@nsj That is good news, can’t wait to try it now. Cheers. 👍

@boo Welcome. Usually with gibson scale I measure 630mm for scale line which is slightly longer, seems to work great.

@nsj That is perfect, exactly the info I was looking for. I was just going to try it anyway using a rough and ready quick build and see how things went. I’ll go for it now then. Cheers Neil 👍

@boo my ggbo build, the black limba neck through with binding etc. That's a 24.75 scale with floyd, works perfect. A lot of companies have been doing it for years. Post hole centres sit a 1/2 inch for...

@somethingnicer Here's what I did on my latest les paul type build. Attachment : SquarePic_20240613_16251884.jpg You can also slice off the lower half of the heel and glue a longer piece on, ...

Most of the time there are multiple ways to fix a problem, a lot of the time there is at least one way to fix a problem, and there is very little of the time where problems can’t be fixed. Robin’s su...

@robin awesome…. I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me!

@robin That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down?

@nsj thanks, both good suggestions, although I tightened the trussrod to the point of creaking alarmingly to get it not quite straight. i do have a means of setting the neck the way you described; I j...

@steveh Trussrod fully tight and still bowing forward? You could try adding a bit of physical pressure to pull the neck back and see if the trussrod will turn more. Or, you could somehow pull down...

@russ thanks Russ - this one was quite challenging as I was breaking a lot of new ground for me.

Ugh, here’s a thing. The frets aren’t quite level, so I decided to revisit that. I can’t quite get the neck flat, even with no string tension. With the Trussrod at its tightest, I have the slightest a...

@steveh Nice work Steve. Keep them coming. 🙏🎸🎶🙂

So, ladies and gents, I give you: „The Guitar that didn’t want to be Built“ as I know it affectionately Attachment : IMG_0043.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0044.jpeg Attachment : IMG_0045.jp...

@robin You know I had that thought, I guess it wouldn't be horrible. Just cut a small curve off the top and sand by hand. I'd love to not if possible, lol

@clinton looks great, fella! Good work on the binding. Where did you get the timber? Cheers Dan

That is beautiful @clinton

@jamesbisset Thanks James. That wee video does show the same way that I was shown. You certainly need a lot of patience and stamina to do it. Hope it all goes well. 🎶🎸🙂🙏...
