WOW - Amazing to see what is possible... THANKS John !!

You will have to decide whether there will enough 'meat' left to re-crown and polish the frets after leveling - often they are not as bad as they seem. If you cannot re-crown without the file damaging...

Teflon tape? No...this will make it worse a blob of white glue? Yes! If you need to get them out you can heat them gently with a soldering iron until the glue lets go. I've also used epoxy to fi...

@jmcmi93888 hmm....maybe you were not signed in....seems to be working now ?

@herb It depends on the exact product used - you should do a test! ?

How should I mask the rosewood fingerboard AND de-mask it whilst maintaining a perfect paint line running up to the fretboard edge. Very Carefully... ? Mask up the fretboard as normal then: add anot...

@jmcmi93888 OMG I'm gagging to see pics! Did you see this John?

The cutter will always be unguarded with this application no? Ah... i see that it hides within the donut thingy. The cutter will inevitably have to protrude a little bit (by the same amount as the de...

Hi The router should be able to move freely up and down to follow the shape of the back - on my binding jig it moves smoothly on a linear bearing - there are no springs... More importantly your cutte...

A bandsaw with 80mm Depth of cut is great for a starter - I made my first 60 guitars with a similar one as seen here: Looking foward to making a start in September........ Looking forward to hearin...

How to Make a Thru Neck Electric Guitar (I'm working on a video on this subject - thanks Herb for the suggestion!) While you are waiting for the edit - here is the nub of it... Making a thru neck guit...

Sounds perfect Herb - I took some video of the process during the last course - Will try to edit/upload something ASAP.

Perhaps the height of the fretboard alone isn't sufficient? Yes Herb - you have answered your own question! ? On a Strat (or any other bolt on neck) the neck sticks out enough so that the strings ar...

Lets not get too stuck up in this... ? I use: Titebond - most jobs White glue - anything that might need disassembled in future (acoustic guitars Neck and Bridge) Epoxy - Oily woods like Cocobolo -...

Excellent ! For me it is not about making guitars faster - but better - or at least more accurately... Also I think I would use mine mostly for patterns not actual guitars - making templates is fun th...

As we are now 'living in the future' it seems crazy not to at least explore the world of CNC for the home guitar builder It is a subject I am becoming more interested in as time goes on...with the lat...
