Looking forward to this thread Louis! I agree with Russ - this could be the start of something wonderful for you 😃

Posted by: @ Groovy Louis. I've heard about you from Mark on the Live Stream. I wish I had started at your age. Keep it up. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Hi All, I am new here and never built a electric guitar before. I am building a guitar for my thesis for school and Mark helped me a lot along the way! Today i cut out of the shape of my guitarbody (i...

@jamesbisset I like the Mackintosh style font it's very distinctive and needs to be vertical and not slanted to fit in with the Mackintosh theme. I wonder if there are any other aspects of Mackintosh...

@jamesbisset I think whatever you go for, it should be design unto itself, not dependent on the shape of the headstock. You will probably be making many guitars so it should be something you can apply...

yeah I thought of that, so far it hasn’t really been necessary but when I catch a typo after posting my ocd tends to kick in a bit @mattbeels Yeah me too. It’s seriously irritating isn’t it?

@mattbeels How about “Edit Guitars” as a name?

why doesn’t the 🤬 edit button work?!? @mattbeels Oh, forgot to tell you, the edit button doesn’t work.

Hi Matt why doesn’t the edit button work?!? When I get it very wrong, I copy the text then delete the post and paste into a new one, then edit before before sending. Don't know why the edit button ...

@mattbeels it's a stewmac truss rod: It's definitely bigger than others I've seen but I like my necks a little bit chunky so no problem there.
