@darrenking Yup, cedar sounds like an good option, though I'd prefer a pale, yellow style rather than a red cedar if there was a choice. I must confess to a weakness for the look of John Lennon’s Epih...

Laminated necks just look great and, so long as you can get them glued up properly, are actually a great way of building very strong and stable necks from smaller sections of timber. What a fantastic ...

UPDATE Well I have gotten about as far as I can go for now till it warms up a bit, its about 19F here now and not looking like its going to warm up for a bit. Ill probably make a veneer for the headst...

As it is 33 years ago today that I married my lovely Paula this is my favourite song today:

I’m open to suggestions, Darren. 😘 But my initial intention was to make an electric guitar that I could take into folk clubs and open mic nights without raising suspicion. Pale, natural woods ...

@darrenking Thanks that would be helpful

@darrenking I'm thinking of buying some of the fret scale templates that you've made but am not sure if they would fit into the set up that I already have. Can you tell me how wide they are please. I ...
