@poco7 i think i have to start over with a new neck? unless Tight Bond will adhere a piece added to the underside so strong that i can salvage this by adding to the neck then carving? Personally, I ...

Having been inspired by seeing Mark's modified fret slot cutting table saw I am going to have a go at building my own. Miguel at my favorite saw blade supplier (NLS - North London Saw) has found me a ...

Posted by: @poco7 I can't imagine the learning curve on painting, i think making it to that stage is fun - challenging, a learning curve as well...buta good finishing - ScArY !**%$??! @poco7 It just...

@poco7 to use Titebond REGULAR [ 1 ] glue, or TITEBOND [#2] or Premium [#3] FOR GLUING MY FRETBOARD ONTO THE NECK. I'm fairly sure that @markbailey used Titebond #1 for the fretboard in the online ...

@poco7 Mark uses Titebond original the yellow one. I don’t use it though I prefer water based hot glue for anything that I might want to take off for any reason.

Posted by: @poco7 Titebond REGULAR [ 1 ] glue @poco7 Yes, just use Titebond Original for everything. Don’t get too hung up on types of glue, most of it isn’t needed for guitar building. There is rea...

@rathius Scottish country side is cold wet and miserable and that’s in the summer It’s not that bad. Stop it! Our Scottish weather really isn't that bad, we had a great summer last year, I think it...

Posted by: @poco7 @rathius I hid her rifle ! Yikes... A very important first step in the building process 😂

Posted by: @rathius I’m quite jealous of you guys that get to just “walk up” to Mark’s shop for a visit. I’ll have to build and sell several before I get to experience the Scottish countryside. @rat...

@poco7 that’s a great looking design - impressed you’re set up to build it at home. Lots of great support on here - inspiring me to build the design I did with Mark last week!

Welcome to the forum @roddy, you’ll love it here! That shot of you at the bench is great, it’s a view the rest of us haven’t seen for quite a while as Mark hasn’t been doing vids for some time now. Pe...

Posted by: @poco7 I'm working on a kinda-sorta Gibson Les Paul style for my FIRST build. @poco7 Looking good there man, nice work. 👍

Question for @markbailey please Have you seen this cracking paint effect before on a guitar? I think you probably will have. A friend of mine has painted a guitar and when he has hammered the bridge...

Posted by: @russ 😂🎸🎶🙏 @russ That meeting may not end on a good note. Maybe they should scale it back a bit. 😉

Stuck in the house after tripping over a pot hole and injuring my hand and found this . Decided it’s my next song to learn now that live music has started again.

To clarify, I bought (from StewMac) medium/high fret wire as opposed to medium/medium. This means that not only is the crown higher but also the tang is longer.

@wayne_f I would agree with @tej there, it looks like the ends are in, so the slot must be deep enough. I'm assuming that you're hammering them in and not pressing them. If you're hammering while su...

Here's an overdue progress update video:

Looks good @wayne_f. On the next fillet just get it close but not fitting in the slot. Then sand it to the final thickness with a sanding block to get the snug fit you want.
