@Clinton, thanks for the reply and the offer, that would be kind....but don't bust a gut if you cannot find it. Nice work on your guitar there and the templates and plans for the Les Paul look in orde...

At last some progress today. Decorating had taken over but that is done now so back to the geet. My first proper carve, fretting and fitting of inlays / side dots. On the whole it went well, no major ...

I'm sure many of you have seen this channel, but it seems fairly recent and looks to be a pretty in depth look at building an archtop guitar from Ken Parker, for this that haven't here's a link.

Best wishes Mark and Carol.

Thanks TV and Boo, yep beer garden gets some use - all welcome once the lockdown ends! Garden is getting there, a new path and Pergola on the to do list for this year.

Well the Kitchen is nearly done, moved onto the dining room now, all joined together so cant do one without the other. @tv101 - Tea and biscuits is what we get at work if we've screwed up! Here's a p...

More kitchen today. Yep you're right the resources that have become available over the last few years make well anything much easier to research and get into. In my twenties I tried to play guitar, we...

Been decorating the house this last week, keep going into the garage for tools etc and seeing my first build in progress, waiting for me to get back to it .....need to get on with it but another week ...

Very nice and well done Blake.

I do like a thinline and that looks great, well done.

Thanks Mark, I meant solely for a set neck. I have seen a number of people (on YouTube) that put the angle on the top of the body ( forward of say the rear of the neck humbucker), usually planed, and ...

Celebration Day was one of the best concerts ever, the DVD sends shivers, I was in the lottery but alas never got tickets to go, Kashmir from that Gig has to be one of the best performances of any ban...

My question is why do some makers put an angle onto the front of the body for the neck angle and here at Bailey Mark puts the angle on the heel?

I'm in the UK, Northamptonshire, by the way. Don't know how to pass on address? My email is Peebee0019@googlemail.com

@Rocknroller912 paper is fine by me.

@Rocknroller912, I am going to leave the router mistake, its not full depth so wont make much difference really, just annoying. Thanks for the offer of paper templates, that would be great, let me kno...

That is a nice build and a great finish, nice job.

Here are a couple more progress pics. There's a good shot here of the router mishap! Attachment : IMG_0022.JPG Attachment : IMG_0024.JPG Attachment : IMG_0023.JPG

Thanks @Rocknroller912, yeah that would be great, be keen to see your progress and pick your brain as it progresses. I am unsure yet whether to make this my next build or have another go at the one I'...
