@darrenking up until I got my vac press it was only flat guitars. I’ve done 2 with my vac press since I got it and I still had some bubbling in a couple of places with both. Was using Titebond III whi...

@boo Dude, that’s wildly beautiful

@brie First off, thank you for finding and sharing this. Great info. I actually bought a 1/2 gallon of Unibond 800 w/hardener AND a 1.5 lb pack of Unibond Blocker. Figured since I still have several v...

@brie thanks dude, much appreciated. However, I’ve decided to not use veneers anymore after I use up the remaining veneer (6 I think) or sell them. Instead I’m moving to drop tops and carve tops. Much...

@brie thanks dude. not finished carving yet though. Still have the neck joint area to finish off. Since my 2nd build all have had blended neck joints so there’s no step from neck to body. That part wi...

@liebe what you’ll find in the video is you need the wood of the body to extend beyond the body so the heel of the neck is covered by the extension of the body wood under the neck joint. You then carv...

Mark did a video showing how to do the neck joint like you’re referring to. It’s on the guitar making YouTube channel.

So I’ve had a problem a couple of times now with glueing on veneers and I’m not sure what’s happening. These were all done before I got my vacuum press. The problem arises when it’s time to start the ...

Painting the whole guitar a solid color? Easiest & simplest paint job you’ll ever do. If you are using an open grain wood yes use a grain/wood filler. However for solid colors on any wood I’ll use...

@liebe I like creating my own designs instead of making copies of all the generic guitars on the market. It’s a lot more fun and keeps things way more interesting. Plus when someone wants you to make ...

So thought I should update this and show y’all the pics I’ve taken since I began this build. The guy will be picking it up on July 4th around Noon EDT. Afterwards he will draw the winner for this year...

Here in the U.S. it’s commonly found in auto parts stores like Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc. It is acrylic lacquer. Be careful if you warm the can, even in warm water. The tip will leak around the pin...

I have several bookmatched veneer that were already glued together when I bought them. I’ve used some on the flat top electrics I’ve built but now I’m ready to give a guitar a carved top similar to a ...
