@poco7 Congrats on getting a workshop. Certainly makes things more easy and fun.
If your fretting hand is the problematic one, you can always play a little slide. 🙂 

Take care @poco7

@poco7 It was not from a plan. I actually just used the radius template that I made on the course and copied the arch on the long rails. I just cobbled the rest of the jig together from scraps. As…   Read more»

@poco7  Are you thinking maybe removing the fretboard and building up the neck? like a taper? From your descriptions, my first thought was to remove the fretboard board and raise it up. I hadn’t considered a taper, as @boo says,…   Read more»

@poco7 I’d love to help you out if at all possible but I have no experience with resonators or slide guitars yet. I’m also a visual learner so I must be able to see what the problem is, I don’t…   Read more»

@poco7 sounds like the neck angle is the problem. Can you re set it

@poco7 
thanks for these tips 

@poco7  I’m at a loss here for ideas..if i sand and lower the saddle, i’ll have NO break angle to the tail piece and fighting buzzing on the cover Rather than lowering the saddle, is there any possible/practical way of…   Read more»

@poco7  Thanks I was concerned about how much the cone will drop and I’ve read there are variations in quality. Did you buy your cone in America ? I’m looking for a high action for lap steel and don’t want…   Read more»

@poco7  Thanks for posting this. I’ve been asked to make a lap steel acoustic and am thinking of doing a conversion similar to yours, only fitting a new top to an existing body and not have the old sound hole…   Read more»

@poco7 You are going for a classic body shape so I’m sure it will be a great looking guitar. My guitar is not strictly a hollow body, it is mostly weight relief, but why not include a f-hole anyway? 🙂 …   Read more»

@poco7 Here is a picture of my builds. The one on the left was built first and the other one was completed just a few weeks ago. Both of them had some minor mishaps during the process, but that’s how…   Read more»

@poco7  I am a newbie in guitarbuilding. I have built two electric guitars the last year, guided by Marks courses. I worked in IT for the last 25 years and retired (early) recently after a reorganisation which left me with…   Read more»

Thank you! One more fun project to put on my bucket list.

@poco7
Good to hear that your surgery was successful and I hope you heal quickly.

@poco7  I made a new comment listed under my name  [leaderboard list]- on the sidebar, in which i lament on not remembering how to create a topic and/or add pix? is there an instruction link somewhere that you know of?…   Read more»

@poco7  that actually looks amazing, that’s going to have to be included on my ‘to do’  list..i’ll bet it plays as well as it looks. Thanks, and it does play well. I had a friend over yesterday, his playing made…   Read more»

Posted by: @poco7 how did you achieve the stripes look..the deeper stain of blue? Firstly, *I* didn’t make this guitar – it’s my (very special) built-by-genius-Bailey special. 😉 But I’ve done similar effects on other guitars, and it’s quite easy….   Read more»

Posted by: @poco7 i was trying to decide how to color my first build..this will be what I’m going for  I’ll add some photos tomorrow showing the various stages of achieving that finished colour.  It started out very blue!  The…   Read more»
