@mattbeels pretty much but I’ll sand the veneer to roughly match the rough headstock profile. Suggestion from Mark is to drill an 8mm hole and ream it out to 10mm to remove chance of breakout. Don’t have a reamer so…   Read more»

@mattbeels thanks, yet another thing with many many “best” ways to do it, will see how I get on. I need a flatbed of some kind for reflattenising (of course that’s a word!) a couple of whetstones. Looks like the…   Read more»

What size are you after @boo? It looks like they have everything available unless I missed something…

@mattbeels Erm, I was thinking 9.5mm is a bit big for fretboard dots or is it acceptable? Not sure. 

Awesome riff, ripping solo, shitty video!

@mattbeels Yes! 🤘😝🤘🎸

@mattbeels for the most part (and I’ll admit to limited exposure to it), it doesn’t do it for me. But there’s no denying that there are some monster players and some monster guitars associated with the genre (though I’ve never…   Read more»

but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

@mattbeels Well, I don’t know about that. 🤣 

Are you gonna use a headplate? 

@mattbeels What, like a cap, a veneer? Do you think I should? I was thinking of just painting it. 

Thanks everyone…@bpower @koendb @mattbeels @rocknroller912 @russ Really appreciate your comments..I’m afraid to say that I had to sack my assistant, he was making too many demands and becoming very high maintenance…!!! Next video coming v soon… Thanks @markbailey I was…   Read more»

What’s the difference? I always thought they were two names for the same thing and a quick goofle search seems to confirm that… @mattbeels I’ve no idea it just wasn’t clear! I’ll watch that video though as there are a…   Read more»

Sorry @tej…

@mattbeels it’s fine, suppose it’s ok for  someone else asks questions too 😛

@mattbeels 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🎸

That’s one sweet gift @mattbeels . 😀  I had a similar problem with stock of the 350S. Apparently its something to do with shipping being delayed out of China. I think stocks are starting to drip through though. The place…   Read more»

Cheers @mattbeels. I was originally considering the BS250 but managed to push it to the BS350. I’m pleased I pushed the budget a bit on this. Yes absolutely if you can get the Sabre it’s definitely worth going for those…   Read more»

@mattbeels with the price of quality forstner bits I’m not sure that’s a saving.I’m thinking of trying one of these for bulk removal.https://routercutter.co.uk/up-cut-3-flute-roughing-spirals-metric-eu

Anything else out of the norm on this one? @mattbeels It’s another one pickup special with no pick guard and a hidden tenon joint. It’s going to be finished in matt black paint (neck included), Gotoh black chrome bridge and…   Read more»

You’re probably not getting into the business of refrets so you don’t need an expensive pair. @mattbeels I only need them for regretting 1 guitar but I love the neck on it and really don’t want to wreck it. Mark…   Read more»

@mattbeels 😴 😜 

Excellent @koendb! Looks like this one is done! Almost @Mattbeels! Almost, still need to do the roundoff , fix the dings, and finish it. I just finished experimenting with mixing wood filler and stain to solve the ugly area around…   Read more»

This is how he looks nowadays:

See @mattbeels – that’s what lockdown does to a hairstyle ….

Furthermore I never heard of anybody playing a Taylor electric guitar either!

I had a T3 for a while @mattbeels.  Beautifully made, but just a bit too big in the body to feel comfortable.
