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...

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...

@somethingnicer Most of that will be removed when carving the neck too so don't worry to much. I doubt anyone will ever notice once the build is finished.

Bit more progress, bridge fitted, pickup and control cavities done, headstock done and control cavity cover. Attachment : 20240411_145816.jpg Attachment : 1000028878-01.jpg Attachme...

Got the neck pocket sorted, managede to rout a small angle in it too so I can keep the fretboard lower while still having enough height at the bridge. Also shaped the body at the pocket. Going to knoc...

Got the fret markers in, frets and side dots. Only then did I realise I'd put markers on the 25th fret instead of the 24th lol. I knew something was off when I was doing it too. Anyway I got on and ...

I've finally got myself back out to my shed too, also building a bass. Since we've had the heating installed I'm more reluctant to go out to the shed in crap weather lol

Started another bass guitar, friends kid bought the last one so I need another, obviously lol Brazillian mahogany with yew and resin top. Neck is maple with brazillian mahogany up the centre and som...

@somethingnicer I think that'll just be for the fatter end part, the main part of the rod will be a 1/4 inch. Personally I use a 1/4 inch for the full length including acces then I go over the thicker...

@brie if you're on a low enough income you can even get most of it done for free. Think it's somewhere about £19500 per year or that. Ours was all free, insulation, vaillant pump and solar. New modern...

@rathius sorry buddy, been busy and not on the forum but yes, super easy. Just rout the truss rod like usual but out the other end. Skunk stripe for one piece necks, fit the rod in from the rear. Mar...
