@steveh Trussrod fully tight and still bowing forward? You could try adding a bit of physical pressure to pull the neck back and see if the trussrod will turn more. Or, you could somehow pull down...

@markbailey learnt to carve the top and got inspired to do the heel from one of your lives where you did that carve top with an amber burst.

@russ I'm all about the superstrat myself but it's nice to build variety.

@liebe depends on whether it's glued or bolted, I like bolted pretty snug if possible but glue in needs room for the glue and to tight can cause real issues. Don't want a lot of side to side slop but ...

Thought I'd started a thread on this one but can't find it so maybe not lol. Anyway, latest build is now done. Brazillian mahogany with ash, ebony board and gotoh hardware. Went with ivory cream bin...

@liebe Radian tools sell a planer bit to use with a router sled, it's excellent. Just take small bites. A thickness planer or planer table is a lot more likely to take chips out of figured wood. As...

@liebe make yourself a cheap router sled, I recently did that with a piece of contiboard and a couple of rails. Great for getting things straight. Then I'll stick it through my thickness planer to get...

For gluing it's better rough so 80 is good. I think the join disappears more and also glue gets a better hold, gets right into the fibres instead of floating on the surface.

Flat, no light showing through. And yeh it can be a pain in the muffler prepping wood but it has to be done. Handplane, sanding, router and straight edge etc

Well this turned out nice, sounds great, plays great but I'll probably get a green arm at some point lol Final video will be up in a day or two on my youtube, NSJGuitars Attachment : SquarePic...

And a bit more, tops glued on, edges filed and sanded over and my tele neck pickup ring finally arrived. Also copper on headstock and logo on trussrod cover. Drilled the temp screw holes I used to hol...

As usual it's all on my youtube including the cheek clenching latest episode lol

@liebe it'll either be extra quiet or extra noisy lol

After recently getting an all new heating system installed I ended up with the old copper tank from the attic and had a crazy thought. What about making a guitar from it? First things first I cut the ...

@russ cheers, wait and see my next build lol!

@bjarni hi and welcome. There's quite a lot on the youtube channel too under the live heading. Mark did a fair bit of streaming when covid was on the loose. He shows doing a complete build amongst oth...
