@Robin, I think you’re right as the distance to the 24th fret from the nut is 476.252mm so close to 480mm. My kit is a 22 fret, so 457mm, just checked again as doubt briefly crept in. Its worth notin...

Well got there, this is the most difficult jig of the lot! 43mm at the nut then I measured 56mm at the last fret. This is where I strayed from the on line course, Mark says 480mm between them on his v...

Can’t wait. Happy New year, got one of your kits from Santa, making a neck taper jig at the min.

Neck taper template making today and still IT support for home schooling! Attachment : 9F466C84-E230-4169-92E2-FE71C2685919.jpeg

@Boo I am just about to make a neck taper jig, watching the course I cannot get how the Fret board is 480mm for a 22 fret 25 inch scale. I have a nut of 42mm and a width of 55.5 ish at the 22nd fret b...

Welcome and yes please to some pics.

Simple Minds 1987 or 88 can’t remember now. Best one Guns and Roses at Wembley, Soundgarden supported, not long after Freddy Mercury had died and during the gig they did a Queen set.

Had to play IT support today for my lads first day back at school, remote learning and all that, so not much done. But sat in the kitchen and made a humbucker template from mdf, so not a total loss. C...

TV it has wheels on oneside of the bottom frame so you can tip it up and pull it. I believe you can buy a wheeled frame for it. However, I rarely have to move it to be honest so its fine but just gett...

So far the saw is a treat, bloody heavy though! Seems easy to set up and the blades are easy to change, I would say it’s the best quality tool I own. There are also some good support videos on YouTube...

Slight alteration, I have changed the pick ups to Humbuckers as these came in the Bailey kit. Trial fit of components on the drawing....all seems to fit. 2nd build will be P90s. Attachment : 604E5...

Thanks, no more progress to report, although I did get a Bailey kit and a Bagpress fret slotting jig from Santa, no excuses now. Bandsaw is a Record BS300

That is a lovely Guitar, I really like dark woods and that is a beaut, a nice touch with the wooden control cavity cover, it always bugs me to have plastic ones! Merry Christmas.

Nothing wrong with that. As far as the knot is concerned, you could reinforce it with epoxy. Could do, I’ll get stuck into the Bailey kit after Christmas and poss make this into guitar number 2. It ...

Thanks Boo, it came out ok. I’m not sure it’ll work as a real body as there is a whacking great knot in the neck pocket, but I might give it a go. It’s about 4 pieces of scrap pine dug out of the shed...

The practice belly carve, came out ok, thanks to Mark for showing the method. Attachment : 20201217_102140.jpg Attachment : 20201217_103344.jpg Attachment : 20201217_111717.jpg

Looks good Robin, body shape is the tough bit, well after the headstock of course! And I’m only guitar number 1.

Had a go at a belly carve today on a scrap wood tele body that I have made as practice. Turned out pretty well, draw two lines, make two facets and join em up...simples. I will add a picture tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to me, can't open it until the big day though! Thanks Mark and Carol for getting this posted out nice and quickly, excellent service. Attachment : 20201216_123942.jpg

Looks great, yes do a short video.
