Good to hear that your fret slots are coming out better this time @koendb! How do you like the products from TLC? I’ve been considering getting some stuff from them.

Great job @cheesewhisk! You can use a razor blade or small (sharp!) chisel to remove the dried glue, easy but a bit annoying. Just take it slow and don’t dig in.

got it in my small lathe to shave a bit off. Dang @boo, that’s a lot of work for some dots but good job! Reminds me of that Ratt song, Lathe it Down. 😆😆😆 That’s a bummer abou...

@bhrdavidyahoo-com Nice work, Harbor Freight has some good stuff among all the junk. Looks like a good project to save some cash. I’m curious where you saw such high prices on cam clamps though...

Wow @likeakite! Ican only echo what others here have already said, awesome work!

@koendb I’m not familiar with samba wood, have you checked it’s hardness with other woods used for guitar bodies? Gibson used the ABR 1 on the original V which is Limba, the Les Paul which has the map...

Hah, a little suspense is a good thing @koendb. The first two have different nut widths, 43 and 45mm. I was talking about the third one, it has something else going on...

Gotta love the Maidens, they really know how to Up my Iron. 😆

I should also point out that Darren had to clean the files up as they were, err a bit fooked! Plus he produced that third headstock template as well as the idea for it came after the files were done. ...

Looking good @koendb! How did you keep the cauls from slipping around on the body while gluing up? I forgot to include a photo of my headstock templates. I also had a Hamer style control cavity done. ...

Nice @koendb! I’m a huge fan of the V and will be making some soon (hopefully!) I also really like dark fretboards so that would be my choice. crazyparts.de is a cool store, they are the right place f...

That Matt chap actually says "pratice on scrap" but then he's a double foreigner so we've learned to accept his dodgy spellings. @tv101 Some people say “Practice makes perfect.” Bah, I say “Pratice o...

@dsari Hello and welcome to the forum Daniel! The average body blank is what, 35/37mm wide? Finding someone with a saw that has that much depth of cut will be no easy task as that would be an absolute...

Haha @jonhodgson, here’s a rather non sexy photo of mine... not like @boo... his photo so sexy, me so jealous! Attachment : image.jpeg

So what’s your plan for this repair @tej? Glue on one veneer then drill out the four tuner holes and then repeat?

Good job @boo, putting that No-More-Sloppy-Neck-Pocket-O-Matic to the test! 😉

That’s a pretty sweet gift for your friend @marcel, great job on the guitar!

@tej This one’s not too bad either 😉

Start here @tej

Good choice on the tuners @boo, I love locking tuners and the low profile posts are a big reason why. 👍
