I think your thinking way to much about this lol. Guitars are crude in terms of accuracy hence why some crazy people make them with weird wavy microtonal frets. It's free too, the idea is you print ...

Just thought I'd pop this in here for anyine looking, this place you can sort your layout then print it as a pdf template. Friend uses it for multiscale Other thing he uses is fretcalc android ap...

Finally got the first coat of finish on the body, and added my mates logo to the back of the headstock. Chris Mckean Music Attachment : 20231218_015537 (1).jpg Attachment : 20231212_151430....

@liebe I went to deep once, measured from the lip for the cover rather than the back of the guitar lol. I used the template to draw the shape on a piece of wood, cut it etc then glued it in and the...

@rathius yeh I've been using those, I do a shallow recess in the top for them to push into so the nob can still sit flush at body height. But I wire all that point to point then just hook up the pi...

@tyreman what category did you do? I did the community but finished about 3 guitars ago lol Good job on the build, is there a sound demo coming up?

@markbailey I got the neje 3 plus myself, makes a lovely logo. Can do more but I've not put the effort in yet lol Attachment : 20230703_161428-01.jpeg I run mine at lower power then do multip...

@rathius for joining wires but you're connecting wires to tabs, back of pots, side of switches etc. I'd use them to fix a car though lol

@usadave Mark has loads of vids under the live tab, not quite the same but tons of brilliant info in them. I use his neck carving method which takes a fraction of the time and also learnt how to do a ...

@USADave show us the bridge and also what scale you're planning. For instance using a T.O.M type bridge with a 24.75 scale I find 630mm to be the sweet spot for the initial scale line then add 3mm f...

I keep my wood etc in the house, I take whatever I'm working on out to the shed, do what's what then it comes back in the house. I glue up in the shed then into the house it goes. Shed door is general...

@rocknroller912 The solder flows lovely on the pots I've used so far and you'd have to file it off to remove it! 🤣 The only thing I can struggle with is the spring claw using a trem, they n...

@markbailey they're pretty cheap these days but great for a logo etc. People cut out their own templates and all sorts but logo is as far as I've got lol

@rocknroller912 I've seen people mentioning scuffing/sanding pots to solder but I've never found the need, do some come with a weird coating or something?

@markbailey lol it is shit isn't it! Lead free for a problematic life! @cafebrouge if you're on FB there's some not bad groups, UK Amateur Guitar Builder and Luthiers Club are a couple. For the...

@rathius what happened with the necks? I used some yew up the middle of my latest but I'm starting to think it wasn't dry enough, ended up proper bowed lol. Anyway I'm using good old brazillian maho...

So we finally decided to copy the switch location like his musicman JP6 guitar which works out nicely. I thought it'd be in the way but it isn't. I drilled from the front with a 3mm bit, then used a 3...

@boo Use a forstner bit to bury the heads in the bench. But yeh, that things a bit of a beast lol
