These look absolutely fabulous Dan @liebe I love the finish you get on them. I have persisted with Spray on Nitro up to now with varying degrees of success but think I will give this a try. Do you hav...

Hello people of the guitar world. I haven't posted for quite some time now but thought I would update you on my journey since being bitten by the guitar makers bug and hitting a milestone in guitar bu...

Thank you all for your comments. @tv101 @russ @koendb I will try to condense the build. I do keep pictures of the builds but there are a lot. I have sold all but the first acoustic guitar so far. No...

I started on Mark's Build your own Acoustic course in May 2018. Loved every minute of it and can highly recommend him as a teacher of Luthiery. completed the acoustic and Electric courses over the nex...

Great to see people back in the workshop again. I will have to sort a trip out to Ayr from the Isle of man and maybe get in a hollow body course. 😉

@norriemac Nice work. There is a great amount of satisfaction when you finish your first build and an acoustic as well.

Hey (@russ) You gave me an idea. I have a facebook account for the MJC Guitars IOM and I've copied the link from there. Lets see if that works as well. "https://fb.watch/d7pz1bH0e5/"

Thanks (@russ) Can't seem to get the video file below the 128Mb limit to be able to post. Anyone got any help on that. Have seen a few videos posted.

Thanks @koendb. All down to Marks' courses and patience starting me on the journey.

Hello from the Isle of Man. The good news.... I actually sold one of my acoustic builds. (can I call myself a luthier now 😆) The bad news..... The guy has had it a month and a friend has scrat...

Thanks for the quick reply @darrenking I thought as much so will need some more bracing pieces then 🙂 Hope all is well with you Mike

I have acquired a really beautiful exotic ebony back and side set. Just joined the back and all is good but it came in 4 pieces. My question is do you need to use three centre seam strips ? One for ea...

I have bought billets and purflings among other bits from David Dyke at Good quality and very helpful staff.

Mark suggests on his videos that you use sanding sealer before cutting out the rosette, as it helps stop any tear out. You just rag it on around the area you are cutting the rosette out As well as new...

Great video @steveadams Glad to see you're having fun even at a stressful bit of making an acoustic.

Wow, fantastic looking acoustic @bpower . Love the contrast of the Paduk with the maple neck. Well done.

@peebee Spot on with your last comment I think that's the way round for the future. I have a PRS custom 22 fret template that I have had to shim the neck sides with .35mm cuts. I cut a slice from the ...

🤣 🤣 New design coming up then @eddie6string
