That sounds amazing Deej, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Love seeing your work Dave and it was a pleasure to be on the course when you completed the Super Strat - beautiful wood choice fashioned into a stunning instrument...top work my friend!

CBG’s about 3/4 years ago, electrics and acoustic about 2 years or so. I have kept two, the superstrat and this one (the body/not the cap came out of my dads house when he died). There are videos of ...

Very nice. I love the Birdseye Maple and binding, that’s something else I haven’t done yet. Top job Edwin.

Great job Edwin

Thnx!! Still thinking about sanding the oil off and giving it a spray job with 2k high gloss, just like my first Bailey BYO. It will have to wait until a nice spring day though. I'm spraying outdoors ...

I put a coat of Finishing Oil onto the guitar whilst I made the electronics. Attachment : 03E2BCDC-5E41-49F5-A05C-45752E27552D.jpeg Attachment : 2A1A1E1F-46CA-4F2C-9B0D-573F03F8270A.jpeg ...

After playing the guitar for a while, I realised that the frets I had installed were too small for my liking so I did a complete refret with some much bigger ones. Attachment : E468AEA8-6809-4F9C...

No? Ok, I was only joking! Attachment : 9DC88516-F4AD-46A8-B7D5-71F5FB8079CB.png Attachment : 8E54EFF2-B736-461B-A2EA-7B4E09B5B427.png

Nice build John! Look at the grain on that, I assume, mahogany! Nice headstock design too... so hard to come up with something special! And... brave to do a refret. I'm in the process of that with my ...

Thank you very much Herb. Yes it is Mahogany and it is a particularly nice piece. When I put the Finishing Oil on, that lovely grain just popped out at me, it really does make you proud of all the sa...

Posted by: John L The pickups I used in this Bailey Bandsman are Hot Slags from Iron Gear. Attachment : 5B1E892E-41AA-4336-801F-589B1139CCC9.jpeg I do like a couple of hot slags ? I bet sh...

They do sound great for inexpensive hotness!

Hot slags....? ? ? ? Joking aside..... Budget PU's can sound great. I've had similar experiences wit Wilkinsons and Toneriders.

Sign of a great teacher/mentor. ?

No probs Mark. I will post more as I do them - I just hope it give inspiration to some of your students.

Frets went in a treat. Levelling and profiling as we speak (taking a break and having a cuppa) Attachment : HP_181205_IMG_7176.jpg Those above the 14th were easier than I thought!

Oh no - it's not going to work... I'm left handed with hammers! But... I have a cunning plan... thanks for this Sir

Today I have flattened the lacquer down to P600 grade, I’ll probably finish with P800 before relacquering. I did the top and back today and got rid of most of the imperfections that I was worried abou...

I decided to cut up some pieces of an old credit card and use them to jam the ferrule block into the cavity, it works well. I’m going to relacquer the whole guitar first before permanently gluing the ...
