@robin I've got to ask, where did you find these weirdo pots? 🤣 I generally stick with alpha and cts for the most part as I can get both in metric which means an 8mm shaft, the metal nobs I...

@swepri every pot for guitar I ever see is either china, japan or usa made anyway, can't say I've ever seen a european pot. Seen reference to vintage pots using a C though lol

@robin how sure are you? It's how they sound that I notice them. Audio taper sounds gradual, Linear sounds like a switch lol. Every A and B pot I've used has sounded as it should.

@swepri never seen that yet, I've used all sorts and every A has been audio taper and every B has been linear. Are you sure about the US Euro thing?

@tv101 meh, worst case I'll make a new neck, I like making them lol

@tv101 do you believe carbon rods actually do anything? That somehow they'll stop a neck from twisting if it wants to? Personally I think it's a fad to sell us guitar people more stuff we don't need l...

Yeh what Mark says, I do all the routing while the body is flat then carve after. Whether actual carve top or just doing arm and belly carves.

If the neck is parallel, the bottom of the fretboard is usually about 2mm or so higher than the top of the body. With this one I wanted the fretboard at body height so I had to do a slight angle but n...

Just buy 10mm acrylic off ebay and make a bigger base, works great. I've done both my trim routers and one I can clamp upside down for doing small jobs. I have the same template set too, used it a few...

@tej Ash makes a beautiful neck, done a few myself with zero issues but I always do a volute which may or may not help. Northern/european ash. It's the denser , heavier hard one. Southern ash aka swam...

Grab a gotoh nut, they're cheap but superb, front or rear mount and you can get a 43mm. Still keep most of the width that way. Might be an easier option because you could sand most of the extra away t...

@boo I've sold 5 but still have a few kicking about lol Attachment : 20230914_133017.jpg Attachment : 20230914_133025.jpg Attachment : 20230914_133028.jpg Attachment : 20230...

And finished, more or less lol. Just got to do a bit more setting up, intonation, string height etc. Attachment : 20230913_165137.jpg Attachment : 20230913_165156.jpg

I was thinking of doing a bass next, haven't done one yet.

@robin sounds like the switch is dirty, before pulling apart try some violent switching or switch cleaner then some violent switching. Bad switch is the only thing that makes sense otherwise the neck ...

@tv101 just cut teeth in a piece of the tubing and use it to cut all the marker holes. It's on my todo list, my HUGE todo list lol

I decided to tackle the first oak top carve top I did, fret markers were wonky and I didn't think they looked particularly good. Also the body could've been sanded better. I'd already stripped it to u...

Modify it, I do it all the time. I'm never aiming for an exact shape, just similar lol

Getting near the finish now, just the electronics to fit then a few set up tweaks Attachment : 20230907_162513.jpg Attachment : 20230907_175447.jpg

Frets all levelled, crowned and polished and logo done Attachment : 20230902_172625.jpg Attachment : 20230902_172558.jpg Also trying out ebonising, you put 0000 wire wool in a jar wi...
