess, so I'd say thin coats. Last coat went on last Wednesday, so sounds like I'm good to go!

Hey folks, Sorry if this question has been posted before. What is the advised cure time to leave liberion finishing oil before starting assembly? Looking on line the suggestion is 24/36 hours, bit of...

Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you. I was thinking if the hotel was long enough to lop 80mm odd of the end and build up the heel a bit like on an acoustic... I guess you save a bit of money on a thinne...

Hey folks, I've nearly completed my first build and already considering my next.. In thinking of doing a set neck with a scarf joint headstock. I've read and seen vids that by doing the scarf I can g...

Brilliant, cheers guys. What I thought, but great to have it confirmed. I'm sure it won't be the last blip! Dan

Hi folks, I've made a bit of a boo boo when gluing the fretboard. Perhaps the pins weren't pushed in for enough and I likely used too much titebond, but when clamping up the fretboard twisted on the h...

Hi Brian, appreciate that thanks buddy. Following the previous replied and the YouTube that NSJ shared mine's all sorted now. I just used a 1/2" router to widen the slot as you mention. I've come up a...

@nsj I found I needed to do this and was grateful of the length of the neck blank. I guess if you're making your own nut you can adapt the depth of the nut, within reason, too.

Thanks buddy, this is very useful. Appreciate you finding the vid for me!

Thanks for the replies folks. I think I have been over thinking it. I suppose it could be a good time to practice my chisel skills, although a Dremel is a good suggestion. After posting I had thought ...

Thanks. Maybe I've not found it yet, but there's no mention of needing another router bit to fit the truss rod in the course vids and only the one cutter for electric guitar truss rods in the shop. I ...
