@peebee Your practice body looks great. I love that crazy streak going through the middle. As long as all goes well with it you’ll probably just end up making an actual guitar out of it, why not? Cool...

@usadave Looking good so far Dave! I see what you mean about the truss slot, yeah that’s what faceplates are for 😂 The dimensions that you’re after are roughly 21mm at the first fret and 23mm ...

Yeah I’ve thought about it but 2k filler doesn’t shrink @boo 🤞👍🤘

@boo You did read correctly Thanxs, them Nuns dun lerned me gud... Best of luck with that. I would be worried that whatever you use to fill the gaps will shrink over time leaving you with an ugly, s...

@cheesewhisk Ahh Harley Benton. Cheap guitar/expensive template 😆

That’s a gif btw, not sure why it doesn’t show that 🙄

@cheesewhisk A one piece blank for an Explorer?!? That’s yuge! Attachment : image.gif

@cheesewhisk Well you’ve gone and done it now, right on! Crazy headstock design, cool that you’ve done something different. I see that you also changed the lower horn for (presumably) better fret acce...

@boo I think I read in an earlier post that you aren’t going to use a pickguard on this one? How about a top? Just thinking that to permanently hide that neck joint is highly unlikely, unless you’ve ...

@eddie6string I get the impression that Axminster is the UK equivalent to Grizzly in the US. I have the feeling that they make good stuff but I’ve never seen their tools over here so I’ve never bother...

@boo So, building for customers eh? Damn dude, you’re in the big leagues now... Why not ask your custy which switch he’d like? Or am I missing something?

@cheesewhisk My first build was a neck through Explorer so... It might be “wiser” to go with a simpler style first to get your feet wet but if you feel up for it then I say go for it! It really isn’t ...

@frocesterbill guess copy paste doesn’t work for usernames 🙄

@eddie6string I just googled that machine and it’s an old one, here’s what I found: Machine overview By Rob The Scheppach HMS 260 jointer planer is the smallest of the HMS series. In contrast to ...

@eddie6string I don’t have any experience with Axminster as I’m not in the UK but Scheppach is a German brand. I have a old scroll saw of theirs, works ok. I’ve heard mixed reviews about their newer t...

@frocesterbill Sounds like you got an amazing deal on that Dewalt, their tools ain’t cheap! Not as expensive as Festool though, their tagline should be: Tools for Rich People 😂

I'm not really sure why I sold that one 🤔 @tv101 I’m sure we all feel the same with regards to our former gear! There’s plenty of stuff that I wish I never sold... Marshall JCM 900 It was a ...

@tv101 Those BVG LP’s are cool! A old customer of mine has one. I really liked the textured Giger/Alien like finish-no pickup frame on the bridge pickup-P90 in the neck-clear cover plates-no pickguard...

ooops... @eddie6string

@russ That is what’s known as a Laminate Trimmer. Do you have a plunge base for it? If yes then read on... If you go easy on the pickup and neck socket routes you’ll be ok, but go easyish... remember ...
