@mattbeels The Facebook group is called "Petalberds of Derm". It was a breakaway from "Pedalboards of Doom" as some members of that group could be a bit uptight. There's lots of gear talk obviously, b...

I'm a bit late to this conversation. I'd seen the thread title but never opened it. It's perfect timing though because it follows on from comments I made in today's livestream (Wed 3 Feb). I asked if ...

So I just came across this thread and have just read it from the start. I gotta say - This is an amazing and beautiful guitar Bill. Will we ever get to hear it?

I'm a bit peeved that I've not been able to watch live for the past two livestreams but I'm all caught up now. So right at the end of todays stream, Mark, you were holding a strip of wood above the tr...

@darrenking I think I'm closest to you so far - South Woodham Ferrers, Essex. Still about two hours away though.

@boo Those covers look amazing. I've previously wondered if I could paint open bobbins that I wished I could recolour. I'd be worried about wearing the paint away through playing.

@darrenking Bassists? That's low man, low. SMH. Sigh. 🙂

a LP Jr double cut, single P90 planned... just a rock and roll machine... Oh yes. I want one. I WILL have one. You have to work for the tone, but it's worth it. Pure overdriven sleaze. You have to w...

1. Build it at least 3x bigger than you think you’ll ever need. @tv101 I wish. I rent, so I'm lucky to be allowed to build one at all. Best I'll be able to do is around 7'*18'. Long and narrow. Has ...

Schaller tuners. Back in the day they were "THE" absolute best you could buy. However, recently I've been reading in various places that their quality has dropped considerably - uneven, sticky gearing...

I'm envious. Hoping to get started building a small workshop in my garden soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, great to be here! See you on the next livestream!

Oh wow, drummers are really getting beat up in this thread. Sorry, I'll get my coat.

They rarely get played - they're not very accessible - and I think of them as a collection rather than as playing guitars. @tv101 All of mine are working guitars and all get played. All except one we...

I've asked myself this question recently, and the answer is.. "I don't know, maybe, depends". As of today, I haven't built anything from scratch yet. so there are guitars out there I'm interested in. ...

Tried editing my post above to add another link but the forum's not letting me, so... The link to "Rag n Bone Brown" is when he first got his Mirka. Look at the one below though, it's from a general Q...

Really enjoyed the livestream earlier, can't wait for the next installment! So, lots of interest in the Mirka - me too. I've tried "palm" sanders before, but never really felt comfortable using them o...

Hi folks! Just a few words about myself...... I'm 60 (61 in a few days, but still 24 in my head) and live in a small village in South Essex (UK). Started playing guitar at 12, been singing ever since ...
