My 335 Ooooo, I didn't know you had one of these! Can James B and I cut it up to see what's inside please? 🤣 🤣

What I think is that primarily the pick ups, wiring harness, bridge and nut makes the tone plugged into the amp. Frets come into play secondly and makes a considerable difference. Fretboard and body m...

It would be interest on peoples thought on what makes the best tone. Agree with what TV said. When plugged in it comes down to your fingers, pickups, and amp. Got an ex band mate who used both solid ...

I do agree @TV101 but the guitar also has there own unique tone..certain players use the same type of guitar for that reason. Tele’s are twangy etc.. And I agree with that too @deej - my comment was ...

They also have them in thicker MDF but... The clear ones have the advantage of placing them on the body blank to pick out the best spot regarding the grain pattern so, there’s that. But you should mak...

I have posted the video of martin Taylor and my guitars on "Thistle 2 The archtop if you are interested

A few more pics of the archtop build for your entertainment. The side bending went well but very slowly round my exhaust pipe bending tube. Thanks for the tip of thinning the maple for the tighter ben...

Looks like it’s going to be an LP summer
