So the last 4 or 5 weeks have been absolutely crazy. I mean it. I’m just in a daze and going with the flow. But yeah holy shit. Already told y’all about the Black Stone Cherry guitar signing and raffl...

Attachment : IMG_0825.mov @nsj oh I need to show you fret 24. I did it with a dremel on a plunge base with edge guide against the end of the fretboard. Made a little mess but what the hell. It’s t...

@nsj as for a full on fretboard, uhm you mean the dots or artwork, like a dragon, roses, etc? something I had considered was starting with 2 pieces of abalone shell as fretboard marker inlay. I have s...

@nsj That gives it more of a wood burning look doesn’t it. Not very deep at all just darken the logo. Cool, cool, cool. That would be an easy way of differentiating between say model A-1 and model A-...

@robin that’s exactly how I’m doing it. Using the engraver I run 3 passes at 80% power and 90% carving speed. I then took fine MOP pressed it in, lightly dusted around the area with a small art brush,...

Attachment : IMG_0832.jpeg Finally got a laser engraver. Took almost 2 1/2 years to arrive. Yeah, got lost in the pandemic, well the paperwork did. Kickstarter project, I paid for it about 3 years...

@brie thanks dude. And yeah, I’m still trying to walk upright. Took me a few days to pick myself up off the floor too. And I’ve ended up with someone ordering a finished Tele body, Don Rich style. Tol...

The Raffle is LIVE!!!! Attachment : IMG_0714.jpeg

Me too. I’ll let y’all know when the raffle goes live. Waiting for the hospital in Glasgow, KY to launch the marketing for it. I hope it raises a ton of money for them. I know it would be because of B...

@robin yeah Glasgow is their last stop this tour. They wanted to come back over to y’all and do a smaller venue tour just for a short 3 week jaunt around the British isles. Dublin last night I think. ...

Oh yeah something else. I asked if they might take some of my guitars with them on tour some time they said yeah! Another thing I want to thank Mark for is the lesson towards the end of the electric ...

yep, and “over the moon” has been my exact words to others. 🤣

@robin thanks dude much appreciated

I knew the 335 was made like that but thought the 175 was a routed out solid body. Sorry my mistake.

@nsj awesome thanks

How thick are the sides of a es175? Or any semi-hollow that’s had its innards routed out?

@nsj duuuuuuude!!!! I have been trying to think of a better way than my scroll saw to do that. What speed do you run it on when cutting the covers? Plastic I assume or are you making wooden covers?

@nsj I’m trying to determine the need before the neck is glued in AND before carving the top while the blank is still flat. Also before glueing a veneer on the top. I know if I do that I’ll have to be...

@nsj so you’ve got a makeshift router table for small parts eh? Nice idea, I like it. 😁
