Thanks for all the positive feed back on the Live Stream today. I have a couple of details that I need to sort out that I ma hoping you can help me with. I have 4 or 5 downloaded 'ES335' plans and no ...

Gibson Memphis have their pre-slotted fingerboards supplied by a third party. I know where they could buy a jig - good price - and then they’d be able to do their own!

Thanks Darren, that second one is really useful. - necks tenons are finessed by hand with a chisel - Gibson Memphis have their pre-slotted fingerboards supplied by a third party. I’m amazed Mark find...

That second video was a really interesting watch - thanks @darrenking 🙂

@mattbeels I always wonder why electric players even bother with volume controls they always go full blast - after the sound check and setting the levels of course. Controls just add circuit noise any...

Oh, I’ve just remembered the other Iron Gear pickups I’ve used, Metal Machine. Awesome 🙂

It seems the edit button does not work for me on this forum @koendb Yeah Matt makes a good point, @tv101 knows about the edit button, ask him about it. 👍 Oh, I’ve just remembered the other I...

It seems the edit button does not work for me on this forum @koendb The edit button doesn’t work for any of us, it broke a while back. Im an Iron Gear fan too, I’ve used quite a few Hot Slag, Rollin...

And another one

Very interesting little video on ES335 construction.

@darrenking Just to get vaguely back on-topic, briefly, the top of my SA700 measures 4.3mm thick. I don't seem to have a photo of it anywhere, but it's a MiJ 70s/80s 335 alike. Everything I find ...

*One of my favourite workhorse guitars is the Yamaha RGX A2. It is has an LED in the pickup switch. You would not believe the response this gets from other guitar players, from confusion to speechless...

Darren, I reckon you probably know as much about the strength of laminates as anyone. And a 335 is glorified solid guitar with an ornamental shell for mounting pots, switch and scratch plate. However,...

I’m not sure, but this could just be a single internal dialogue! Has anybody actually seen TV10101 and Boo in the same room?? @darrenking “Well me, it's nice talking to myselfA credit to dementiaSom...

Nice work Bagpress! My very first guitar build was based on a Les Paul arch top double cut semi hollowbody. Same type of neck tenon. I completely eyeballed it and actually turned out surprisingly ok ...

I have a shelf on the mezzanine in my factory where I kept a notched tally of the number of rats that I trapped/shot during a couple of particularly enthusiastic infestations. One even got into the of...

I’m not sure, but this could just be a single internal dialogue! Has anybody actually seen TV10101 and Boo in the same room?? I think an investigation might be in order! 🤣🤣🤣

I know *NOT* to mess with monsters. @tv101 🤣 You shouldn’t appease monsters or they win! The guitar gods walk with you and give you the confidence to defeat the demons. Strike a chord, kill t...

What kind of guitar builder are you? Come on man! My monsters are in my head but that doesn’t stop me! If I can do it, you can. I'm an alive guitar builder @boo - and I've stayed that way because I k...

I'd do it now, but my digital calipers are out in my workshop, and it's wet and windy and dark outside now, and I'm pretty sure that the monsters come out when it gets dark, so I'm not going out there...
