I was really impressed with the Polyx Raw blend, on the floor, since it has a white additive that artificially keeps the surface white. The maple still looks like I just sanded it, but with a faint waxy top.Interesting! Thanks…   Read more»

I would guess that it would be pretty thick consistancy if it is used for floors. That is not a good attribute for guitar finishes. Guitar finishes can affect the sound – especially an acoustic – it would be like…   Read more»

Strange the ports are not 100mm? I had another look and it looks like the 2 1/2″ is a reducer so it could be fitted with a 100mm(I feel this would be better for cooling and dust collection – but…   Read more»

YES! – I did mention this in a previous comment 😉

Yes – it doesn’t quite have the weight behind it as the old style…I thought about making my own for a while…Andy from Tonetech was looking into having them made for us…We’ll see what happens…Such a shame Stewmac discontinued it.

Don’t forget about the extraction – it is vital on these kind of machinesIf you do don’t forget to tell ’em I recommended them 🙂

That’s the jobby!

Yes you can still angle the headstock as normal …the section where the fretboard is glued will stay flat. The ‘neck’ angle will be actually be cut into the body. Don’t worry it will all make sense… It is probably…   Read more»

FYI: One alternative to a neck angle is to recess the bridge…but it is a bit of a cop out and you may have trouble fitting pickup surrounds under the strings as they will be lower than normal. Not recommended.

You will likely need a small neck angle to ensure the strings arrive at the right height for the bridge – failure to do this will mean you are stuck with really high action. It is not too difficult unless…   Read more»

If you are worrying about string spacing at the nut then I highly recommend this tool from Stewmac:https://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Types_of_Tools/Straightedges/String_Spacing_Rule.htmlKeeps things simple…(it was a lot cheaper when I got mine yrs ago! – but I would not be without it) Mark in 1/8″ (3mm…   Read more»
