It’s a valid thought @russ and one I had had myself - ie giving them away to an organisation like that. But, I’d then spend another £300+ on replacement parts for the next build rather than recyclin...

Hi @tv101 Another way to recycle them is to give them to someone that could use them rather than demolishing them.😱 There's an organisation in Glasgow that gives free lessons and instruments ...

Looking good @igeorgebot.......and the guitars are not bad either. Nice work. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

Hi @malte-krausgmx-de As luck would have it I've just been doing a stress test for various glues. Both titebond and hide glue came out with virtually the same results. Titebond is an easier glue to us...

@malte-krausgmx-de. On all of my acoustic builds I've used white pva glue for the neck and bridge. It cleans up easily and if it ever needs to be removed it is decently worry free to do (ps.... I've h...

@steveadams Great to see you back Steve. It seems like yesterday since you were last here but for me the time has just flown by. Life has been so busy. Looking forward to seeing how you progress with ...

@steveadams. Well done steve. Great to see you back at it. An inlay to fix the gap on the heel will be neat to see. I've had that on all of my builds so far. I, like you, forgot about it while undercu...

@dave - apologies, I should also have said “welcome to the forum”! And show us what you’ve been building, we all like to see pics of others’ builds!

There a some decent sellers on eBay, though their prices aren’t always massively cheaper than the non-eBay specialists (David Dyke / Timberline). I’ve bought from feelgoodwood in the past; timber &...

Hello to all you guitar builders. I'm Dave from Sheffield been building guitars for the last 6 yrs. about to step up my game and have a go at building my 1st neck from scratch.. any advice on where to...

So far this neck weighs about 570g, still got to do the heel too Attachment : 20230108_023736.jpg Attachment : 20230108_023750.jpg

Ahhhh - I’ve never used anything other than fairly plain woods for necks, so never had that experience (thankfully!).

I can say this neck feels pretty light compared to a previous one made from the same wood not baked. I was mainly interested in the colour and stuff, heard plenty talk about it, thought I'd try it. ...

@robin … Steve’s post reminds me … how’s your build going?? 😆

Here's me-the-cynic ... Those are - mostly - relative advantages, ie improves, better, lighter, increases, more. So the question is relative to what? TBH, I've never had a problem with fret sprou...

I have reached the point where I have enough guitars. I know, I know, guitarists should never admit to having "enough" guitars, but I've said it now! I could even make a case for having too many - ss...

@tv101 Hello,and thank you. I built them both together. I figured if one went wrong I could keep on going with the other. 🤣 I like the feel of Coco Bolo over the Zebrano fretboard. The Zeb...

Congratulations @igeorgebot! That shape looks vaguely familiar ... 😉 How are they to play - any differences other than the pickups? Did you build both in parallel, or did one follow the othe...

I now have two new guitars. Yahoo! The online course works like a charm. Attachment : C7172952-64FF-467E-AECF-AC4F86AC7CFC.jpeg Attachment : 65D69668-2437-46FA-9AED-8E246001D280.jpeg

Damn that pesky @tv101 - he just can't leave well alone. Good to see you back Steve, and to see you getting back in the workshop. Time to cut off the heel overhang: 20 seconds Time to set up the d...
