Hi Everyone, Just wanted to post my second guitar. Finished it up and gave it to a friend. Could not have done it without Mark's courses and the advice from the community. On to #3... (Hopefully I'l...

I’m sorry guys, I’m just terrible at documenting my builds. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I’ve gotten to the point of working on the finish for this one. Started working on the front on ...

Explorer bodies take a lot of wood! Given that I’ve never made a body with rout for a trem system, FR or otherwise, I guessed that the chances of me making a horlicks of it are quite high, so I though...

ok, so again I’ve proved myself rubbish at showing what I’m up to - it’s a personality trait that I’m working on, please bear with me. I’ve already started this project, so there will be some quick up...

@nsj gorgeous!

@nsj Very close! Nice job. Really enjoying watching this build Neil. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

@nsj Yes, 630mm and 633mm is exactly what I did. Worked very well.

Finally (almost) done. I still have to make a little cover plate for the truss rod and maybe adjust the slots in the nut a tiny bit. American walnut top, bosse cedar body and neck and some white venee...

@nsj That one looks great!
