Yes I suspect those figures are to impress us...Truthfully - for our purposes the amount of pressure does not matter much - as long as the pieces are held firmly together and you have squeeze-out all ...

Hey Darren - That is genius! Thanks for sharing that one...Hope the bolts come out OK for you - A little wax on the threads, in the area around the glue, would help them release(next time)... but I'm ...

Glad to have helped! It's wonderful to be a part of this and see your instruments take shape... Thanks for sharing!!

It's great to have you here John There are 'hero points' for the taking - upload some pics of the Thistle here in the acoustic showcase I'm sure some of the others haven't seen it yet!

Hey Darren - I'll PM you about this ?

Thanks for sharing your 'fail' shame to waste it... What about nylon strings with a piezo pickup? (on the brighter side it looks like it will burn very well 🙂 )

Hey Darren - No worries! Yep - Looks Smashing ? Fingers crossed for ya...

It's cool - sorry for any confusion... trust me it gets easier after the first one... Yes the angle is offset by 1/8" over 3" - its in this video if you missed it Intonation Adjustment Measure along t...

Its understandable - sorry if I appear to be lecturing...I think we all go through a similar process...quite a lot of variation if you look around online But Yes - Once you have the high E then the po...

Darren - I believe you may be overthinking this... My method advises to add .10" to the scale length along the top e simple as that - the other strings take care of themselves (providing you have a st...

I wonder if this might shine some light on this one... The correct way to measure the scale length: measure from the front (string take off side) of the nut to the centre of the 12th fret multiply by ...

Measure to the (string take off side) front of the saddle along the top E. It would be very interesting to hear an explanation from Georgia Luthier Supply about this. There may be a good reason but I...

?Brilliant! There's no rush...

I have also added drilling for an under saddle pick up. Here’s a question. The fitting instructions say to drill a hole at both ends of the saddle even though there is only one wire. I can’t believe t...

That's right Darren It is probably easier than you think - The higher action on Acoustic guitars makes them a bit more forgiving than electrics - just make sure there are no high spots. If you really ...

YES...You are right - Unless the laws of physics have changed recently (?) ? Seriously though - my method always works for me and nobody has had a problem with it. Here's my video about it Let me know...

On the rear of the guitar I’ve noticed that the low E string ferrule is offset quite considerably and I don’t know why. Can someone enlighten me as to why it has to be that far out please? Hmm... It ...

Hey Darren - great work! this should really be in the 'showcase' section rather than the Q's:

Cheers Adam - added!

This is awesome - top post! Can't wait to see how they come out with the binding.
