@boo Love that classic Dio. Did you know that after recording the track that he hated it and thought it was too commercial? He wanted to take a razor and destroy the tape but the band had to talk him ...

@marcel I'm not a fan of country & western, but I do love Johhny Cash. 100% in agreement, JC was a super cool badass!

@tv101 My previous post was in reference to the bass pickguard. The one on the guitar looks pretty sweet as it enhances the color. What kind of *cheap piece of shit* plastic did you use? 😂 I’m...

@tv101 Niiice pickguard, did you buy it or make it? I can easily make an alu guard and there’s a great youtube vid from Maximum Guitar Works where he built a jig to sand them for the brushed look befo...

@tv101 I also do that. Even though on my router it would be quite difficult to hit the switch while changing bits I’ve always unplugged it while doing so. I don’t take any chances with that particular...

Although doing a few climb cuts to avoid tear out is a good idea. Mark covers that in the course but this is general woodworking info that can be found anywhere. Stewmac is a good resource, they will ...

@robin You are correct. Cutting a hole like a control cavity or for a pickup would be done clockwise. Profiling and rounding over a body would be done counter clockwise.

@robin I didn't have plastic like real guitars have, but I did have wood. I was just being a typical cheapskate Scotsman. I don’t think using wooden covers is being cheap, quite the contrary. I thi...

@cheesewhisk Practicing on scrap is one of the most important golden rules! I learned that chunk of wisdom from the mighty Dan Erlewine but it took me a while to actually implement it. 😂 I’ll ...

@boo What would you all do with a guitar you bought that had plastic cavity covers on? Would you make something out of wood or some other material? With bought guitars I simply leave them. I wouldn...

And I’m gearing up to prove it!

Rall should easily be the cheapest but as his aren’t in stock you’ll have to either play the waiting game or bite the bullet and get the SM one... what do you not understand about working out which is...

@eddie6string Here’s my Root Beer Jem. It originally had pink pickups and a black guard. They both had to go 😂 Attachment : 4917D445-7E8E-4EE1-936B-830FCB1A7245.jpeg Can you believe the...

I’m not entirely against pickguards it’s just that they usually don’t appeal to me and I’m not interested in plastic. Also as a tech I don’t like having to remove all those screws on those pesky pickg...

@tv101 You get a beautiful piece of timber with some wonderful grain pattern, get it finished perfectly, and then stick a cheap bit of plastic (scratchplate) over it? Nope. Yup, you said it bro. Bu...

Cheers Adam, no I don’t have that saw blade but plan on ordering one at some point. They also have a 150mm version if that helps. I just looked at them again and it appears that there are a couple of ...

@eddie6string Q: Clear Pickguard or Gold Mounting rings, Waddayafink? Well, since you asked... neither. Personally I don’t much care for pickguards, pickup frames or gold hardware 😂 so I say...

@russ Well done, welcome to the 20th century!😂😂😂 Don‘t worry, I‘m not super proficient with tech either 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦‍♂...

You guys are probably not aware of a really good store in Bavaria called Rall Guitars. shop.rall-online.net He’s a really nice guy with a website in English and they have a great selection of tools an...

@boo That killswitch looks smooooth!
