@whyte Welcome to the group. I’m a London exile living in Scotland

Welcome @whyte, what a great gift. Enjoy the course, it's definitely worth watching through before you start to make sawdust. This community is such a large part of the process, they've helped me thro...

Don’t worry about what shape they are, they don’t have to be symmetrical. There are some weird and wonderful cover plate shapes out there and some can even be comical. Get creative and have fun! Rock...

Post #2 and final post for this build. 🙂 I was just talking to my wife about how it has only been less than a year and I have now completed my second acoustic guitar build. And, in my opinion, this s...

One thing about the neck is that the transition up to the headstock sort of begins between the 1st and 2nd frets. I know 1st fret is the standard but it feels quite comfy in my hands as is. Has anyone...

Just need to tidy up that heel transition with the surform and use progressively finer grits all over. One thing about the neck is that the transition up to the headstock sort of begins between the 1s...

This counts as a luthier joke cause there’s a guitar in the picture Attachment : DA43EF11-A0E5-4927-8FC6-0E2B47933DA1.jpeg

Always happy to get constructive criticism. i was thinking, though, for my ‘audience’ who don’t know the course, the structure of it for them will not have the context of someone who has seen the co...

@jamesonguitar I’m glad you are dedicated to having a go and you will definitely learn a lot and have fun doing it. It’s good to see you documenting your guitar build but I must just say something, a...

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I'm also planning on documenting my guitar building journey.

Hi all, I've bitten the bullet and signed up for the fantastic acoustic guitar making course here! I am a complete novice with any sort of woodworking... so this may end up being a little hard than ...

Hey Boo, it’s great to have you putting this little machine through its paces and to see it doing such a sterling job for you! Whoever knew that sewing machine motors could be so useful? Cheers Darren

Yeah alright, you lot were correct, the white pickup covers do look the business. It’s starting to look really nice now this jazz bass. I’m upgrading the bridge to a Wilkinson and I may even upgrade t...

Huge thank you to all those that voted to get a Mirka sander, what a difference that made. So this is it, sanded and a finally took the plunge and glued the neck in. Obviously I was terrified and obvi...

Just a little follow up for those who helped me along the way, and anyone else who may be interested. Although this has taken me about 9 months from starting the research, I have had 3 weeks of eveni...

Guitar build on one side of the bench... acoustic bliss on the other. Perfect music for a perfect hobby. 🙂 Attachment : 20210805_193021.jpg

My local wood miller is going out of business. My main source of local Koa. Bummer. All good. As a gesture of his appreciation from all the ukuleles and guitars I built from his stacks, he gave me a s...

@clinton Im getting audio/video just fine although the video is in psychedelic colours and multi vision layers (seriously). Is that intentional or is it a fault? There is one other possibility, it co...

I had a little play with the asymmetric idea - this is my first attempt but actually much prefer it. Would be good to hear everyone’s thoughts on whether it actually is an improvement though! Wary of ...
