@nortski I think it's just the way he builds guitars, there's also a lot of info to try and make into a course so bound to be the odd thing here and there.

Started the finishing Attachment : 20231102_143452 (1).jpg Attachment : 20231102_143458.jpg

@nortski I think there's a bit of confusion here, basically if you look at say a les paul or prs they have the nut at the end of the fretboard. I think Mark calls a bolt on like a fender style neck wh...

Got the comfort carves done today. I had a go with the grinder and sanding disc on the arm carve but gave that up and went back to good old hand tools. Attachment : 1000028878-01.jpeg Atta...

@steveh well I can blame it on age at least lol

@steveh I place the claw against the back of the spring cavity and move it about until I'm happy it's centred then go round in the holes with a pencil or that. Remove the claw and centre punch the cen...

Today was a little tidy here and there and then onto bridge fitting, pickup routing, control cavity and wire holes. I set the depth stop on my drill press to about 20mm and drilled the corners then ro...

Got the frets levelled, crowned and polished today then glued on the wings. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the top glued on at some point. This was one of my best fret jobs, hardly any levelling needed ...

@brie St Cyrus! That was it. Gourdon is past johnshaven. I was trying to remember them in order going from Montrose lol. Bought my first electric from a guy in St Cyrus, he played the cult lil devil o...

@swepri A40640 module, do fancy doing other stuff but that means making the effort to learn and I'm not always good at that lol I've seen guys on guitar building fb groups doing all sorts

@brie Maybe Gourdon, Johnshaven or Bervie. Got cousins up that way.

@brie I glue up in my shed but then bring it in because it's slightly warmer and at some point there will be heating on, so which ever room is warm is where I'll put it which maybe the living room lol

@brie About 20 miles from Dundee heading towards Glenisla

@swepri neje 3 plus, got it off ebay. I seen a friend using it on his youtube and asked what he was using, he had the 2 plus but it wasn't available so I got the 3 plus. It's bigger than his so I can ...
