@koendb I think I did check them when I got them but I can’t find a note of the rest so I’ll check that for sure. @robin if the resistance is fine I’ll do that however I read a few…   Read more»

@tej Some sound advice from @robin Maybe also a good idea to measure the DC resistance on that neck pickup. Could be a defect in the pickup too

@robin Thanks for the heads up, I checked everything over after installing the electronics and couldn’t see anything like that. I’ll check with the jack plug in though as I didn’t think to check that.

@wayne_f, @koendb, @robin, @boo, @Bpower Well, I’m enjoying the fact that you are working ahead of me..lol, it gives me some extra confidence to know that as we go, we hit little hiccups – like filling in a routered headstock…   Read more»

@robin Well, “hardest” meaning the most strenuous. I know there are still plenty of opportunities to screw it up haha.

@robin
That gouge looks like it was used by an Egyptian brain surgeon 

@robin thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately the glue is in the grain a little too so I’m not convinced either will actually work, why I didn’t mask it before glueing is beyond me 😔

@robin Thanks for passing the idea on though, it’s one to bear in mind for the future. 👍

@robin Nice work there Robin, thanks for the suggestion, it’s one option. 👍

Be as rude as you like @boo , can’t hide from being old, start collecting my state pension next year.

You could then get a cheap season ticket @robin. 🤣⚽ 
🙏🎸🙂🎶

Its a long time since I was at the football though, Alex Ferguson was still playing for them then. @robin I could crack an obvious joke about age here but I wouldn’t be so rude to you Robin. 🤣

Yes @russ  I’m a Falkirk Bairn. Its a long time since I was at the football though, Alex Ferguson was still playing for them then. We’re not quite hitting those heights now @robin. Trying to keep the faith. 🤞⚽  🙂🎸🙏🎶

I’m not so far away, I’m not in Fife, you’re maybe thinking Falkland. I’m just up the road from Grangemouth. I never intended to actually build a guitar either, started cutting wood for my third one now, its addictive @robin….   Read more»

Top job@robin, that came out great! I really like the offset shape and neck joint, the color looks fab as well! How does it play and sound? Thanks @mattbeels  its sounding good, but no guitar is going to sound great with…   Read more»

Very sorry for your loss @boo… how’s your wife holding up?

@robin Some factory instruments from 30 years or longer ago have this type of swirl from circular sanding or polishing that can be seen by moving around under a light. You could think of it as stage 1 relic finish…   Read more»

She really is a beauty @robin, thanks for sharing as it’s always so inspiring to see what everyone else is up to.

@robin I was planning on doing an oil finish. 

@mattbeels  thanks for sharing that one, a customer, jeez the idea makes my blood go cold.
 
@robin oh there’s been so many lessons 🤣 still it definitely feels better than it did yesterday.
