Hi Peebee body shape is the tough bit, well after the headstock of course Thats the headstock designed now. Attachment : 20201217_175358.jpg

@Peebee Are you actually going to turn this into a guitar? Get it done, there's nothing wrong with an old bit of pine. The huge knot in mine is now a feature.

Ok, I’m bored with band-sawing now!! 95 chair backs later I’ve had enough! I know they’re not guitars, but if I’ve been a bit quiet in the forums over the past week or two here’s one of the reasons wh...

It’s about 4 pieces of scrap pine dug out of the shed glued together. @peebee Nothing wrong with that. As far as the knot is concerned, you could reinforce it with epoxy.

Nice work ! Goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune on wood to have excatly the same amount of fun ? Where did you get the offset heel plate? Maybe you could have carved the heel of the n...

This project started off as a bit of a joke to see how cheaply I could make an electric guitar but it’s actually turned out well. The body is made from reclaimed pallets and I cheated with the neck a...

So for my 2nd home build i thought i'd try some binding and purfling, but didn't want to fork out for a bending iron. Turns out my wife's curling tongs are just the job and cost me nothing - other tha...

@peebee Thanks, yes I like to have the integrity of the ash body stand out with the pink. It shimmers with the open grain and not look like a novelty per say. Ties in with the dyed and lacquered maple...
