That was me.

@marcel Yeah but you can now build awesome guitars and basses. How many of your old school friends can do that? 

@marcel  I was the goalkeeper too. Iv’e been trying to learn to play guitar for over 50 years, maybe I should try bass.

Being a bass player I’ve made several basses at home @marcel I think you are the best bass guitar maker here amongst us and this build just proves it. This week you have inspired me to plan a few more…   Read more»

Made a mistake (or a happy accident) drilling one of the holes for the tuners. But it wasn’t difficult to repair it.

@marcel I’ve done exactly the same thing but like you say, it is easy to repair.

@marcel Yep, great little video. It does go through me a bit because it have got a bit of tendinitis in my left arm because of holding guitars up and out whilst spraying. I’m going to build a guitar holder…   Read more»

I made many mistakes (and still do) but one learns from his mistakes, so over the years I’ve learned a lot!

I know that feeling well @marcel
That Tele build looks to have turned out pretty well though!

@marcel It is deserved, well done. 

@marcel I do agree with you about @markbailey but you are not giving yourself enough credit. I’m sure you could do it on your own now that you have been to the workshop a few times. All of us can,…   Read more»

That is such a beautiful instrument, amazing work @marcel 

@marcel This is a really nice build, I’m looking into building a bass soon. You look the business on stage with that. Excellent work!
