@nsj That’s great Neil, sounds awesome!! Have a great Christmas and New Year 😃👍🎸

Nice one, Cheers @nsj  How do walnut and cherry work out weight wise in comparison to say khaya mahogany or limba?  I get that it can depend on the blank, but interested in your thoughts. I’ve kinda already discounted oak…   Read more»

Fantastic! Neil. Really enjoyed watching this unfold. I’ve never heard a Ike played or sound like that before. Brilliant!
🙂🎵🎸🙏

@nsj
Enjoyed watching this, Neil. Good to see how things can be adapted rather than building from scratch. 🙌

@nsj nice guitar

@nsj lovely. I don’t think there was, but just in case there was any misunderstanding, my comment was based on my mixed results with flattening with a router sled not any suggestion you were doing it ‘wrong’. I didn’t think…   Read more»

Lovely work @nsj!
I wouldn’t have thought the tiger router would have left the body surface flat enough for gluing on a top, but good to know!

@nsj Thanks Neil, Yeah the neck wood is some kind of “mahogany “ and my best guess is Gabon mahogany (okoume) but not at all sure.👍😃🎸

@nsj Great work as usual Neil.  I must build a bass soon. My last customer was very happy with his Tele guitar, he’ll want a bass to go with it (he is a bass player after all).  I love the…   Read more»

@nsj nice work, very clean! 
I’ve got to ask, where do you get Brazilian mahogany?

@nsj  1 year per inch thick for drying is what I understand Oh well, thats going to take a while then. I did say its going to be a long term project. Meanwhile, I’ve got a nice bit of mahogany…   Read more»

@nsj that’s good to know. I’m looking to make the next build a laminated neck with ash and mahogany now, also temping to throw something else into the mix. I’ve seen many examples of people using thin strips of something…   Read more»

@nsj I used Eze Oil from David Dyke Luthier Supplies. Works very well.

@nsj 😆😆😆😆😆😆 That’s one way around it I suppose.

@nsj Yeah, I probably would have got it more accurate in the first place but I had already drilled the holes for a standard neck plate and fitted the neck. I then changed my mind and went with the ferrules…   Read more»

@nsj Yeah I realise a dremmel would be perfect for the job but I don’t have one. 😆 It’s probably about time I got one. The idea of sandpaper around a socket was just to solve the problem with what…   Read more»

@nsj That is good news, can’t wait to try it now. Cheers. 👍
