To avoid breakout I no longer route the headstock profile and use the method described by Brian here... I think I would try sanding/scraping the top face of the neck to remove the marks left by the co...

Hey Jonathan - That's normal. We normally push it as far back as it will go (towards the body end). This way it cannot slide back any further so could only potentially move forwards but - it won't mov...

I'd suggest making a side section drawing of the neck so you can see clearly what's going on...if you do that and then take a photo of your drawing we can check it out. A couple of notes: Make sure th...

It is not a method I've used or recommend for inlaying guitars (in my experience you cannot get a crisp outline like a 'proper' inlay) but it should work... sounds like they need to be polished maybe?...

Oooft! It happens to the best of us.... 🙄

Hi Lena! Great question - The ends of the UFB and XB can be right next to each other, but if they are actually touching it will make it difficult to fit them as they will be glued on overlong to b...

@liebe Hey Dan This is Carol now on Marks page 😉 NO offence taken at all - we know we have been absent, and it is shame indeed ... BUT we are finally making our way back up to where we were ... and ...

@liebe hello to you and everyone who sees this - things have gone a bit astray here, mainly because of family illness after the pandemic - but we are trying to get back on track. There is some news......

Love the neck join and the clean look of the natural finish - class!

Thanks for sharing Stephen - looks beauteous 🙂 is that one of our Sycamore caps? Can't wait to see it with the strings on!

@robin Link works - guitar sounds great! Awesome job -thanks for posting!

@robin Yep I remembered after I posted that so I edited my comment 🙂 Sorry my bad memory...

Great job @Robin - thanks for your kind words and for sharing the pics for us all to admire. Maybe you can upload the vid to youtube or elsewhere and just drop the link here so we can watch? Anyhow.. ...

Great job Brian 👍 - Thanks for sharing the pics...and for your kind words...makes it all worthwhile!

Hey @somethingnicer - THANKS for ordering the kit!! Carol is packing your parts - she will message you with an update today . Sorry about the contact form - we have contacted the webguys . Can you se...

Absolutely gorgeous - great plan! You'll probably find guitars much easier now after that - I did anyway. I found ukes to be a lesson in humility myself as they are much smaller and very much fiddlier...

Boom!

If you are going to 'tune' any of the braces, plates, chambers make sure to offset your tuner by 1/4 note (A=431) The last thing you want is parts tuned to concert pitch. Until you have a few builds u...

OK you convinced me... - it's on the list...just need to convince Carol now! Seriously though - do you have any Laser cutter/engraver recommendations for anyone who might be interested?

If in doubt: Mount your bridge into a lump of scrap wood to simulate the body then you can work out exactly where the take off point of the string will be - always a good idea to test your procedure o...
